The Saudi girl, Jawaher Al-Mutairi, avoids diving into the modernity of the city to preserve her deep roots in the desert, while she travels between the spaces of the desert with her creatures until she becomes unable to move away from them.
Al-Mutairi believes that the life of the desert is a legacy and an authentic history as the livelihood of the ancestors. Her father sowed in her mind that there is no difference between men and women, because the life of the desert depends on everyone and on the solidarity of all individuals.
The importance of the role of women
She also indicated in an interview with Al-Arabiya.net that the spirit of collective cooperation has a pleasure that only those who practiced and experienced it know, stressing that the role of women is important and its proof is the role of mothers and grandmothers in the past, and that the work that falls upon them did not prevent them from performing their family duties. .
She also explained that all women’s jobs are desirable to her at the beginning, but doing them is necessary, such as providing fodder and water for camels and taking care of them in the pasture or the place to sleep, in addition to choosing a comfortable home for the shepherds.
According to what she said, she learned from the desert patience and self-reliance, and enabled her to take and make appropriate solutions and decisions.
As for the most important situations that she lived through, it was when she traveled from one city to another by land despite the lack of communication towers, at that time the gasoline was almost running out, so she thought that she would be stuck in the desert forever, but the compass of knowing the directions saved her and she was able to survive after hours of being lost.
The Saudi girl participates in raising camels in the pastures and finds it an entertainment for her, especially when winter and rainy seasons come and migrates towards the sources of spring.
And she revealed that one day she decided to document the moment of trekking with camels on social media, and she found a wide interaction from followers, as well as monitoring her diaries in the desert and the details of this life, the captivating moments that a desert person lives, and the events and malfunctions that he encounters on his way.
the hardest hardships
It is noteworthy that the girl confirmed that the desert usually surprises its inhabitant with difficulties that he must solve and overcome. Therefore, Al-Mutairi learned maintenance work for all the machines intended for camels and cars, due to the large number of breakdowns and the sand being stuck in the rainy time.
She also moved her caravan from one location to another, and it was one of the most difficult tasks for her, as it needs a specific driver because of its technical faults, which may delay the transportation trip for days until it is repaired.
However, she usually prefers to drive her favorite car, “Al-Ruba'” and associated her name with it, and it suits her needs between the city and the desert.
