Wadi Rum is red sand, sandstone mountains and silence. Films use it to stand in for Mars. I stayed in a Bedouin camp in the middle of it. Camps here cook zarb, a feast buried in hot sand, and the night sky is one of the darkest anywhere.
Nights like that are where the question ‘what is a better life?’ stops being abstract.
Don't miss
- A night at a Bedouin camp
- Sunset from the rocks
- The night sky
