Wadi Rum, Southern JORDAN

Wadi Rum is as close as you can get to....the heavenly desert and the silent majestic mountains! Some say A journey to Wadi Rum is a journey to another world and others describe it as A vast, silent place, timeless and starkly beautiful and even as the most stunning desertscape in the World.

Here, the red and yellow desert paints picturesque scenes against the towering coarse rock formations - a sight to see and appreciate and an experience to never forget. I had real close encounters with the raw desert and its inhabitants - mostly the camels and lizards. Explored by 4X4 and a lot of hiking up the mountains and up the towering sand dunes - the latter being a darn good workout. Spent the evening under the starry skies and slept inside a Bedouin tent and of course enjoyed wholesome Bedouin food.

I was so happy to at last spent time in what is probably the most stunning desertscape in the world!
