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?
