EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Jordan's desert, this photograph portrays the raw energy and excitement of a traditional Arab horse race. Circa 1995, in the vicinity of the ancient city of Petra, the Bedouin people, the native inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula, came together to participate in this age-old tradition. The horses, their coats glistening with sweat, and their riders, dressed in traditional garb, raise a cloud of dust as they gallop towards the finish line. The riders, with their feet kicked high in the air, lean forward in determination, their focus unwavering. The desert, with its towering sand dunes and vast expanses, serves as the perfect backdrop to this thrilling spectacle. This photograph captures the essence of the Bedouin culture, their deep connection with their horses, and their enduring spirit. The horse race is not just a competition, but a celebration of their heritage and a testament to their resilience. This image transports us to a time and place where tradition and modernity coexist, offering a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Jordan.
