The first stop on our tour of Jordan was a night of camping glamping in Wadi Rum. The weather was rainy and chilly in Amman, but once we hit the road and headed south, we saw the sunshine. We arrived mid-day and began exploring. After a great Jordanian cuisine lunch, we took a sunset jeep (really back of a Hilux pickup truck) tour, that took us throughout the surrounding desert.
The desert is vast and wide and the colors are incredible with the red sand and blue skies. Some of our stops included where the movie the Martian was filmed, where Lawrence of Arabia wandered and stayed in the desert, and a major stop on the old Silk Trade route.

We saw a lot of camels on this trip!
It was a cloudy day, but the sunset was still beautiful!

It was such a fun time with my family at Wadi Rum...next stop, Petra!

Wadi Rum was was one of our best camping experiences - We are now big fans of glamping. Amazing history and scenery and SO much fun with our boys. So many wonderful memories. Love you all 4 :)
In addition to an amazing week, it was so special for our family to be all together during this week - Especially since it was over Thanksgiving. Art and I have a lot to be thankful for. It was such fun to be with all our boys both big and little :)
Some really beautiful and fascinating places. It was so great that all seven of you could enjoy it together. Thanks for sharing. Love, Dad and Mom P.
