For a dazzling display of architectural grandeur, hit a new high during a helicopter ride at nightfall. The white chopper waits on its pad. Dubai Festival City twinkles like a Christmas tree. I strap in, pull on my headphones and feel the throbbing rotor blades rev up. There's an initial, rocky lift. Then an involuntary whoop as we pick up speed and push forward over the water. From here, it's like a 3D movie. Downtown Dubai comes on like Gotham, anchored by the soaring Burj Khalifa. We fly around the Burj Al Arab, lit up like a purple sail. We float over The Palm Jumeirah, its fronds a-glitter. Twenty-two minutes later, we're back at base, elated. From AED1,095 (179) per person. helidubai.com.

Introduction / HistoryBedouins traditionally live a nomadic lifestyle, spreading from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean, and from the borders of Turkey to Yemen. The word 'bedouin' comes from the Arab word 'Bedou' that means "desert dweller." Estimates say nomadic Bedouins constitute about one-tenth of the population of the Middle East.
In modern Arab states and Israel, Bedouins are faced with challenges in their lifestyle, as their traditional Islamic, tribal culture has begun to mix with western practices. Men are more likely to adjust and interact with the modern cultures, but women are bound by honor and tradition to stay within the family dwelling. They therefore lack opportunity for advancement. Problems facing the Bedouin population of Israel include dispossession and the struggles connected to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Some live in townships, while others either live as squatters on land they claim as their own, or in the original 1948 refugee camps. The Bedouins who have Israeli citizenship receive free education and medical services as well as cash benefits for children, something that has attributed to the high birthrate among Bedouins (5% growth per year). Unemployment, on the other hand, is very high, and few obtain a high school degree (4%), and even fewer graduate from college (0.6%). Even though the Bedouin population exceeds 110,000 in the Negev, there are still many physical, social, and spiritual problems. The Bedouins are almost untouched by the gospel. Christian resources are available in the Arabic language, the Bedouin's mother tongue.
