...other more extravagant Sinai accomodation, near Dahab, on the Red Sea.

Bedouin are nomadic desert people of different tribes spread over North Africa and the Middle-East. They are courageous, self-sufficient and offer extreme hospitality to other desert travellers - unless of course they have a grudge in which case the traveller will become dog meat pretty quickly.
A popular bedou saying is 'I against my brothers, I and my brothers against my cousins, I and my brothers and my cousins against the world'.
A common mistake: Bedou is the singular form of the Arabic noun, bedouin the plural just as fellah [peasant farmer] is singular and fellaheen is plural.
