Wadi Rum

Met our new tour leader Rabbi and we drove to Wadi Rum. The largest nature reserve in Jordan. Had a jeep ride through the desert, which was heaps of fun, especially when he tried to overtake the other two jeeps. Stopped at a Bedouin tent and had some local tea which tasted really nice. Then had a short camel ride around the area.
We then headed to Petra. On the way we saw lots of shepherds with their herds of goats. Arrived in Petra in time for sunset.
