The first thing we can notice is that the word "Bedouin" comes from the Arabic word "badiya", which translates to "the desert". They took the desert as their home and usually did not stay in the same area too long because of resources scarcity. That's why they're considered nomads.
In addition, we could say Bedouin society is framed within two major values: loyalty to the clan/tribe and tradition. Often times, many Arab states perceive Bedouin culture to be a lot like Jordanian, which is also particularily reliant on the loyalty of the major clans for stability, which can also be said about Saudi Arabia.
Their hierarchy of loyalty is based upon the proximity of male kinship starting with a nuclear family and going outwards. This is well examplified by the widely cited Bedouin apothegm "I am against my brother, my brother and I are against my cousin, my cousin and I are against the stranger".
Hope this helps out!
