Stupid Arab Media Elite Glamourize Bedouin Life

See the video below for Myriam Fares dances in the desert among tents. I am a proud Arab but I cannot take the portrayal of Bedouins in Arab media. They make it look like one hell of lifestyle. Bedouin life is not a choice, it was born out of necessity. The moment, they had money, they abandoned this life style and moved into one of those tall buildings.

Sure, the dreses they use here are nice, but they look like nothing the Badu or Bedouins in the desert would wear. I gues keping it real. This clip was part of a dancer show, the song is a very popular title Ya Saria, an old Arab poetry meme that appears in more than one work. So it took a Lebanese entertainer who vacations in Miamia to tell us how Bedouin really live.

I know that life in the desert is not about glamour, dances and good looking people. I have seen it from up and close. Myriam loves the Gulf money, and thus she had to do something to stand from the pack. She is a talented dancer no doubt and she used to make good choices in songs, but few are listening now.
