The Bedouins (desert dwellers in Arabic) are an Arab ethnocultural group, descended from nomads who have historically inhabited the Arabian and Syrian Deserts. Their territory stretches from the vast deserts of North Africa to the rocky sands of the Middle East, and they are traditionally divided into tribes or clans, which share a common culture of herding camels and goats. While many of them have abandoned the nomadic traditions for urban lifestyle, they retain traditional music, poetry, dances, and many other cultural practices. Traditions like camel riding and camping in the deserts are also popular leisure activities for urbanised Bedouins who live within close proximity to deserts or other wilderness areas.

0146 ISRAEL (Jerusalem) - Western Wall - part of The Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls (UNESCO WHS)
According to the Tanakh (the canon of the Hebrew Bible), Solomon's Temple was built atop the Temple Mount from Jerusalem in the 10th century BCE and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. Hasn't been found it any trace of this temple, so its actual existence is doubted by many archaeologists. The Second Temple was completed in 516 BCE, and around 19 BCE Herod the Great began a massive expansion project on the Temple Mount (which seems that was finished during the reign of King Agrippa II). He expanded the platform on which the temple stood, resulting in an enlarged enclosure. Today's Western Wall formed part of the retaining perimeter wall of this platform. Herod's Temple was destroyed by the romans, along with the rest of Jerusalem, in 70 CE, during the First Jewish-Roman War.
