The final event on the Jordan trip before the last couple of (dull) days back in Amman was the overnight 4*4 trip to Wadi Rum. There were 3 others on the overnight trip (Germany, Belgium, USA) the girl pictured from Brazil was just doing a half day there before having to cross the border to catch a flight. Something we all questioned the logic of.
The deserts I had seen before were all flat and featureless but the scenery here was amazing. We spent the first hour climbing rocks to look at water sources. Didn't find it but at least got a good picture.
Only 2 out of our group was brave (or stupid) enough to climb sand dunes in that heat and yes I was one of them.
Our waiting point.......that bridge was a lot safer than it looked.
There were of course lots of other groups on tours but everyone was spread out over a vast area. We did all meet up outside this canyon for a break.
The four of us finally made it to our tents for the night. The German dropped his very costly sunglasses down the toilet!!!!!!
A few more people and a couple of beers wouldn't have gone a miss but we managed to stay up talking until late.
There was another group that looked miles away but they sounded very close across the desert at night. It would have been great to go walking over to them but we were advised not to by our guide.
The following morning that was it for Jordan. I did think of going to the coast for a day but was advised by several who had been not to bother. Overall it had been a great country to visit.
The following clip was taken driving back.............
