Wadi Rum Travel Blogs

We had to say goodbye to Alessandro last night. He was picked up at 6 in the morning and brought back to Rum village, from where he could take a but to Amman in order to catch his flight back home tonight. I was sad to see him leave. Despite his limited English we had had such an incredible amount …

Talk about fun!  Cathy and I left Aqaba in the morning by taxi and were driven through the hills of southern Jordan into the desert known as Wadi Rum.  Wadi means desert, what the Rum alludes to I can only guess.  Anyway, our destination was the Wadi Rum village, where we would be me…

During Christmas and NYE I spend my time in Jordan. It was my first time there and I loved it and didn't want to leave. I took about 500 pictures, but I wont show them all haha. I'll wright my journal later, first it's time to show some pictures!!

The final day.  We woke up feeling a bit caught up with sleep, but still suffering from a lack of motivation.  One very full day remained – my flight departed at 1:40AM and Mark’s at 3:15AM – but we had been thoroughly overwhelmed by getting to know Jordan and somewhat anxious …

On the second trip to Jordan, we headed back to Petra.  Mario had arranged a second taxi  (driven by a friend of his) to take all of us out for a few days.  So armed with backpacks and what nots, we piled into the two taxies for a very long drive on another very hot day.&nb…

From Amsterdam to Amman and by bus to the south to Aqaba. Back my national plain from Aqaba to Amman and a flight to Amsterdam. Most beautifull sights are for me Wadi Rum desert and Petra. Stunning ! (in Progress!)

This was my favorite segment of the trip, and I'm glad I made the decision to change it to an overnight stay. In hindsight, I would've wanted to stay at least another day. Wadi Rum is a protected desert area, and the landscape is scattered with amazing rock formations. The colors shift with the lig…

Yesterday we crossed into Jordan. While the day was painfully slow (waiting for immigration and the ferry across the Gulf of Aqaba), it does feel amazing to now be in a place with such history, in the Arabian peninsular, the very cradle of civilisation. Jordan saw the rise and fall of all the…

After Petra the dessert. area Wadi Rum is probably the main tourist attraction of Jordan. With a good reason it is a unique landscape. Like so many other places in this area it also got a link to Lawrence of Arabia who actually named his memories after one of the many rock formations in the are…

People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Julia (Russia), Chris (Canada)Finally we made it to Wadi Rum after our transport troubles, and it had all left me feeling rather exhausted, so we checked into our accommodation - which was a tent for 6JD ($8.50) a night - and had a refresh…

Los medicamentos tomados a la noche me hicieron el efecto esperado y el incipiente constipado en forma de congestión se vio reducido a unos pocos estornudos y algo de tos seca. A pesar de mi mejoría no me levanté con el mejor de los ánimos, quizá porque estaba decepcionado de no ver Jerusalén…

Leaving Wadi Musa to Aqaba by minibus that supposed to be departed early in the morning. The hostel said they have only early morning bus and the next one will be at 3pm. Normal trail usually from Wadi Musa, travelers are heading to Wadi Rum. The temperature was boiling hot. I would probably get a …
