Abu Lafi is an old Bedouin from Petra in Jordan. He’s from one of the last families to live in a cave inside the archaeological site of Petra. To avoid the ancient Bedouin traditions to disappear, he initiates his 9-year-old grandchild, Zed, to become a real Bedouin, in the pure traditional style.
Being a Bedouin starts with learning to train and mount a camel. Once he's learned this, Zed’s challenge will be to set off for Mount Aaron, Petra's highest peak. If he succeeds to the top, Zed will be a true camel-driver, and will thus participate in the safeguarding of the Bedouins’ traditions of Petra and Wadi Rum.
