Jordan day 4: Wadi Rum

Driving through the village on the edge of the desert.




A nicer way to travel - we were in a 1942 open-back Toyota. The camels would be less bumpy, and surely wouldn't have needed to be rammed by another camel to get started.



A rock with messages from passing merchants, asking other passing merchants the news.

That palm tree is at a spring where Lawrence of Arabia camped.

We climbed to the top of this sand dune, burning our feet.


The mountain appears to be covered in icing, an effect of snow melting down from the top and eroding the rock.


Messages carved into the rock in the gorge.

Feet symbolise a route for travelling merchants. The animal is an ibex.


A long view of the sand dune we climbed.





While having tea in a bedouin tent, one of them started dressing me up in this outfit. I think it's a good look.


The team.



The rock bridge.


My camel - the king of the camels.

Ciaran's camel. Cutie.
