Erga Rehns was born in Palestine in 1935. She was raised in New York, lived in Portugal, and lived among the Bedouins in the desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan. This post contains two videos from 2007 that were posted by Al Jazeera about her life in the desert.
Feeling the need to return to her roots and a simpler life, Erga had lived for seven years in the Wadi Rum desert when this record of her bedouin lifestyle was first presented. She outlived two husbands prior to her move to Jordan and in the video shares a story about receiving a marriage offer from a Bedouin man when she was 70 years old.
