Desert survival

The Bedouin knew every detail of wells across the country . For generations people survived through the uae's sweltering summers by managing to eke out limited and hidden food , water and shelter . The Bedouin developed the ability to read subtle clues about where water might be . The Bedouin would dig until they hit the water and the well would be named after the man who did the job . They used a sheepskin water vessel called qerba , in dire straits , the Bedouin would drain a camel's body of its water by killing it and drinking the water that is stored its stomach , Camels can drink about 100 liters in eight minutes ; the milk of camels and goats could also serve as means to replace water . The Bedouin were also acclimatised to the desert heat and able to withstand greater dehydration than most . Bedouins can survive for 48 hours without water because their body adjusts it self through sweat , while most of the people can survive for only 24 hours
