The discovery of the desert was enchanting. You have to live it, because it is difficult to describe this wonder. The mountains or "Djebel" are immense. The walls are jagged, or smooth (witness a collapse). In this place, we feel a great tranquility and during stops in the middle of the desert, we have the impression of being alone in the world, as the 1st video shows. Look at it, without being afraid to turn the sound up, and listen to "the silence of Wadi Rum". I understand why, freshly arrived from England, Thomas Edward Lawrence, known as "Lawrence of Arabia" adored this desert.
The red sand of the dunes, the mountains where you look for natural patterns in these laces. On one of the photos, we have the impression of seeing a bird with the play of shadows. You have to go there to really see it. The 2nd video gives more rendering to the landscapes that pass in front of you.

This visit is punctuated by stops in Tuareg (tourist) camps with the traditional tea offered each time. A continually repeated adage "More tea, More pee".

Wadi Rum is a valley (a wadi or wadi) dug by the erosion of an endorheic watercourse in the rocks of sandstone and granite. It is an arid and colorful setting. Gigantic stone stairs take shape and soar towards the sky. The main sites are: The Nabataean Temple, Lawrence's Spring, Khazali Canyon, Burdah Rock Bridge, Um Frouth Rock Bridge, Burrah Canyon, Sunset Sites and The Seven Pillars of Wisdom (title of a book by Laurence of Arabia) .
This place has been used for many film shoots including Laurence of Arabia, Red Planet, Transformers 2 (featuring Egypt) and Prometheus (featuring the planet of the Aliens).
It is also a place for climbing, trekking, camel or horseback riding.
