Petra Life Exhibition for Traditional Heritage
2000 years ago Petra society was described as "half Bedouin,
half farmer". The same description was given to Petra society at
the beginning of the nineteenth century. A team of partners and
specialists have spent almost 10 years developing the idea of
this exhibition to create a better understanding of the history
and anthropology of the area. No one can deny the fact that the
history of Petra is still alive. To explore this idea, we invite
you to this new and exciting exhibition where you can see and
enjoy a cultural experience:
• Petra in the eyes of the first photographers.
• Traditional tools and instruments.
• An unforgettable cultural experience.
• Local produce available to try and buy.
We are trying to make our history understandable and to bring it
to life. To experience all this, come and visit the new Petra
Life Exhibition for Traditional Heritage, which must be seen to
be believed!
