It's strange she emphasizes "Bedouin Hospitality" because bedouins[1] comprise a really small percentage of the natives/citizens of the U.A.E., Qatar, Bahrain, etc.

Bedouins are a seminomadic group of people sort of like the gypsies of Europe. Most of the citizens of Arab countries are not bedouins. They're permanently settled in one location/area, and they do not identify as bedouin.

This cultural gaffe indicates that she should have done more research before making such a prominent statement. "Arab hospitality" or "Middle eastern hospitality" would have been more appropriate.

Perhaps, but that Bedouin hospitality is part of the self-identity of most Arab groups, I believe. (source, was married to a Palestinian from Kuwait for several years and was exposed to a variety of Arab cultures in U.S.)
