18/41Wadi Rum - Aqaba, Jordan
One of the most incredible experiences an adventurer can have, a trip to Wadi Rum will leave you a desert snob. Rocky siq, blood-red canyons rise unsteadily from reddish-orange dust. Local Bedouins entreat you to take mint tea with them, you might discover the wadi's ancient petroglyphs, and racing across the plain at the front of a rickety 4WD or glamping under the stars will make you feel truly alive.
