Day 6
Alla scoperta del deserto
May 27 in Jordan
1
Non servono parole..bastano le immagini. Il deserto del Wadi Rum ci ha riservato panorami mozzafiato, colori unici, alternanza di sabbia finissima e roccia, nonostante il tempo non fosse il massimo...non c'era sole ma solo tanto vento...e poi perfino un po' di pioggia...
Ora ci aspetta la sera e la notte nel campo tendato...sperando in un miglioramento del tempo.. riusciremo a vedere le stelle...?Read more

Traveler Spero tanto che possiate vedere le stelle perché dovrebbe essere uno spettacolo indimenticabile. Fai delle foto....

Day 5
Wadi Rum
November 25, 2021 in Jordan ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Wadi Rum is the largest wadi in Jordan. Today it is a protected area. It is an extraordinary example of the desert environment in this part of the world.
For those who aren't familiar with the word or whose understanding is hazy, wadi is the Arabic word for a valley. It is sometimes, but not always, associated with valleys that have flowing water only during storm runoff events.
This wadi is sometimes called the Valley of the Moon for it's surprising landscape. It is possible some of these pictures might look familiar as Wadi Rum has been the setting for many movies, among them: Lawrence of Arabia and, more recently, The Martian.
The 1st 4 pictures are various viewss showing the extraordinary stark beauty of the place.
The 5th picture is of a natural formation that looks a bit like a sphinx. It is not carved. Natural erosive processes created it.
The last picture is of a small part of the petroglyphs on a rock wall or cliff in the wadi. These are thousands of years old.Read more

Day 4
Desert camp, Wadi Rum
November 24, 2021 in Jordan ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
No, this isn't a rustic camp. Glamping might not even capture it. It is in the desert of Wadi Rum (see another post), and it is very comfortable.
The 1st picture looks along a small part if the facilities with 2 rows of cabins located each side of a central way. It was taken before dawn as light was just starting to come up.
The 2nd picture is of the camp chef removing dinner from a fire pit buried in the sand for hours. The lamb and chicken cooked in this traditional Bedouin way was delicious.
The 3rd picture is in the main hospitality tent building used for meals and after dinner entertainment.
The last 2 pictures are of sunrise over the desert at the camp.Read more

Day 3
Wadi Rum
May 19 in Jordan ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Arrivati al Visitor Center ci recupera un ragazzo del nostro camp, il Traditions of Wadi Rum e con un breve tragitto in jeep arriviamo al campo. Poche tende e posizione vicino alle montagne, le tende sono semplici ma confortevoli, c'è pure l'aria condizionata!
Il tempo di rinfrescarci un attimo e si parte per un giro in cammello a vedere il tramonto, tante risate e la mente meravigliosamente vuota, un sogno...
Tornati al campo dopo una doccia veloce gustiamo un'ottima cena beduina, cucinata come da tradizione sotto la sabbia.Read more

Day 3
Desert 4WD ride
October 7, 2018 in Jordan ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
We arrive at the Wadi Rum camp where we are staying for the night, drop our bags, and immediately go on a two hour jeep tour of the Wadi Rum desert and canyons. We have a few stops, one for some Bedouin tea. Further on we see some ancient carvings of camels on the rock's.

We then visit ‘The Valley of the Moon’, this is the place where Prince Faisal Bin Hussein and T.E. Lawrence based their headquarters during the Arab Revolt against the Ottomans in World War I, their exploits intrinsically woven into the history of this amazing area. So much so the local Bedouin carved both there faces into a rock, and inscribed there names in Arabic. Further on we stop on a high promontory to watch an amazing sunset over the desert.Read more

Day 3
Wadi Rum camp
October 7, 2018 in Jordan ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
We get back to the camp, where we are joined by a couple of other tour groups, mostly Dutch and French. We have a buffet style meal of local food, not entirely sure what it all was but still had it, topped off with a traditional roast of chicken and lamb, that was cooked in the sand. Afterwards we have some local music, and even join in with some dancing, some weird shapes on the dance floor.

Afterwards we retire to our beds, more tented rooms than actual tents. The end of a very long day.Read more

Day 6
Wadi Rum Desert
November 22, 2018 in Jordan ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
We start walking towards the red desert, when we find some bedouin jeeps awaiting us. We are split into groups of five or six and we jump on the rear section of these desert vehicles. After a few minutes we start driving through the desert passing by rocks, dunes and impressive mountains. The ride is truly exciting and the scenery simply fantastic.
Our first stop is at the feet of an immense sand dune: climbing all the way to the top is a way harder job than we expected, but the reward is worth the effort: from the summit we can enjoy a fantastic view of the Wadi Rum desert. No wonder that this is one of the most requested film sets...

After a photo stop, we proceed to a special place at the feet of a mountain, where we can admire some beautifully engraved rocks. We only have a few minutes before getting back on our jeeps to continue this amazing safari.
We drive on towards another rocky mountain, at the feet of which a herd of dromedaries boringly look at us. 🐪🐪🐪 We have a ride planned for later, but apparently these aren't our camels as we soon have to go back to our vehicles and start driving in a new direction.

During one of the following stops, some bedouins show us how to produce the "desert soap": they take a special crop, break it into small pieces and then our some water on it. Incredible but true, as soon as the water touches this mush of grass, a strange foam is suddenly produced! 😲

Once we have got back on our jeeps, we drive for a few more kilometers in the desert until we are asked to get off and proceed on foot: it's time to reach the bedouin camp! 🏜🏕Read more
