Wait, which Feist book is that? I think I’ve read most of them. Can’t say I remember a lot of the details though, LOL.
Bit scary how easily those petroglyphs could be vandalized.
Just how many marriage proposals did you receive then, Aleah? Looks like a magical place to visit. Hope to get there one day.
Aww, that’s a secret, Matthew. 😛 Definitely make it a point to go to Jordan. You won’t forget the experience!
I’ve always wanted to go to Wadi Rum, but haven’t made the trek yet. Really appreciate you laying it all down – what to expect, how to get there, etc… It seems like the perfect day trip.
Spend more than a day when you’re there, Jodi. The desert sky is marvelous at night!
I loved following you on this trip… beautiful photos and the fun energy of the local people really shines through them. Great work Aleah!
Thank you, Penny. I can’t believe my trip to Jordan was over. It went by so quickly!
So beautiful and amazing! I’ve been longing to go here…
You would really enjoy it! Hope you get to visit Jordan someday. It’s very much worth it!
Awesome photos of Wadi Rum! I have to agree, the best way to experience landscapes like this are to just sit back and gaze out at the endless landscape! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for dropping by, Ben. My pictures don’t do justice to the beauty of Wadi Rum, but thanks anyway for appreciating them. 😀
The closest we’ve got to a desert on Gran Canaria are the dunes at Maspalomas. Which include grains of sand blown over from the Sahara. But we’d love to follow in your footsteps in Jordan.
You would love Wadi Rum, I’m sure. The desert has its charms, and Wadi Rum has plenty of it.
What an incredible experience! I’ve always dreamed of sleeping under the stars in the desert. And your camel is really cute. Gorgeous landscapes!
Wadi Rum is really gorgeous, Dana! Do visit Jordan someday!
Ahaha you are so cute, aleah. I cant help but laugh while reading the part when you were being pushed on your butt to your camel..lol.. I love your photos. The only sand dune experience I had was in Mui ne Vt and I would definitely checkout that dessert near Beijing. My China trip is almost near na haha.. Btw, you are a great story teller! Keep writing!
That was indeed a scary/exciting moment. The camel is so high up, can you imagine me dangling? Naughty, naughty Rams! Do check out Tianmo near Beijing. It’s not a big sand dune but it looks pretty cool.
Aleah – this is incredible, love the way you capture Wadi Rum. Another sunset in Wadi Rum is due indeed!
Thanks, Jess. I will always remember our time there.
OOOH. I so need to go. What an extraordinary place – and your photos? They bring it home to us.
Wadi Rum is really extraordinary, Jessie. Do find time to visit Jordan!
It looks magical. 🙂 I can see why you wrote about it this way.
Claire, my words and photos do not do justice to it!
Incredible experience!!
Yes, it was. Thanks!
Mesmerizing and fascinating experience indeed… Can not wait for the next post !!!
Did you try… camel’s milk? hehe…
Thanks, Albert. No, we didn’t try camel’s milk. I’m sure you know why. 😉
Sounds wonderful. Great captures too.
Thank you, Niranjan.
You caught the atmosphere of the desert so well, Aleah. I once lived in the desert for 10 years and was always amazed at stillness, the harshness and especially the sunsets.
I’m glad you also like the sunsets in the desert, Dave. It was just unbelievably beautiful to me. I didn’t know you lived in the desert. Where? Would love to read your account of it!
Amazing photos! Too bad our paths did not cross while we were both in Jordan! Love Jordan!
@Cacinda: I hope I get a chance to visit Jordan again. There’s so much beauty there!
Oh my what should I say? This is one of those epic trips that we can only hope to take. It must land near the top of your best or more exotic trips.
It is definitely my best trip so far. It’s difficult to imagine anything else topping it, unless I get enough cash to go to Antarctica 😀
