Daily Life in Early Arabia

Daily life in Early Arabia Main Idea (Objective): The deserts, coastline and oases of Arabia helped shape the Arab way of life.

Daily life in Early Arabia Lecture Focus (Essential Question): Do you ever think about how rainfall shapes your life? Lets look at how the lack of rain helped shape the Arabs’ way of life.

Daily life in Early Arabia Desert stretches over most of the Arabian peninsula. The heat is intense and travelers are at the whim of blinding sandstorms.

Daily life in Early Arabia Water is only found at Oases…green areas fed by underground water.

Daily life in Early Arabia

Not all of Arabia is dry, however… In the mountains of the southwest, enough rain falls to support plants such as juniper and olive trees.

Daily life in Early Arabia To survive this harsh environment, Arabs formed into clans…which are groups of people related by family ties and who are completely loyal to each other. The tribes leaders were called a Sheikh.

Daily life in Early Arabia In todays Arab world the term Sheikh is used to describe someone who is royalty, or basically people of imperial blood or status within a country. (Tomb from Sheikh Abdul Hamid in West Martapura, Indonesia.)

Daily life in Early Arabia Lets look back on our Lecture Focus (Essential Question). How has the lack of rainfall shaped the desert areas of the Middle East?

Daily life in Early Arabia Questions: 1) What is a Oases? A green area that can be found in the middle of a desert. 2) How are these Oases able to survive? They are fed by ground water

Who are the Bedouins? Some Arabs were desert herders…to water and graze their camels, goats and sheep, they traveled from oasis to oasis. These herders were called Bedouins( Bed-oo-win).

Who are the Bedouins?

Today, many Bedouins still roam the desert and live in tents.

Who are the Bedouins? Bedouins in the past lived in tents and ate what they could forage…dried fruits and nuts. They also drank the milk of their animals. Only rarely would they eat meat…their animals were much too valuable to be used as food.

Who are the Bedouins? Questions: 1) What is a herder? A person who raises animals for a living 2) Why do you think a herder’s animals are more valuable alive then used as food? Answers will vary…

Trade and Towns Many Arabs lived in villages where they farmed or raised animals. These villages were located near Oases or in the northern mountain ranges.

Trade and Towns Some of the villagers were merchants who transported goods across the desert. To fend off attacks by Bedouins, many Arabs traveled in a Caravan.

Trade and Towns Caravan - a group of traveling merchants and animals

Trade and Towns

By about 500 C.E., Arabian merchants handled most trade between India and the Mediterranean Sea. As their trade grew, Arab merchants founded towns along their trade routes in Arabia.

Trade and Towns Makkah, also known as Mecca, became the largest and richest of the established towns. Mecca was a crossroads for merchants and also became an extremely important religious site…today its located in Saudi Arabia

Trade and Towns Mecca became the holiest city in Arabia, holding within its walls the sacred place in the Islamic Religion.

Trade and Towns

In the middle of mecca was the Kaaba, a low square building surrounded by statues of gods and goddesses.

Trade and Towns Essentially the Kaaba is a granite brick, covered with a silk curtain and calligraphy in gold and silver-wrapped thread. Arabs believed that the great stone inside the Kaaba was actually from heaven.

Trade and Towns

Pilgrims, or people who travel to a holy place, flocked to Mecca. Arabians worship many gods, but the most important was Allah.

Trade and Towns Allah was considered to be the creator of the world within the Islamic Religion.

Trade and Towns Questions: 1) What is a caravan and how were they used in Arabia? A group of merchants traveling from town to town 2) What was the most important town to be established in Arabia? Mecca 3) What is the Kaaba and how is it important? A great stone in Mecca, believed to be from heaven

Trade and Towns Using Geography Skills: 1) Which empire was located north and west of the Arabian Peninsula? 2) What modern countries were part of the Persian Empire?

Trade and Towns Lecture Check: How do you think geography shaped life in ancient Arabia?

Trade and Towns Persuasive Writing: Answer the following questions in a well organized and creative re open ended explanation. Pretend that you are a Bedouin. What dangers lye ahead of you on your journey throughout the desert. What challenges do you have with raising your livestock in this environment? How can you create a safe trip for you and your animals?
