There are two general categories of Arabs: Fellahin or Settled Arabs and Bedouin or Nomadic/Desert Arabs. The Fellahin, which make up the overwhelming majority of the Arab population (95%), all live in towns or cities and "normal" houses or apartments. The Bedouins historically lived in tents, but today, as substantial minority live in houses or apartments where they have been forcibly settled by regimes as diverse as Egypt, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
For those Bedouins who still live in tents, the reason they do so is because they are a nomadic people who need to provide enough grazing land for their flocks of sheep. As a result, having a fixed dwelling is not useful when trying to keep up with migrating to new pastures. As a result, they use tents since they are easily assembled, disassembled, and reassembled, while still providing sanctuary from the elements.

What is Saracen?
"Saracen" is an adaptation of a Greek word, sarakenoi, meaning "people who live in tents"; that is, Arabs. I suppose it could have been applied to some American Natives, but the Ancient Greeks didn't know any. Of course, not all Arabs live in tents, but the word "arab" is Arabic for what are sometimes called bedouins, who are those Arabs who specifically DO live in tents.The Europeans (starting with the ancient Greeks) adopted the word first to mean "Arab". A number of different peoples in the Middle East were at times called Saracens, but the common thread is that they were always considered barbarians, especially by the Romans, who often fought Middle Eastern peoples. The term was a pejorative, or slur, for much of the Middle Ages, especially during the Crusades, when invading Christian armies used it to describe the locals, who resisted the invasions of their homeland. Note that, to Europeans at the time, both Arabs and Muslims were labelled "Saracens", but not all Arabs are (or were) Muslims and not all Muslims are (or were) Arabs.
