Mother Saiḥun transforms Petra village
The village of Umm Saihon in the Petra District historically relied primarily on tourism as the main source of livelihood. Its residents lived a life closely connected to tourists and visitors from various countries, sharing simple customs, traditions, and heritage that reflected a Bedouin lifestyle and rich traditions. The tourism industry was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting employment opportunities and the local economy. There are hopes to restore tourism activity and a call to preserve the heritage and customs. The residents aspire for a return of tourism to boost employment opportunities and strengthen cultural ties, as European visitors used to experience Bedouin life firsthand and learn about the local heritage.
