Which element, inscribed in 2012 on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is traditional Bedouin chanted poetry of the UAE and Oman?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Al Taghrooda
- Step 1: Al-Taghrooda, traditional Bedouin chanted poetry in the United Arab Emirates and the Sultanate of Oman, was inscribed in 2012. Answer: Al Taghrooda. It is a transnational element on the Representative List. Why not the others: Al Sadu is listed as traditional weaving skills, not poetry; the Mu'allaqat odes and Zajal are not listed there as the chanted Bedouin poetry of the UAE and Oman.
