    The night we spent in the desert of Wadi Rum was definitely splendid. After the wonderful mud oven chicken dinner prepared by the Bedouin chef, we sat around the camp fire to keep ourselves warm from the desert chill, and enjoyed the Arabian water-pipe. The cheerful host share with us their unique culture, lifestyle, and tell jokes under the starry night. It was as if we were travelling back to the time when the stories of
         		 While we were enjoying the spectacular desert sunset, the cheerful and playful Bedouin tour guides drive the jeep up to the top of the Sandune, and jump from the top in a
         		 Bedouin are desert-dwelling Arabian ethnic group in Jordan. Since long time ago, they travel around the desert and engaged in nomadic herding and agriculture. The partnership between Bedouin and camels has never been stopped: From being the only mean of transport in the past, to offer an exotic ride to the tourist today, Camel pays a critical role in the living and culture of Bedouin.: by gowiththebedouin, Views[1088]
         		 Having spent six weeks in the company of these people it is hard to ignore the happiness that seems to permeate their daily lives. Smiles are rarely given half-heartedly. This girl was never without a contagious lightness that infected everyone around her and it’s a quality shared to varying degrees in all the Bedouin children. Their mischievous sense of fun is hard to avoid and why would you want to? This photo was taken during a session sewing up the families’ traditional tent, she wouldn’t stop cracking jokes and being funny. If ever there was an inauspicious opportunity to capture happiness maybe a daily chore was it.: by jasondury, Views[276]
         		 The characters in this image all come from different families however in an afternoon spent chatting at one of their houses you would not guess it. This is a long developed characteristic the Bedouin are typically very proud of. “You, me, him, no matter.” The intimacy of the families comes, they tell me, out of necessity. Nomadic tribes depend on each other for myriad aspects of their lives. This is a quality evidently passed on to the current generation. As the Bedouin are absorbed into the urban populace perhaps the love-thy-neighbour attitude will start to fade. These kids insist that they will always be this way and with any luck the legacy will last. In the meantime they are providing a lasting impression on those who take the time to understand them.: by jasondury, Views[602]
     
    The current generation of kids will experience a transition from nomadic to urban living but for the time being the freedom of a simple lifestyle offers a great deal of opportunity for spontaneous soccer matches. The sharp gravel consists of granite, quartz and various other sole destroying minerals but these boys play with all the fervour of a world cup match at the smallest opportunity. : by jasondury, Views[445]
         		 The Jordanian government is increasingly pressuring the Bedouin to adopt an urban existence and along with the allure of consumerism and ostensible affluence that it promises the Bedouin are slowly being drawn from their nomadic lifestyle. Building a school in the area occupied by this tribe has encouraged the families to take a more permanent living arrangement. The appeal of a culture bent on consumerism is both literally and figuratively just over the next hill. As the children grow into young adults they learn by contrast the value of the relaxed and simple lifestyle they’ve always known. At the same time the perceived rewards of the high stress and competitive world that they’re being pushed and pulled towards provide a decision that this generation will have to make.: by jasondury, Views[647]
         		 There is a striking contrast between the severe landscape and the relaxed people who inhabit it. It’s as if the land itself has coached the Bedouin to accept life on its own terms. Mahmoud (running to the right) lives in the house at the bottom of the photo. He spends much of his day walking up and down the road playing characters to the other families with the debris he finds either side of the road but the highlight for him is when he races his uncles ancient vehicle for the two hundred metres from his house to the next. Toughened bare feet hammering the sharp stone, his uncle laughing affectionately the whole way, amidst all the hardship of the daily jobs he is victorious on a daily basis. : by jasondury, Views[323]

         		 An elderly man sells the distinctive ‘sesame round bread’ at his stall in the Souk of the Muslim Quarter, Jerusalem. The Old City of Jerusalem is home to a some of the holiest sites in the world for Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike. This can lead to tension between the inhabitants, with the surrounding area of East Jerusalem playing host to the hugely controversial barrier wall that separates Israel from the Palestinian West Bank. : by jonny_whiting, Views[890]
         		 A victim of the Yom Kippur war of 1973 and pockmarked with thousands of bullet holes, a Syrian mosque lies deserted deep in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights. The area was witness to intense fighting during the war and now lays waste to abandoned tanks and bunkers. To this day, the Golan Heights remains contested territory, with gun shots and artillery fire from the Syrian civil war well within earshot. : by jonny_whiting, Views[1442]
     
    On the citadel walls of downtown Amman, a young boy passes the time playing with a homemade kite. As well as the many minarets that dot the horizon, homemade kites are a common feature of the Ammani skyline; offering a welcome and colorful break to the sprawl of low-rise buildings that cover the city. Amman, Jordan. : by jonny_whiting, Views[878]
         		 A Bedouin camel rests in the midday sun in the Wadi Rum desert, Jordan. The desert is famed for being location where T.E. Lawrence staged the Arab revolt from in the early 20th century. The Bedouin community still live in the desert, resisting the trappings of the Western world. Using techniques that have been passed down for generations, the Bedouin continue to live off the land much like their ancestors did. : by jonny_whiting, Views[1207]
         		 A horse and carriage charge down the 1.5km siq at the ancient Nabatean city of Petra, Jordan. The historic site of Petra is one of the best preserved ancient sites in the world and is one of the 7 new wonders of the world. The city is carved out of the rose rock of the mountain walls, and offers incredibly complex and ornate monuments and tombs, it is understandably one of Jordan’s most visited tourist attractions. : by jonny_whiting, Views[836]
