<\/p>\n

Wadi Rum<\/strong> is the valley near the border with Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the visit to the valley I joined tourist attractions. The train ride re-creates the Arab Revolution of 1916.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It shows the Ottomans attacking the Hijazi train.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The train takes us thru the valley and near a small town.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The desert of Wadi Rum was truly beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was no other sound but the wind.<\/p>\n

\"\" \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Along the road I was able to see multiple Bedouin settlements. The nomadic lifestyle must be so hard but at the same time they really live freely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wadi Musa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is the region were Petra es located. The cities were built in rocky hills.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

People do their best to bring vegetation to their homes. The cities have a brown and grey palette of color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mosques are found everywhere. At certain times during the day\u00a0 the a speaker will start transmitting prayers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Something very interesting that I learned is that many Mosques paint their dome green because they believed that in heaven people wear green.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The food was delicious.\u00a0 My first day I ordered camel meat with bread. To be honest I was not sure what came with the meat, but I really liked it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had many vegetarian dinners. Loved how they prepared the eggplants.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kofta bi tahini is another casserole dish but this one had lamb at the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For dessert, Knafeh most of the time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some places were a bit more elevated than others. But always a nice experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was not able to find out if the mummified animal was a dog or a fox.<\/p>\n
