Authenticity of the culture from the point of view of a tourist

The authenticity of the culture of the Bedouins is rich in authenticity as it does not portray a “cooked” image of the destination. When tourists visit the Bedouin tribe, they will be able to soak in all their rich heritage and culture. There has not been a change in their culture or the way they have dressed or speak even with Western influence due to Globalisation.

A destination is not authentic when the locals are dressed or behaving differently than they normally do. However, for the Bedouins, they have to be dressed in their traditional clothes everyday as their rich culture and traditions are conservative and strict in terms of their behaviour and dressing.

Hence the tourists will be able to have an authentic experience when they visit the Bedouin tribe. The tourists will have a new and enjoyable experience as the Bedouins are hospitable people who welcome tourists with open arms and they are willing to share with the tourists about their culture.

Bedouins showcase their culture in everything they do, from their dressing, to their food, to the way they serve coffee to their guests.
