"The desert of deserts" Wadi Rum by flynboxes

Wadi Rum Travel Guide: 239 reviews and 562 photos

Ended up here almost by accident. Was at the ferry terminal in Aqaba and ended up with some extra time or the better part of a day and made a deal with my cab driver to take me over here for a couple extra bucks. They say if you visit you should spend a night or two. I've camped in the California desert so I passed this time but if I ever go back I may head into it a bit for the night. There is a great visitors center with the history of the place etc. Sorry I don't have any good pics. VT won't allow me to upload video clips that I took with my camera. Did that to capture the vastness and the sounds of the desert.

My first camel ride
