So, after an amazing day in the rose-red ancient city of Petra, the Thunderbird gang drove to the desert of Wadi Rum – home to the cinematographic masterpiece of “Lawrence of Arabia.” Although, I must admit, that I am far more of a sea-lover than a desert fan, the natural beauty of the sandstone mountains rising majestically from the red sands of the desert make this place a beautiful sight. I heard that the sunsets, sunrises and starry nights are breathtaking – oh well, an excuse to come back!
We rode jeeps over the dunes for a couple hours stopping occasionally to take pictures, have tea with indigenous Bedouin tribes, and hike up the steep dunes (holy crap, what a glute workout)!!! We also saw from petroglyphs depicting hunting scenes from the BCs! Pretty cool stuff.
Check out the pictures below… (shoutout to Meike for the group shots ) :)
