EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in the late 1980s, a young Arab man named Ahmed proudly sits atop his beloved grey Arabian horse, Petra, against the backdrop of the breathtaking desert landscape of Jordan. The man's traditional attire, including a keffiyeh or kufiya headdress, adds to the authenticity of the scene, which transports us back in time to an era when the connection between Arab men and their horses was deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the region. The grey Arabian horse, a breed renowned for its beauty, strength, and endurance, appears calm and obedient as Ahmed gently holds the reins, his hands adorned with intricate silver bracelets. The bridle, made of supple leather and adorned with intricate silver work, sits comfortably on the horse's head, reflecting the skill and craftsmanship of the Bedouin people. The desert landscape, with its towering sand dunes and vast expanses of golden sand, stretches out before them, creating a sense of isolation and tranquility. The harsh conditions of the desert have shaped the lives of the Bedouin people for centuries, making them expert horsemen and skilled navigators. This photograph captures a moment of harmony between man and nature, as Ahmed and Petra blend seamlessly into the desert environment. It is a poignant reminder of the deep connection between the Arab people and their horses, a bond that has endured through the centuries and continues to thrive in the modern world. The photograph, which dates back to circa 1985, is a testament to the timeless beauty and resilience of the Arabian horse and the Bedouin people, and serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East.
