Bedouin Guest Tent Camp, Wadi Rum, Jordan

Halfway up a rocky bluff that loomed above our campsite, this is a shot of the neighboring guest camp in Wadi Rum. Tucked between an intriguing Sci-Fi rockface backdrop and giant red sand dunes, this tent based guest camp seemed quite lively compared to the quiet nature of ours. I think a good sized European tour group was booked there for a few nights.

Our camp on the otherhand was relatively quiet. There were only 8 people in our site -- a camp that could accomodate about 250 people! I didn't mind. A few of us sat about talking late into the night after a delicious Syrian dinner of stewed chicken & potatoes and several salads -- both fruit and vegetable. The sky was a dark violet hue and just as the call for lights out occurred, the wind picked up and quickly whipped dust into the air -- extinguishing my hopes for sleeping out under a million bright stars...
