The Bedouins Five-volume set 1/5

Report by Majid Shubbar – Translated by Mahmoud Kabibo

The grandest and most comprehensive anthropological encyclopedia of the East. In five volumes, it documents the lineages, tribes, culture, and migrations of the Bedouins, crafted through half a century of deep exploration.

About this book

"Die Beduinen" (The Bedouins) is recognized as the ultimate and most meticulous historical record of nomadic life and Arab tribes before the advent of modern borders. With an elite documentary style, German diplomat and orientalist Max von Oppenheim presents a monumental survey based on decades of field research. The five volumes offer an exhaustive breakdown of tribal lineages, social structures, customs, and migrations spanning from the heart of Nejd and Hejaz to the Levant, Iraq, and Egypt. Dar Al-Warrak's prestigious edition delivers this iconic reference work, masterfully combining strict archival precision with a profound fascination for the spirit of the desert.

Why read it?

Because it is the most massive genealogical and anthropological project uncovering the intricate family trees and histories of Arab tribes. This encyclopedia provides a living, detailed map of historical roots, allowing you to understand how the desert shaped contemporary Middle Eastern society.

Who is it for?

For historians, anthropologists, and researchers of Arab tribal lineages; for families seeking an academic, documented account of their ancestral roots; and for collectors of rare, elite encyclopedic editions that define prestigious libraries.
