The ancient Arabian people known as the Nabataeans, (the “Oilmen of the Dead
Sea)were the successors of the Thamud people of Arabia. The Nabataean home base
was the present-day region of northwestern Saudi Arabia, from which they
eventually fanned out to build a kingdom (4th - 3rd century BC) that included
some tracts of the Negev Desert and most of what is now Jordan. Arabs are not
north-africans and for the most part not those people from syria north.
Although there are now large arabic communities in these other regions, they
are not indigenous to these areas.
