Brief About The Project: 

How can the tourists grasp the real essence of Petra?
When they deal with the locals of Petra and learn their native culture in its living context. This project is celebrating the intangible cultural heritage of the locals of Petra, taking it out from behind the physical buildings and sharing it with the visitors to achieve an effective experience within their cultural and social environment.
This project is not a museum one that is confined to a building. It is, in fact, a network of people these are linked and presented as tours so that visitors can come and interact with the local community and experience their culture in its living context.
