Though I didnt witness that myself but I can tell you well about it! Back in old days our residential areas containing houses were spread apart allowing different tribal clans to cluster together, and expand their territory as needed. Public areas were available amidst each cluster allowing social activities to run.
There were several types of houses:
The tent
I never lived in a tent! I know it might seem a bit difficult to live there, but as my ancestors confirm, living there was far away of all the complications of modern life! No need for toilets with all the cleaning inorganic materials which hurts the environment and the dusting daily task a woman has to do in her modern big house in which the family barely use one room (Sitting room).

The tent was the home and shelter during the winter season. It is made of animals skin and hair. The tent was divided into two parts; one for men and the other for women. Another tent was used for cooking and storage. The tents were arranged around the herding area or the oasis forming a circle or square with the Sheikhs (the head of the tribe) tent in the middle so that guests could recognize it.
