Nope, not a brand of alcoholic beverage, especially in a strict Muslim country. Wadi Rum is a place in the desert, that in Arabic, translates to a vlley iof high places or a valley of sand. It's also known as the valley of the moon. You might recognize it a a location for movies: Lawrence of Arabia, Indian Jones and the Last Crusade, Aladdin and Dune.

We piled into a caravan of 4×4's to get to our quite luxurious desert camp for a one night stay. Dinner was cooked underground – lamb, chicken and veggies buried in a vault covered by sand and heated underneath by coals from a wood fire. I was still not feeling well from my Little Petra experience, but I made sure I tasted a bite of both delicious meats.

There was an optional sunrise tour by camel that we passed on, having done it in Morocco, but Mack and Rika's photos were amazing. 32f24cc6-89e1-48c9-8530-4cad8ee2d84e
