My Name is Sultan Salem and i want to welcome you in my site to add a new look
for touring in the desert, where you can get tips about camping, preparing, and surviving in the desert.
I hope you all find it useful.
One of the inspiring things to do while visiting Jordan is to spend a day or three out in the desert in Wadi Rum. Basically, it is a conglomeration of various desert escapes that are elevated even more so during sunrise and sunset. It was so awe inspiring that Lawrence of Arabia was partially filmed here. I guess that also relates to the fact that Mr. Lawrence also walked through the place and had a spring and his house named after him.
Wadi Rum in the south of Jordan is a government protected area that covers over 700 square kilometers of stunning desert landscape. Its sandstone and granite peaks soar to heights of over 1700 meters
The great archaeologist and desert traveler T E Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) said of Wadi Rum in his book the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, “Its crimson sunset on its stupendous cliffs and slanted ladders of hazy fire down its walled avenue…”
There is so much for the visitor to see and do in the area: Jeep, camel and horse are popular ways to investigate the desert landscape or wonder at the Nabatean rock art. For the more energetic visitor there are a number of hiking trails to explore and you can camp overnight in a Bedouin encampment.
It is strongly recommended that for any trip into the desert a visitor should take, plenty of water, a good supply of sun block and a hat. A Bedouin guide should also be hired.
