After so many days
seeing ruins and touristic sites in cities, Wadi Rum was my perfect nature
fix. Despite the heat and
dryness in this desert reserve, I had a ton of fun here. The scenery here reminded me of the Grand Canyon. Everywhere is cover with
yellowish and reddish sand and rocks. The size of the mountain in the desert was magnificent. And the different type of composition and shape of
the rocks are just impressive. I definitely regretted not to bring my climbing shoes with me with
so many great bouldering surrounded me. We joined a 5 hours jeep tour with this camp and saw sand dunes,
canyon, and dozens of weirdly shaped rocks. What makes this tour even more fun was the kids (Miran and Marsha)
of a German family who were on the tour with us. We were climbing up a steep hill and stone
bridge to see a panoramic view of the desert, climbing and running down the
sand dune and rock climbing up walls in the desert.
What’s better than the
sky in the desert to see sun set and stars? The sky seems endless in the desert. It looks like there are millions of stars in the
sky in the desert. Shooting star seems to
be less shy to make their appearance in the sky of a desert. The stars are so much brighter and twinkle more
actively. With the sound of wind
or perhaps the sound of the desert, it is the most soothing feeling. It is a memorable day that I will not forget.
