21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The soul of Petra
As the last rays of the sun illuminate the iconic Treasury of Petra, a Bedouin leaps between the overhanging rocks that set, like a jewel, this ancient once lost city. At sunset, as if it had two profoundly different souls, divided between day and night, when tourists leave this iconic destination, the Bedouins reawaken the ancient soul of Petra by repopulating the site, to eat around the bonfires and stay connected to the traditions handed down from their ancestors.
