Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Without doubt, Wadi Rum is one of the most beautiful deserts Ive ever seen in my life. The landscapes are so other-worldly, that many movies that occur on Mars of the moon have been filmed there. Ond Day 7 of our trip to Jordan, we drove from Petra to Wadi Rum. We arrived just in time for lunch at Captain's Bedouin Desert Camp. It was a very rare cloudy and rainy day, and so we got some rain, and finally when it cleared we went on a desert safari in the back of a truck. The views were spectacular. 00: 58 Drive from Petra to Wadi Rum - At the beginning of the day, we had breakfast at Movenpick and then started the drive, which only took a couple hours, to Wadi Rum. Along the way we stopped at a few rest stops to get some Arabic coffee, something I couldnt resist. 2: 04 Arriving to Wadi Rum - We arrived to Wadi Rum just in time for lunch and the first thing we did was check into Captain's Desert Camp, which is the Bedouin camp we stayed at for the night. As soon as we arrived we had lunch, and they served us a full spread of food including labneh and moutabel. The labneh in particular was very good. For our main dishes we had galayet with beef, a beef tomato stew, and also a dish called mfarakeh, which was scrambled eggs with potatoes. Lunch at Wadi Rum was delicious and after lunch, due to the rain, we took a short rest before heading out. 07: 15 Wadi Rum tour - We hopped into the back of a truck, and started our Wadi Rum desert tour. The weather wasnt the best, it was still kind of rainy, but at the same time that kind of added to make it a bit of an eerie environment. The view of Wadi Rum were spectacular, it truly is a unique and incredible desert to see in the world. We drove around and stopped at a number of different locations around the desert, taking in the scenery. After a two hour safari around Wadi Rum we returned to the camp. 11: 15 Zarb Bedouin barbecue for dinner - For dinner we ate a dish called zarb, which is Bedouin style barbecue. Similar to other cultures, zarb is a variety of meat of vegetables that are cooked in an underground oven over charcoal. They first added a bed of hot coals to the underground oven, spread them out, then added in a shelf full of meat and vegetables. They covered it with a bunch of layers, and finally topped the oven with sand to keep in all the heat. It took about two hours to cook, and we came back for dinner to find soft and tender lamb, rice, and a variety of vegetables cooked in the zarb, that were all incredibly tender. Dinner in Wadi Rum was delicious, and I had some serious amounts of lamb my Amman, Jordan Travel Guide: (Including where to stay, what to see, safety information, and extra tips)

Wadi Rum is indeed gorgeous. But it's no more astounding than a half-dozen desert areas that are in the American Southwest. Monument Valley, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Dead Horse Point State Park, Zion National Park, and more. All are as gorgeous as Wadi Rum, or in some cases, even more incredible. Wadi Rum is just one of those trending elitist spots that people go to, when they want to be able to brag to their friends about some exotic places they visited. Newsflash: just because it's super expensive and difficult to get to a location, doesn't automatically make it more beautiful. Go visit Monument Valley right after a snowstorm, and then come back here and tell me Wadi Rum is prettier. Go see the pics on Google Images.

The western satanic Zionist media trying to demonize Muslims by brainwashing their people in order to fulfill their anti christ agenda. This is the true picture of muslims, generosity, hospitality and warm heart. If you still unconvinced, come visits the arabic countries and see by yourself. The terrorists are not true muslims nor represents Islam, they are bunch of brainwashed people trained at CIA, Here in Iraq we fought many terrorist organizations like Al Qaieda and ISIS, so tell me who is the terrorists, we or them?

Middle Eastern food is one of the best. I worked in the Middle east during the late 90's, and food was an absolute experience you will never miss. What you are eating is what I always crave for. Nice one Mark. By the way, now I can mimic your delicious facial expression

I really enjoy your video's however, I am very concerned about you taking your wife and baby to dangerous places. I recently saw your video where you took your wife and baby into Pakistan, one of the most dangerous places in the world. I'm not going to watch any more.
