The Last Bedu of Petra & Wadi Rum

This documentary follows Abu Lafi, one of the last Bedouin from Petra in Jordan, whose family lived in caves inside the ancient city itself. Determined that old desert traditions should not vanish, he begins teaching his young grandson the knowledge of Petra and Wadi Rum. Through their bond, it captures a vanishing way of life shaped by rock, sand and memory. Intimate and evocative, it preserves the story of a people bound to one of the world's great heritage sites.
