Aqaba. Only twenty miles from Saudi Arabia, a bustling port town in the South of Jordan. The ferry arrived at sunset. Getting in to Jordan was a piece of cake compared to the tedious Egyptian process. Buy insurance here, get a stamp on the carnet there, free Visa for a month and …Khalas. Jella Jella (go!go!). Welcome to Jordan.
I spent the night in a disgusting room; it was like sleeping in an ashtray. The next morning I had an early start to Wadi Rum. This extended area is one of the most beautiful wadis in Jordan. It is an endless sand desert dotted with splendid mountains, valleys and rockbridges. My guide (he couldn’t have been older that 14 or 15) took me around in a distant LandCruiser that would die over and over again, but somehow we drove around for six hours in this magnificent place. I stayed overnight in a Bedu camp, enjoying the spectacular sunset and diamond star sky.
Just enjoy the pictures and don’t miss this place if youever make it to Jordan.
