Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The Hagrites were a nomadic Arab tribe mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as descendants of Hagar. They lived east of the Dead Sea, near the Sinai Peninsula and northern Arabia. Today, "Hagrites" does not denote a distinct ethnic group. They assimilated into larger Arab populations over time, losing separate identity. Modern genealogies may trace distant affinities, but no identifiable Hagrite community exists.
