Geography+of+Arabia

=__Poem for Islam__= It's climate is dry A water spigot in a summer drought In the middle Of the Mojave Desert. Islam. It's people Are attracted to it's oasis Like flies to fruit Islam. The Desert's deserted dunes Deserve dessert For dinner. As the wind whistles Over the dunes It appears like the two Are dancing. =__Letter__= Dear Mom and Dad,  I have been living in Arabia for about 3 years now and I have learned so much from the local people. I have learned their two ways of life. One is a nomadic life, which means they move from place to place. They mainly lived in tents and they raised sheep, goats, and camels. Thes animals were very useful because they could produce milk, meat, and their skins could be used as tents. The sheep's milk is actually pretty good you should try some.

A lot of craftsman and merchants lived in the town and worked in the trading game. The main area for trading for both nomads and settlers was in a town.

It is one of the hottest places in the world. These deserts have huge sand dunes, some of them are about 800 ft tall. Many desert plants have roots that stretch far to collect the most water as possible to survive. http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/093/cache/empty-quarter-dunes_9353_990x742.jpg
