- More about Being Bedouin Around Petra: Life at a World Heritage Site in the Twenty-First Century
Petra, Jordan, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, leading to the resettlement of the semi-nomadic Bedouin inhabiting the area. In 2005, the Bedouin were recognized as UNESCO Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage for their unique relationship with the landscape they no longer live in. However, tourism, heritage protection, national discourse, an Islamic Revival, and New Age spiritualism have all competed for claims to the past in the present, making it a complex issue.

Petra, Jordan, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1985, has a unique history intertwined with the semi-nomadic Bedouin inhabiting the area. In 2005, the Bedouin themselves were recognized as UNESCO Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage for their unique relationship with the landscape they no longer live in. However, the presence of tourism, heritage protection, national discourse, an Islamic Revival, and even New Age spiritualism has created complex challenges for the Bedouin community. "Being Bedouin Around Petra" explores these issues, asking how this situation came to be and what it means to be Bedouin in the face of these competing claims to the past.
