Wadi Rum, Jordan. May 2011 *because you asked for more pics ;)
This photo was taken inside one of the family homes where we ate dinner one night, at ‘Rum village. I slept every night out in the desert, but during the day got to hang out with the Bedouin families, and share meals. Everyone was very hospitable, and it was a really cool experience.
They look so happy :) thank you for the photos. If you have more, feel free to submit. I enjoy reading the stories. I’ve always wanted to stay with a Bedouin family. Seems like an enjoyable experience.

Wadi Rum, Jordan. May 2011.
While it is tempting to just post photos of the beautiful landscape of Wadi Rum, it really was the people, in particular this hilarious guy on the right, that i will remember most. I asked him to show my friend how he tied his scarf around his head, and so, he demonstrated in exchange for us letting him wear her sunglasses. hahaha.

Wadi Rum Desert, Jordan
I “couchsurfed” last May for 4 nights in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum Jordan. There was no electricity, running water, cell phones or internet. A pretty incredible 4 days, let me tell you…
I’d love to see more photos of that experience!

Mysterious Sights: Middle East Desert Floor Drawings
The secrets of these stone structures are only now being unraveled, probably because it is nearly impossible to get the entire picture at ground level. But with views from airplanes and satellites, archaeologists have discovered thousands of these “floor drawings” of stones in Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The wheels measure from 82 feet to 230 feet across and could be at least 2,000 years old; other stone structures are far older. What were they used for? Did they carry special meaning? That is still secret.
