“ Married to a Bedouin” is Marguerite van Geldermalsen`s story of how a New Zeal&- born nurse became the wife of Mohammad Abdallah Othman, a Bedouin souvenir-seller of the Manaja (h) tribe, & lived with him
- & their children
- & a community of about one hundred families
- in the ancient caves of Petra in Jordan. It was 1978 & she & a friend were travelling through the Middle East when Marguerite met the charismatic Mohammad & decided that he was the man for her. Their home was a lofty two thousand year old cave carved into the red rock of a hillside. She became the resident nurse & learned to live like the Bedouin: cooking over fires, hauling water on donkeys & drinking sweet black tea. Over the years van Geldermalsen became as much of a curiosity as the cave-dwellers with tourists such as Mary Lovell & Frank Mc Court encouraging her to tell this, her extraordinary story.
