The Bedouin have roamed the desert with their animal herds for thousands of years. What aspect about their lifestyles do you find most interesting?

This looks so calm and peaceful. City life is no better than selfishness and greed. These people look so calm. Less money, less worry....

[eliasjammal]

Beautiful simple family life. No worry about money, politics, and modern technology.

Must be nice to be able to see the stars like that, even in the neighborhoods here in the states idiots are crazy for their outdoor lighting.

I took care of goats when i was a kid in mexico.
It was so peacefull no worries about anything it was like the time didnt exist just enjoy the nature and your herd becomes part of your family.
I really miss those days.
But something i dont understand
What do these animals eat? i just see rocks and dirt.

I will wait until the Middle East is more stable before I visit. Thank you for sharing this. Beautiful cultural practices to look forward to until then.

Nabatean grace is the true face of the Arab. Here lays the peace of the Arab world and the whole world for that matter. Petra is the sacred city of cities. It is the true forbidden district. I have been and will go again to appreciate the significance of this crossroads of humanity.

I was watching a travel chef show last night. They went to this place, they let them help with the food etc. It was on Ainsley Eats The Streets on Netflix. He goes all over the world tasting and learning about food. It is fun to watch

كانت عباءتنا على الرأس قبل خطوات الشيطان ..
نزلت على الأكتاف قلنا ستكون مريحة وأكثر ترتيباً ..
ثم ضاقت حتى وصفت الأجساد و حجم الكتفين ومعالم الصدر ..
توسعت الأكمام أظهرت الكفين والذراعين ..
قصرناها كي لاتتسخ فأظهرت القدم ..
نقاب يتسع بالتدريج
أظهر ملامح الوجه ..
كحل وزينة ..
فتنة عظيمة للرجال ولازلنا نقول إننا نخاف الله ونريد الجنة ..
من أحل لنا هذا وكأن الأمر عادي ؟؟؟!!؟
فأي زينة هذه ؟!!
سميناها عباءة وستر ونسينا الموت وعذاب القبر ..💔

{ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ }💔
ارجعي أختي وابنتي إلى الحق ... واذكري عذاب القبر والآخرة 💔
فالموت لا يعطي إنذار وليس له وقت 💔

انشريها قد تكونين سبباً في تذكير أو هداية ،،
💔


والحق يقال
لو استشعرنا جميعا مسؤوليتنا لما وصل حال الحجاب إلى هذا المستوى
واصبح زينة وتفاخر بأشكال العباءة الجمالية


💌 حفصة بنت سيرين
تغطي وجهها وهي عجوز،
فيقال لها:
قال الله في القواعد
(فليس عليهن جناح أن يضعن
ثيابهن)
فتقول: أتموا الآية
(وأن يستعففن خير لهن)

💌 ‏الحجاب نوعان:
- حجاب لـ"دفع" الأنظار
-و حجاب لـ"جذب" الأنظار

فـأي الـحـجـابـيـن حـجابـكِ؟
💔💔💔💔💔
