About
Long before the institutionalization of the terms "environment” and “ecology,” traditional Bedouin society lived a sustainable and ecological life, making daily use of herbs and plants for their medicine, food, and natural cosmetics.
Today, along with the advent of technology, Mariam Abo Rkeek implements the knowledge she acquired in her youth, returning to the use of active substances in desert plants for soaps, body lotions and more. In addition to learning about herbs, you’ll meet with Mariam, a model for female entrepreneurship in Bedouin society as it undergoes the complex process of modernization
