    When going on a desert safari in Wadi Rum you will/should have the opprtunity to ride through the desert on camel.

    There is a reason why Petra is considered one of the most beautiful place on earth. You get from the buzz of the town, into the canyons, and end up facing this beauty… You can hear every single person arriving whispering a “wow”, quite magical… Petra – 2012
