In conjunction with the nomadic lifestyle are those Dom who are migrant workers. They can be found among those harvesting the crops in the Jordan Valley as well as the tobacco harvest in the northern part of Jordan. Other tent dwelling Nawar move in and out of the Bekaa in Lebanon as do the Bedouin. Few Dom in the Middle East are pastoralists. The concept of owning land is not inherent to the nomadic Dom worldview.
Natural resources are for the common good of man rather than individual ownership.
This relatively modern concept of ownership impoverishes the lives of people who once shared its natural resources. Today the Dom find it difficult to adjust to such an outlook. Few own the plots of land where they locate their settlements or camps. As a result they are subjected to forced relocations. Others might be described as semi-nomadic.
