4x4-ing in the desert to Bedoin tents

We went to Little Petra, a site close to where we were yesterday, and saw more tombs and temples. Then we drove to a Bedoin site for lunch and rode in the back of 4 x 4 trucks in the desert, for four hours. We stopped at a Bedoin tent where we learned about their marriage, saw the sunset while we drank tea made over a fire from the sticks we had gathered in the desert, and saw amazing expanses of sand and mountains erupting in colours and textures similar to Arches National Park. We ate dinner at a Bedoin camp: salads, vegetables and a combo of rice, chicken, goat and carrots, cooked underground for a few hours. It was a full moon, which was bright and illuminated the desert but meant we could not see many stars though we were fortunate to see one shooting star very clearly.Lue lisää
