Petra, Jordan became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, and the semi-nomadic Bedouin inhabiting the area were resettled as a consequence. The Bedouin themselves paradoxically became UNESCO Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage in 2005 for the way in which their oral traditions and everyday lives relate to the landscape they no longer live in. Being Bedouin Around Petra asks: How could this happen? And what does it mean to be Bedouin when tourism, heritage protection, national discourse, an Islamic Revival and even New Age spiritualism lay competing claims to the past in the present?

Merveille naturelle et joyau archéologique de la Jordanie, la ville antique de Pétra, Reqem pour les Nabatéens, saris équivalent dans le monde, fascine les explorateurs et les visiteurs depuis Sa redécouverte au début du XIXe siècle. Curieusement, les Anciens, férus de merveilles du monde, n'en ont laissé aucune description, et il faut attendre le passage du sultan mamelouk Baïbars dans la ville désertée, au XIIIe siècle, pour en lire le premier tableau. C'est donc, d'une part, l'archéologie - celle des tombeaux rupestres mais aussi des maisons, des sanctuaires et des systèmes de collecte de l'eau - et, d'autre part, l'étude des sources écrites - l'épigraphie nabatéenne ou grecque, la papyrologie et les mentions éparses chez les auteurs anciens - qui permettent, mis bout à bout, d'écrire une histoire de la ville et d'interpréter ses vestiges. Tel est le propos de ce livre, qui ne se borne pas à présenter l'âge d'or de Pétra, au Ier siècle avant et au Ier siècle après Jésus-Christ, mais mène le lecteur des origines de l'occupation humaine sur le site, au Néolithique, jusqu'à la mise en valeur actuelle de ce haut lieu du tourisme, soulignant au passage l'intérêt des monuments roi-nains, byzantins et médiévaux. Pour cela, les auteurs s'appuient non seulement sur deux siècles d'exploration savante, mais aussi sur les grandes fouilles des années 1990, qui ont renouvelé notre compréhension du site. Compagnon ou complément nécessaire d'une visite dans la capitale des Nabatéens, l'ouvrage est également un essai de mise au point historique qui s'adresse à tout lecteur intéressé par le Proche-Orient. Mais que l'amateur de mystère se rassure, les pans d'ombre restent vastes ! Pourquoi de grands caravaniers ont-ils choisi une capitale aussi peu accessible ? Comment les adeptes arabes d'une religion sans images ont-ils développé une iconographie religieuse foisonnante et un art à l'exubérance toute baroque ? De qui les grands tombeaux de Pétra abritaient-ils les sépultures ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions posées.

Once visited only by the cognoscenti of the ancient world, over the last decade Petra has drawn almost a million visitors in some years. Petra burst into popular consciousness with the release of enormously popular motion picture Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1989. Moviegoers all over the world were introduced to some of the spectacular scenic wonders of Petra: the Siq, a narrow chasm with colorful, towering sandstone walls, and Al-Khazna, the exquisitely carved tomb for a Nabataean king. For centuries, the Nabataeans controlled the trade in precious commodities across the Arabian Peninsula, bring spices from Southeast Asia, incense from present-day Yemen, gold and ivory from Africa, and silk from the Far East across the Empty Quarter to ports on the western Mediterranean. In 1985, Petra was included on the list of World Heritage Sites. Since then, low cost jet travel and a fast highway from the capital city of Amman have made the site increasingly accessible. The Jordanian government has made attracting tourists to Jordan a top priority. For all of the attention that Petra has received, it is still surprisingly poorly understood. A widely accepted chronology of the city, even the dates of major tombs and monuments, has yet to be established. Even the mystery of why and how Arab nomads adopted a sedentary lifestyle and built a great city has yet to be fully explained. Will Petra's popularity as a tourism destination overshadow the importance of addressing these questions, and, more importantly, will tourism damage the archaeological remains there in ways that make answers more difficult or even impossible to find?
