Some nomads or tribes that still exist today are:

• The Bedouins: They are a nomadic ethnic group of desert dwellers who live in the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa and the Levant. They are known for their hospitality, poetry and camel racing. They have adapted to the harsh environment of the desert by living in tents, wearing loose clothing and drinking camel milk
• The Sami: They are a nomadic ethnic group of reindeer herders who live in the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. They have a rich culture and language that is influenced by their close relationship with nature and their animals. They use sleds, skis and snowshoes to travel across the snow-covered landscape
• The Maasai: They are a nomadic ethnic group of cattle herders who live in the savanna regions of Kenya and Tanzania. They have a distinctive dress and appearance, wearing red robes, beaded jewelry and carrying spears. They have a warrior tradition and a semi-nomadic lifestyle, moving with their livestock in search of water and grass
