Petra es la joya arqueológica del Reino de Jordania y fue declarada una de las Siete Maravillas del Mundo en el año 2007. Pero mucho antes de convertirse en destino turístico, Petra ha sido el hogar de la Tribu B’doul, una tribu semi-nómade que ha vivido durante generaciones en las cuevas, tumbas y antiguas casas de Petra. A pesar de los intentos del estado de reubicarlos en un nuevo poblado, numerosos miembros de la tribu se resisten a perder su identidad vinculada fuertemente a Petra y a su estilo de vida semi-nómade en el desierto. //
Petra is the archaeological jewel of the Kingdom of Jordan, proclaimed one of the Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. Yet long before it became a destination for travelers, Petra was the home of the B’doul Tribe—a semi-nomadic people who, for generations, lived among its caves, tombs, and ancient dwellings. Despite the state’s efforts to relocate them to a new settlement, many members of the tribe resist leaving behind an identity woven inseparably into Petra’s stones and into their semi-nomadic life in the desert.
