Arabian Days

We spent four days in the Wadi Rum desert in southern Jordan near the Saudi border.  That gave us plenty of time for some adventures . . .

Sara gazing out over Saudi Arabia (the mountains in the distance) on a hike in Wadi Rum

Riding camels with the Bedouin!

And some time for relaxing . . .

We loved "Bedouin whiskey" (i.e., sweet Bedouin tea) and drank at least ten cups a day!
