We love Jordon already. The best way to describe it is: similar to Egypt, but things work and it’s much cleaner. It’s an easy 90 minute drive from Aquaba to Wadi Rum, a beautiful desert where the sands have carved intricate patterns into the sandstone mountains over the millennia. Apart from tourists and a few of the local Bedouin tribes the place is exactly the same as the empty wilderness portrayed in the epic Lawrence of Arabia filmed back in the 60’s. To add a bit f middle eastern flair to the day our jeep breaks down in the middle of the desert ..... but we’re quickly rescued and on way up to the village of Petra where tomorrow we will visit one of the 7 ancient wonders of the world.
