Lawrence said of his Bedouin allies during the Arab revolt in the First World War, "while very difficult to drive, the Bedu are easy to lead; if you have the patience to bear with them. Today's thousands of visitors to Petra, now a World Heritage Site, are mesmerized by the scenery as well, and rarely take much notice of the area's inhabitants: the Bedu (of the Bedouin tribes), who have worked and lived at Petra for over five generations. This leads to considerations that Arab culture is based on so-called "traditional" values, inherited, for instance, from a mythical Bedu way of life, cradle of purity, as opposed to "modernity," which amounts to rejecting the imports of cultural mixture, viewed as a result of foreign domination. |
