Wadi Rum is an area of desolate beauty, rocks pointing to the sky, natural rock bridges: a dry, barren landscape. At night, the absence of lights turns the sky into a marvellous ceiling of stars.
The desert is mainly a rocky one. There are sanddunes, but only sporadically, as a decoration of the otherwise grey plains. The wind makes sure that these dunes travel, that their pattern of little waves is maintained and constantly redrawn. We could only imagine how hot it can be in these desolate places, but during our visit the climate was perfect. We stopped at two bridges, strangely carved out by nature, and safe enough to walk over. Later in the afternoon, we saw rock drawings depicting human presence in this desert. Apparently, formerly traders travelled through this desert on the way from the Middle East to the Red Sea.
