Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do like desert tents still exist as permanent residences? I always assumed herders and indigenous peoples would live in those but I have no clue.

@BlueVeins not dumb.
Saudí people kinda come in two groups
Either
badoiun
They have rich Arab culture and history
And have strong ties to the desert.
They take care of camels and sheep
And either live in the desert or near it .
some Bedouin families don’t even allow you to marry out of the “tribe”
To keep the heritage going
and their tribes are known within Saudi
Or
Hadari (city people, including me)
Who are just normal city folks
However the Bedouin lifestyle is kinda impossible in this time and age
So most of them actually live in cities/villages and live normal modern lives and have jobs etc
But they usually have their own neighborhoods
And they also have their own accent
As a Saudi you can know them easily by their last name , accent , even the way they dress sometimes.
+ a lot of them are good at poetry and have lots of pride in their tribe.
Some Bedouin families live luxurious rich lives in cities but still have a tribal camp in the desert where they spend lots of time at. Also they have their own traditions !
