GeographyofArabia

Dear Mom and Dad, I have been living in Arabia for 9 months now. It is great in Arabia. Well, despite the hot,dry, weather and the lack of water. I'm a nomad so it's tough traveling from place to place in the dessert.I travel from place to place, trading with many people. Because of the location in Arabia, I travel in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

I live in a tent and raised herds of camels, sheep, and goats. The animals provide me meat,skins, and milk. I travel to a souk, which is a bazaar or market. I trade clothing. cooking supplies, animal products, and desert herbs.

Arabia is one of the hottest and driest places. When its summer, it gets up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit every day. Its hard for plants and animals to survive because its so hot. The sand dunes stretch for hundreds of miles, and can go up to 800 feet high. This makes it hard to travel across the desert. When I want water, I have to find an oasis. Oases contain water. They are mainly the only place to get water. This is also hard about living in Arabia and the desert. Although there are many reasons that Arabia is not the best place, I still love living here.
