The Libyan Bedouin are Arab nomadic pastoralists with ties to the Libyan Desert and Western Desert of Egypt. They share descent from the Arabian Peninsula tribe of Bani Sulaim and also have a common ancestress, Sa'ada, who provides the basis for a collective identity and status. Other large and small tribes of diverse ancestral backgrounds are also included among the Libyan Bedouin. Distinctive dialects of colloquial Arabic spoken among them are important markers of their Bedouin identity. Goats, sheep, cattle, and camels are the main herd animals.  The location of seasonal grazing areas changes from year to year because of the region's variable rainfall patterns.
