After our first proper day exploring the ancient lost Kingdom of Petra in Jordan (also see our second post here from when we visited the ancient Monastery in Petra), we decided to spend the next day exploring even more of Jordan by venturing up north towards the Dead Sea. Except, instead of just heading straight … Continue Reading
On our second day in Wadi Rum, after our little taster with the sunset rides and star gazing the night before, we finally got to head out and explore the breadth and depth of Wadi Rum properly. To say we were excited would be something of an understatement. We got up bright and early, wolfed … Continue Reading
