Welcome to Wadi Rum

It was a fairly short drive from Petra to Wadi Rum.  We got there in mid afternoon.  We traveled by pickups run by the Bedouins to see views of the valley.   The tour ended at dusk with a traditional Bedouin dinner in a tent and where the food was cooked in the ground.  Quite the experience.
