These images were taken in Wadi Rum during a 4-day weekend trip we took to Jordan.  During this trip we also visited Amman, The Dead Sea, and Petra, but honestly my favorite place was Wadi Rum, which surprised me as I was most excited before leaving to see Petra and the Dead Sea.  Pictures unfortunately just can not capture how amazing this place is and its something that can really only be fully apricated in person.  After visiting I can see why movies like The Martian, Prometheus, and Lawrence of Arabia were all filmed here.  Finally if you visit I highly recommend spending the night in one of the overnight options.  We did the Bedouin camp option and loved it.  A very unique and amazing experience for the whole family and the stars at night when the sky is clear are breathtaking.
