Udhruh Oral History Project Interview 12

Interview with Mohammad Sammwr and his wife Umm Thamir. Mohammad tells about wars in the area. He remembers the English excavation in 1980. He now lives in a new house, but he has an old house in the middle of Udhruh. He thinks the Nabateans and Romans brought the stone from somewhere called 'Maghda al-Hayar'. Mohammad says that some research claims the Nabateans were Bedouins and their forefathers. He shows a family tree and gives us a copy. Umm Thamir makes carpets to sell to tourists in Wadi Musa. She thinks it is important to save this tradition and she thinks tourism helps with that. As a child, she used to play in a tunnel for water near the castra.
