The Rashaida are a nomadic ethnic group primarily found in the eastern regions of Sudan and parts of Eritrea. They are known for their distinct culture, language, and traditional practices, which include herding camels and trading goods. The Rashaida speak a dialect of Arabic and have a rich oral tradition that reflects their history and values. Historically, the Rashaida migrated from the Arabian Peninsula to the Horn of Africa in the 19th century. They maintain a semi-nomadic lifestyle, often moving in search of water and grazing land. The community is organized into clans, each led by a chief, and they place a strong emphasis on family and social ties.
