Wadi Rum

We went for a drive through the Wadi Rum desert in the back of a pickup truck.

The desert has a lot of cool rocks.

image

It also has sand, but not enough to run down without worrying about hurting yourself.

image

Some of the rocks have art on them.

image

There were lions and camels and oryx and ostriches.

image

My favourite ostrich is in the second row on the left because you can see his feather duster tail.

image

There is also a man on horseback hunting with a spear, but that looks newer.

image

The rocks had really weird textures.

image

Overall they looked very lumpy.

image

There had just been a lot of rain, so there were tiny little sprouts starting to grow out of the sand.

After the ride we spent the night in these tents. We went for a walk in the desert after the sun set and watched the shooting stars. Then we had to go huddle by the fire because we got cold.
