The Bedouin Flutist at Petra

For three hours, our guide — a lithe, graceful, and taciturn young man — led us through the stunning desert from Little Petra to The Monastery at the main Petra site. He then ushered us into the interior of the monastery, a large cave-like space, and there left us to our own devices. He hoisted himself up on a stone wall, pulled out a simple metal flute and began to play Bedouin songs. His music resonated through the cave and through centuries of time.
