Rather than reproducing romanticised or commodified portrayals of Bedouin life and culture, this book highlights and document the lived, intangible, and little-known aspects of Bedouin cultural heritage, including poetry, stories, ecological knowledge, mobility, and the beauty of tattooing.Through Gazua’s unique photographic eye, and trips across Jordan’s Badia, the book brings to life Bedouin culture and everyday practices that risk disappearing with the passing of older generations. This book is both a record and a celebration of Bedouin cultural heritage, demonstrating its adaptability, resilience, and enduring significance. It seeks to ensure that this heritage is honoured as a living and evolving part of Bedouin identity.
