Sleeping in a Cave in the Desert

From Wadi Rum, Jordan
Monday, May 19, 2008
After Petra, the Spanish girl, American guy & I kept heading south to Wadi Rum. Unfortunately you can only enter the area with a local Bedouin guide on an expensive package trip. It was the most I'd spent in a single day on this trip... but it was something not to be missed. When we got there we were dressed in traditional headscarves & each got on a camel for a 2hr ride to the cave where we spent the night. camel, the Spanish girl, American guy, me (!) & camel #2 From our cave we trekked up & down dark red sand dunes, climbed around large mountains & even saw pack of wild camel crossing thru the desert. Late in the afternoon we took a jeep further into the desert for some serious off-roading. That night the Bedouin family cooked us a traditional barbeque in their sand pit oven. Again, expensive, but really nice. Tags: Jordan
