Abstract

The Bedouin society has headed and is still heading in a unified pattern from the north to the south in spite of some variations that emerge from time to time due to the progress and development in other societies from which the nomad society cannot be detached completely in spite of its particularity. The nomad society is manifested by a set of series rings that complement each other and woman in the nomad life represents an important ring as them woman enjoys a type of freedom the women in cities do not enjoy especially the issues of wearing veils, going out of the house and socializing with others although when they go out the house, they accomplish some business and work to maintain the daily needs of their households but this is a chance for them to socialize and enjoy. It is worth observing that the Bedouin society in general and the Bedouin women in particular is attracting to everyone who visits it or study it and the majority of people agree that the Bedouin women are characterized with beauty, stiffness, dignity and self-dependence and all this will be mentioned in details in our research.
