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.
From the Red Sea in Aqaba, it is just an hour's drive to the desert of Wadi Rum. Immediately after leaving the Desert Highway, the first jebels or mountains appear from the plains, towering above the rocky and sandy desert. After a while, our driver took a left turn, into the desert proper, away from the asphalt road. Sometimes in an effort to show off, he raced up sanddunes, drove through wadis, and stopped at points of special interest. A lunch in the middle of the desert, in complete silence and isolation, an ugly fight of words broke out in our group, which fortunately stopped before it went out of control.
