Petra, Jordan became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, and the
semi-nomadic Bedouin inhabiting the area were resettled as a
consequence. The Bedouin themselves paradoxically became UNESCO
Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2005 for the way in
which their oral traditions and everyday lives relate to the
landscape they no longer live in. Being Bedouin Around Petra asks:
How could this happen? And what does it mean to be Bedouin when
tourism, heritage protection, national discourse, an Islamic
Revival and even New Age spiritualism lay competing claims to the
past in the present?
