I was invited to my friends’ (Marwan & Nadia) Bedouin wedding, and had the privilege to document and take a few photos of the celebration which took place in “Umm Sayhoun”, a bedouin village in Petra.

The Bedouin wedding is 3-day celebration that consists of dancing, singing and serving food (Mansaf platters) to guests.

It was a great cultural experience, friendly people, welcoming atmosphere, good food, and most importantly, I learnt how to make mansaf balls professionally.
