Setiu is the ancient Egyptian name of the people living in the desert and the edge of the desert. In addition to the Nubian Setiu , this term was also applied to the inhabitants of the Retjenus areas and the Sinai Peninsula , region of the so-called Setjet countries.
The Asian Setiu are to be distinguished from the sand Beduins , the Sesepeni , as they did not live exclusively in the desert areas. In addition, although they were part of the Aamu tribes , they did not inhabit the mountainous regions.
In the history of Sinuhe , the Asian Setiu are described as dangerous and armed group formations that fought against the cities of the mountainous regions. They were considered good archers .
