This post is from E.
One of the saddest things I have ever seen.
Two tourist women atop a camel being led through the ruined collonade by a small boy singing Arabic songs. The singing was obviously meant to be part of the experience, but what child should have to sing for money? Music for me has always been very personal, and to see it being so depersonalized for such a young child is a strong reminder of the affect of Western tourism and Western money on the local economy and community.
Could post more examples of seeming changes in local community based due to excessive tourism, but will leave it here.
