Abstract

This research mainly talks about two of the ancient Arab tribes that belong to the Juhayna tribe that spread in Egypt and Sudan, namely the Al-Aqilat tribe in Egypt and the Baggara tribe in Sudan. Herding, hunting and agriculture are of importance in aspects of social construction. Many anthropological studies have tried to explain the relationship between man and the geographical environment in which he lives, where the interaction between environmental elements and the behavioral practices of man within this environment crystallized in housing, clothing and handicrafts. People use it in their daily life.
