Best Answer

The communities of the Arabian Peninsula prospered due primarily to trade between the cities in the Fertile Crescent, Ethiopia, and along the Arabian coast. There were also farming and shepherding communities that form along the oases. In the 20th century, the discovery of petroleum in Arabia has allowed for the financing of desalination, leading to much larger cities.

How did Arabs adapt to life?

Arabs survived on the Arabian Peninsula primarily as nomadic pastoralists, meaning that they raised sheep and goats and moved across the Arabian Peninsula in search of grass to graze. They would usually find increased greenery at one of the many oases on the Arabian Peninsula. Eventually, Arabs created cities that could effectively trade local wealth and products for foreign foodstuffs from breadbaskets like Mesopotamia or Egypt.

Why did people live nomadic life on the Arabian peninsula?

The Arabian Peninsula is largely arid desert. There are a few oasis areas but just not enough fertile farmlands are available to allow for a agriculture based way of sustenance. Without a farm to raise food, people use animals a main food source. Feeding animals requires grazing. The rainfall patterns on the Arabian Peninsula dictate the pattern of nomadic life. (This is very similar to the way that the indigenous peoples of the America's followed the buffalo.) The oasis areas,where people have settled to farm, are where the nomads trade animal and goods for grain, vegetables or other agricultural goods. Time and season dictate the pattern the nomads will follow each year.
