Bedouins living in the Vadi Ram Rama valley have the main income from tourists, so they contain souvenir shops, cafes and even the semblance of hotels in Bedouin tents. Perhaps someone will like such exotic in the style of Lawrence Arabian, and someone in the car will spend calmer in the car. Wadi Ram - the traditional place to visit tourists, so here every year there are places for overnight stay with an acceptable level of comfort, but the placement is all in the same tents. Camp "Bedouin Traditions Camp", for example, looks simple as a long barak with two rows of acousts with blankets and pillows along the walls, decorated, though very beautiful. Local Bedouins in the evenings can be tastefully tasted - a dish, similar to the Central Asian pilaf, but made in a pit, covered with sand and hot coal.
The entrance (or entry) on the territory of the reserve for one day costs 5 dinars (approximately 450 rubles in 2016), but, entering on its car, you need to register - perhaps for the night and the second day will have to pay extra. Of the additional expenses there may be a purchase of souvenirs, a traditional Bedouin dinner, and, for the sake of exotic, a trip to camels. We do not recommend going around the camels on the camels - without habit, this is a very tedious occupation.
By living the valley by car on their own, it is better to adhere to the recommended routes - they usually warn about it. Organized excursions are usually passing four or five places, offered to take pictures, buy souvenirs and stacked with an expensive in six to seven hours. Free excursions On taxi or independently not limited. A set of souvenirs for Jordan is quite standard, the only thing that can be mentioned is the bas-reliefs of Lawrence Arabian and, if lucky, sleeves from the British rifles of the Arab uprising times.
The history of local places is not too rich in events. Wadi Ram is close to the border with Saudi Arabia, in desert and small places. Through Wadi Ram with its water sources, caravans from Palestine and Syria in Arabia were followed from time immemorial. Bedouins here are the same way of life as thousands of years ago. Neither the desert, nor housing, no kitchen. Only cars, televisions and tourists were added. There is still the only one in Jordan railway. It connects industrial areas with the port of Aqaba, and for passenger traffic not used.
With Wadi Rama, the name of the famous British scout, philologist and ethnographer Thomas Edward Lawrence (Arabian) also associate. In the deserts of Eastern Jordan, the troops of the Arab Liberation Army were based during the Arabian uprising of 1916-1918. Lawrence Arabian was an adviser at the commander of the army of Prince Faisala, who fought against the Turks. Lawrence mentioned this place in his book "Seven Students of Wisdom", described his magnificence. In the valley there is really a rock with the seven sites "Seven Pillars", but the book is named after the rock, or the rock in honor of the book is difficult to say.
In Wadi Ram, there are the highest - up to 1830 meters of Mount Jordan. On the official poster at the entrance to Wadi Rama for an open inspection, 19 seats are named. This includes the source and the house of Lawrence, two viewing platformswhere it is convenient to celebrate sunrise, rock bridges - Bridges Jebel, Burda and small, "seven pillars of wisdom", Nabatean pillar, dunes, rocks with scoop drawings. Bedouin tents are grouped near these places, where they feed, pour tea and sell souvenirs.
The main impression is made not some specific objects, but the overall greatness, beauty and silence of these places. On the way the color of the cliffs changes - from black to gentle pink, rocks of gray hole sandstone are replaced by black and green basalt outlets covered with ripples. The landscape is such that it has nothing to compare, because associations with other planets come to the mind. No wonder here were filmed a few fantastic films. Indeed, it is enough to go after the rock and are, as if on another planet, in full solitude and silence, which very soon become frightening.
But, watching the sunset and sunrise, you experience a fantastic delight and you begin to understand Bedouins who do not want to change their lifestyle for anything in the world and do not even believe that somewhere can live differently. Most best time To visit Wadi Ram - Spring, when everything flourishes. The desert is covered with poppies, anemons and black iris - national flowers of Jordan. Regarding the creast inscriptions, it is believed that they are left for about two thousand years ago and, judging by the fact that archaeologists do not work here, they do not carry special scientific discoveries.
Separately, it is possible to mention two more exotic classes. This climbing and flights on balloons. Climbing routes in Wadi Rama are a bit, but those that are, very popular among European and Israeli climbers. Here, very unusual geology - mountains consist of a dense craneted sandstone, which slides little, so less dangerous for climbing. Also, when climbing, frequent lumens in the rocks are very helpful. Developed and equipped several 300 - 500 - meter routes of varying degrees of complexity - from the minimum to 5b. IN tourist stores Can be found full description Mountaine routes in English.
Flights in balloons are arranged in the spring - from April to May and in the fall - from September to December, be sure to early in the morning - it is probably due to the movement of air flows. For such a flight, it will be necessary to swell in Wadi Ram.
Leaving on a tour, except for a standard traveler set - water, dry laces, glasses, a camera, special attention should be paid to shoes. Moving along the valley, it is necessary to descend and climb the sand slopes, so the shoes are needed with a thick sole, well-fitting leg. Then the legs will be less viscous in the sand and sand will not burn the feet. Some lovers bring snowboards with them to descend on the slopes, but, if desired, you can find Bedouins.
A month ago I was on Mars.
"Rocks are covered with red-made red formations, and attached to this irresistible place the visibility of the completed Byzantine architecture, superior to any imagination. Our little caravan in these huge mountains penetrates full calm, shaming and frightening thoughts to throw their significance. " These lines from David Lina Lina "Lawrence Arabian" are addressed to the Martian desert Wadi Ram in Jordan.
The episodes of "Star Wars", "Transformers" and "Martian" also filmed here.
She is also called the lunar valley. Really similar. 
The rocks of the desert were formed at the bottom of the sea, whose water left 3000 years ago. The sand has different shades: from reddish to blue, and in rocks traces of fossil seashells remained.
Stone mushrooms, petroglyphs, portraits of the gods and sanctuary of the swabs. Inevitable meeting with camels and shepherds.
Bedouins occupied an extensive territory next to the village of Ram. Found interesting rocks, dunes from red sandstone, weathered rocks and a multi-colored canyon. Mounted the route and carry tourists on all-wheel drive jips.
Who wants to fully experience themselves local, investigate the desert riding a camel. After I cursed the watch trip on the camel in the Indian desert of Tar, the humpback was categorically refused. 
Excursions in Wadi Ram. Prices for excursions
Excursions in the wilderness of Wadi Rams in Jordan are divided by price, time that is planned to be held in the desert, and movement means.
There are excursions in the desert for 3, 5 hours, on the day, and even for 3 days.
We chose an excursion for 4 hours for 60 dinar for two. 
It was decided - mchim on a jeep with a driver and part-time guide. He is the owner of Campa, in which tourists are invited to stay to watch the sunset, the dawn and the night dome of the sky together.
Figured cliffs have names. By and large, as they look like, it is called: a small bridge, big Most, 7 pillars of wisdom, chicken, etc.
Carry to Multicolored Canyon. Allegedly there were found petroglyphs of the swabs, with which 2000 years.
The canyon is beautiful, but at the expense of Petroglyphs I doubt. Some of them are not natural.
Distances from one attraction to the other about 1-2 to 20 km. 
In addition to skiing attractions, camel trips, nights in the Bedouin Celebration Camp have come up with another night in the cave and air balloon flights. 
Prices for excursions in the desert Wadi Ram on the jeep:
- 2-3 hours - 15 Dinar with people.
- 4-6 hours - 30 dinar per person
- Full day with sunset wires - 55 dinar for people.
There are multi-day tours on camels, and you can just ride 15-20 minutes.
If you take a jeep tour, then the driver carries the place of riding on camels.

Distance to Desert Wadi Ram from Aqaba
From Aqaba to the tourist center Wadi Ram 60 km. We arrived on a rented car, which can be left in the parking lot in the tourist center. Or before entering the desert area - which is located 2 km to the tour center.
Guide, tent, excursion: compounded by one chain, associated one goal
Competition is crazy. Everyone fights for the tourist with all ways and means. Therefore, if Bedouin chartered you on an excursion, it will offer you accommodation, dinner, breakfast, transfer from the desert to the parking lot from the tour center.
If you are traveling in Wadi Rams and have already booked housing in the desert through Buking (or another booking service), then you should reach the tour center and take the tour not from "ABO which" guide, but at your host Campa.
In the tour center will watch the reservation and call the Kampa host. It is brought to a tour of the desert with delivery to his accommodation.
We also got an unpleasant situation. Despite the fact that we booked the night in Campe through Bukin, in the end we had to abandon the night in the desert and leave to Aqabu.
2 km from the tour center there is another parking lot. When we approached the entrance to Wadi Ram (it was built according to the type of checkpoint), they stopped on it. It was our mistake.
We decided that now we will take a tour of the guide, which here is a crowd. And then we will reach the tour center, call the Kampa host and go to rest. But everything is arranged differently.
On the parking lot in front of the entrance to the desert we were met by Bedouin, offered guide services on her jeep. Cost 60 dinar for two for 3-4 hours. Free water is attached. We agreed.
After the excursion from the jeep moved to their cars and reached the tour center. Here, as described above, we looked at who our owner of Campa called him, he drove up and brought us on a tour of the desert.
We said that only from the excursion. He was in a terrible bewilderment. Even rose.
Then, in all likelihood he decided to get money from us with another way and announced the rates attached to the already booked night in Campe:
- Delivery to Campa - 20 Dinar (about 2000 rubles)
- Dinner 20 Dinar with people.
- Breakfast - 20 dinar with people.
Total 100 dinar - 9300 rubles for two + night in Campe.
We tried to explain to the greedy Bedouin that the transfer is not needed. We are on your car, and on Bucking was stated about free parking. And nothing was said about a paid transfer.
Also in the booking sheet it is said that breakfast is included in the price. If you agree to this robbery, it will be the most expensive breakfast, which ever eaten - 4000 rubles.
We do not want to dinner. We have a snack with us.
Bedouin in rabies made verdict: "Or so or how."
It was nowhere to complain, we sat down in a car and left for Aqaba.
The owners of the room were told in Aqaba, in which they stopped, this story, and they answered that they could bring us to the desert for less money. We were completely upset. To raise the mood, we fed a local delicious dinner.
If someone wants to take advantage of housing in Aqabe and meet the guys who have lived, here is a link to their apartment on Booking.com.
And this is a bonus - 1000 rubles for booking on Bucking.
What else missed? Tuping in the comments - write questions.
Pretty spontaneously managed to implement two independent trips at once - first meet new Year In Ukraine, and immediately after that it is difficult to arrange difficult forces of warm sun in the Middle East. I have already started talking about Ukraine, and in the near future, of course, I will continue. And today - is the time to show you anything interesting from the second part of our new Year's Travel. And my first story - about the Jordanian desert Wadi Ram, one of beautiful seats On Earth and, at the same time, one of the brightest impressions from our Middle Eastern trip. This is one of my best photo reports. Enjoy!
The Wadi Rama desert is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. It is not surprising that such a title attracts Hollywood directors to himself - some scenes of "star wars", "Transformers" and "Prometheus" were filmed here, so that driving the feeling of the Deja Vyu during a walk through local canyons and plains is guaranteed. Such love of cinematographic geniuses is not accidental - the incredible colors of the desert along with its unusual geological formations are really shaking!
The place is purely tourist, which, surprisingly, does not diminish his values. At the entrance to the desert there is a tourist center, near which the crowd of enterprising Bedouins always occupies, in vain offering themselves as conductors. Since without a guide with a good jeep, there is nothing to do here, but I didn't want to rely on good luck, I still contacted Meheda from Russia - a local Bedouin, organizing a desert safari and a striking quantity good reviews on different tourist resources.
Mehey warned me in advance so that I could not listen to Bedouins near the tourist center - they would go on any tricks to lure me into their networks. Indeed, only I got out of the car and headed for the boxes to pay our stay in the desert, I was surrounded by a crowd of Arabs, which began to offer me their services in a mixture. One of them even said that he was Mehey, they say he was waiting for me from an early morning. Watching off from the annoying grief-entrepreneurs we went on, to the place of our meeting with Mechy.
He himself could not meet us, his brother was made by his brother - Auldh (oh, I hope I correctly wrote his name in Russian). At first, when we saw the car on which we had to go to the desert, we were horrified. Twenty Salstore Toyota, at first glance, with very large difficulty fell under the definition of "car". It turned out that this is a miracle goes, and it is very good. What, with the fact that the windshield is decorated with a tatten of cracks, because of which nothing can be seen, and there is no side glass and in risen? Well, even on trifles - wipers, for example, do not work. Lowing transmission works with great reluctance. There are no brakes ... But who will be scared? Let's hit the road!
The weather was so terrible as it may be so in these parts. Lucky still that snow did not fall asleep.
Right over our heads with mad speed were heavy gray clouds, sometimes opening small lumets, instantly filled with bright sunlight.
At these moments, the desert was transformed by folling with bright colors and contrasting shadows.
Around us were leaving for the horizon beautiful landscapes, and if it were not for a thick cloud, constantly hiding from us sunlight, both of my memory cards would be filled with photos already at the very beginning of the safari.
These places are inextricably linked with Lawrence Arabian - a British officer who played an important role in the Arab uprising in 1916-1920.
But we came here not behind the story, but for natural beauty, she will enjoy.
Canyon Khazali. In the past, this place was used by Bedouins for recreation. In the summer months, air in the desert is easily heated to fifty degrees of heat and single placewhere you can hide from the killing heat - narrow canyons that preserve a pleasant coolness.
We could not understand the happiness of Bedouins. The air temperature did not want to rise above five degrees of heat, so that in the desert, that the gorge was cold and drooped.
Canyon, of course, beautiful.
Not far from the entrance you can find ancient petroglyphs. Scientists assure that they are several thousand years old, although, in truth, all this is more like the amateurness of local inhabitants, designed for gullible tourists.
Periodically, the sky completely tightened the clouds and thousands of incident droplets began to be drummed along the loose sand. The surrounding landscapes again transformed beyond recognition. In addition to the rain because of the mountains, the gusts of the cold wind flew, painfully stunned by the face of water with sand with a mixture.
Most of the desert is rocky, but in some places you can find real sand dunes. On the right photograph - located near the Dunes of Petroglyphs of the Nabatoe period.
Ruins of the old Nabatoye house. It is believed that this building was used by Lawrence Arabian as a warehouse of ammunition.
Another one opens from the house beautiful view on the desert.
Periodically there are tents of Bedouins. Most of them work with tourists.
Some places are broken down entire towns from the tents where visitors can spend the night.
As I wrote above, the Wadi Ram's desert is famous for its natural formations - canyons and arches.
Another arch. Particularly awesome can climb on her top.
Self-portrait. Shadow on top of Arch - me.
Top view - chic.
By the end of the day, the weather began to be improved. We even had hope that the coming day we were going to spend in Peter will make us a warm Jordanian sun. We then have not yet suspected that literally after a few hours we will be watched through mountain pass According to the ten-centimeter snow, and the only ruthful snow buran will be the only fellow traveler within an hour. But all this was ahead, but as long as we enjoyed the unexpected sunshine, gently enveloping the sandy desert roads.
Of course, Wadi Rama beautiful looks in the rays of the sun. Especially when time gradually begins to litter to the sunset.
You just look at what bright paints.
At the beginning of the day I frankly worried that the weather brings us. Indeed, to get under the rain in the desert, you need to have some paranormal luck. By evening, I realized that we were lucky on the contrary - we were among the few favorites, who managed to see Wadi Ram and in the rain and in the sun.
The range of colors varies depending on the terrain from brightly yellow to dark burgundy.
See for yourself what beauty!
When we finally frozen, Auwdes got from somewhere from the covers a huge piece of polyethylene, which was supposed to replace the missing window. By the way, it turned out quite clumsy - polyethylene was constantly falling off, so the Auwnde did not have anything, how to constantly hold him with one hand. Service!
Chick. And after all, as natural!
Here this photo, in my opinion, it turned out well - almost the finished poster for an adventure film!
Frozen but satisfied we went back to tourist center. Alone was stopped by one of the Bedouin streets, where Auwdes wanted to visit his Bedouin's Friends, and we were accidentally demonstrated by an unfavorable level of local hospitality - when I approached the firing fire, Bedouins sincerely apologized that I did not have time to regret our arrival and I There will be no opportunity a couple to get to warm up ...
By the way, fires are the only thing that allowed us not to climb during our walk. Well, and of course, hot teaIn which Bedouins add a set of herbs unknown to me. It turns out quite prono, but, damn it, delicious!
In general, despite the terrible weather, we liked everything. All completeness of emotions passes the next photo. Left - Annair, on the right - Auwdes. Well, as me later, Mehey said: "Insha" Allah Once in the future you will be able to come here again. "Let's hope!
Wadi-Ram's desert patrol officers are perhaps the most colorful uniform in the Middle East. Dish-Dash's long khaki color was intercepted with a bright red cartridge, on the belt - a dagger, in his hands - a rifle, on the head - the traditional red-white handkerchief of Jordanian Bedouins (Skofia).
But this is superfluous

Entertainment and sights Vadi-Ram
Wadi Rama can be explored in several ways, the best way It will offer in the center of servicing tourists in the reserve, where you can not only find all the information, but also rent an SUV with a guide driver. Another option is to hire a conductor with a camel.
It is worth viewing the rock bridge of the Burda - the most high point Wadi Rama, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", Lawrence Well, the Nabatie Temple, Desert Oasis and many others interesting places. Traveling by car will take one day, on a camel - two days.
Becraid expanses of the desert Wadi-Ram
A balloon flight is an unforgettable way to see Wadi-Ram. Flights are organized from April to June and from September to December. The basket accommodates up to eight passengers. The ball rises into the air in the early morning when the winds and ascending air flows are optimal for flight. Detailed information on balloon flights, parachute and flying jumps on ultralight aircraft You can get in the Royal Sports Aeroclub of Jordan by phone: +962 3 205 8050, fax: +962 3 205 8052.
Every year, the Distant Heat festival is arranged in the town of Seven Piples of Wisdom ("Fallen Peklo") in Wadi-Rama.
Since Wadi Ram is a reserve, there are no catering establishments on its territory. Stores and one restaurant can only be found in the center of servicing tourists.
One of the brightest episodes of the last trip was to visit the desert Wadi Ram in the south of Jordan. Being among her red sands and bizarre rocks, we could not get rid of the sensation from the sensation, as if we were found on another planet. And then it turned out that it was completely so!
Half of the day, which we spent, driving around the expanses Wadi Rama left the indelible impressions, which can hardly be able to convey text with photos, but still I will try ...
It must be said that Wadi Rama appeared in the plans of our trip almost spontaneously. Planning a trip to Israel for a week, we decided to carve two days from staying in Tel Aviv: one on Eilat, the other. But somewhere a week before the departure, a friend was asked - as they say so, will you go to Peter and do not look at Wadi Ram? Thank you, Boria! We beat plans, after which they crossed the border in Jordan.
1. Despite the fact that I organized a tour in Wadi Rama practically at the last minute, everything went fine: I was waiting for a taxi driver near the border, which (with an entrance to an ATM, to remove the Jordanian currency) for an hour and a half I arrived to the Bedouin Town Wadi Ram. On the way, we had to buy tickets to the reserve, 5 dinars per person - this is somewhere $ 7 (Jordanian dinar costs $ 1.4!)
It is difficult for him to call it and the town is three or four streets of one-story houses located between two arrays of the brown carved mountains.
2. In the town of us met Tetaik (the owner of travel agency, where we ordered a tour) and Mohammed, our driver. The price of a day round was 60 dinars per person, and included a private jeep, overnight in the Bedouin camp, lunch, dinner and breakfast. It's quite notice, but, as I understood, in Jordan, tourist entertainment is quite expensive.
3. Atetak treated us with tea, and showed our vehicle movement. It was a meal, but a strong Toyota pickup, with a prescribed body equipped for passengers.
4. The body was welded from metal pipes, a canopy created a shadow from the sultry of the Jordan Sun. There was two inhabitants of the incomprehensible plush tissue of the bench. In general, it was convenient to go, even when the jeep gave the sand dunes.
5. And so we left!
6. Despite the fact that the day was hot, in the shade of a canopy, and at speeds, a pleasant breeze was blowing in the face.
7. Immediately outside the town began a desert. "Wadi Ram" in translation from Arabic means "the valley of small sand" - here really very soft, fine sand. It is nice to hold in his hands, it reflux through the fingers almost like liquid.
8. The valley is surrounded by high red-brown rocks, which is why heavily looks like some alien landscape.
9. Stones for many millennia are honored by local winds, and acquired intricate forms.
11. It would be very easy to imagine that you are on Mars, but then ...
12. ... Then the Earth Beast falls on the eyes. Camels just so packed here in the sands. Most likely they are not wild, but belong to local Bedouins. However, camels also look like a tricky alien creature ...
13. Most of the time we rode in the desert in absolute loneliness. There were no soul around us.
14. Only traces of the beats on the sands reminded that we are not alone here. There are quite a few such latached tracks in Wadi Rum. Nevertheless, this place is quite popular among tourists. Fortunately, the desert is large, and most often the other cars are not visible.
15. But the deserted intersection:
16. Sometimes you still meet a jeep with other tourists. All local cars look equally - these are the same pickups with superstructured bodies.
17. From time to time we saw several cars at once. It was a faithful sign that we approach one of the local "sights."
18. Even in such a beautiful desert there are particularly beautiful and photogenic places where all drivers are called their tourists. Near such points always accumulation of machines - as parking in the middle of the sands.
19. And also local authorities They put in such points of urns, so that tourists do not climb the desert.
20. Here is one of these popular seats: Deep gorge in orange stone, washed over the millennium with rainwaters.
21. It looks like it. The same beautiful curved lines, the same sheer walls go far up ...
22. Only here on the walls are also ancient pictures of early people. Although it is possible that these drawings are made by modern Bedouins to surprise visitors to tourists.
23. Anyway, unlike the antelope canyon, this gorge is not so many people, you can safely inspect it, without anyone constantly customized from behind. And also to go into it further than a few tens of meters, you need to climb up.
24. This moment I really liked the tone, as she used to engaged in climbing. And I had to climb.
25. Muhammed knows this area by heart. Still, every day carry tourists here! He suggested us where to put his leg much when we were not sure.
26. Only we came out of this gorge, as a large group of Italians arrived at several jeeps. The place immediately became even more like an antelope canyon.
27. After the gorge, Muhammed is visited by a big sandy hill. Climb on him up was a hard thing, it took ten minutes.
28. True, it turned out that the top had a rocky. With it, it was opened with a great view of the entire neighboring desert.
29. It was very fun to go down, it was possible to make giant jumps, landing every time in soft pink sand, which took off clouds around our legs.
30. Tonya was smarter than me, and fled barefoot. But then I had to shake out of the boot small mountains Sand.
31. We also went to take pictures on a "small arc" ...
32. ... and "big arc". It seems to be a mandatory program.
If we arrived from the morning, it seems that we would have been taken to a few more famous desert points. But to be honest, the most buzz is not a point, but the feeling of the wind in the face when you chase on the jeep along this magnificent area.
33. Even Mohammed himself could not resist, and decided at some point to purify, leaning out the window of the car on the go.
34. But someone fastened. The car had some breakdown. In such cases, local Bedouins help each other with a repair, even if it means that their tourists are forced to wait until the work is over.
35. A minute of rest among the cliffs.
36. Closer to the evening Muhammed brings us to a sunset. It turned out that it is also popular: to our arrival it is already located with a dozen of people, and then a few later drove up.
37. However, there was enough space at all. People scattered around the neighboring hills, and sat down to watch the sunset groups. The sun was ate to the horizon, and all the surroundings, and without that orange-red were also lit up with golden climbing light.
"Straight, like on Mars," I thought ...
38. ... And then a man appeared in a silver scaffle! At first, I did not understand what the matter was, but then it turned out that two tourists from China brought with them the costume of the cosmonaut specifically for sunset!
39. It turns out that I am alone I think that the Wadi Rama desert is very similar to Mars. So people think and people who shoot the movie about Mars! As I learned later, many films use this place in Jordan as location for the red planet. The most famous, perhaps, was the film of 2015 "Martian", with Matton Daimon, about astronaut, stuck on Mars, who was forced to grow potatoes there.
In addition to the role of Mars in many scientific fiction films, Wadi Ram Rama also "played" Jed's deserted planet in "Star Wars: Knife-One".
40. So, by a strange coincidence, on the same day, that we arrived at this sunset point, there were also these guys from China, who wanted to repeat the scenes from Martian.
41. It is curious that "Lasa" was written on the back of the player - on the one hand, an obvious parody of American NASA, on the other - an alternative spectacle of the city of Lhasa, the capital.
42. I also decided to take a picture of this voluntary "lounge".
And after, when he took off the surprise, the tonya asked him to try on - it turned out the title photo to this post (some of you have already seen her in my instagram a week ago).
43. After sunset, we went to the desert camp of Bedouins. Such camps are scattered throughout Wadi Ram - they usually eat at the foot of the local cliffs. Each Bedouin Tour operator has its own camp, and, as far as I understood, they are all about the same. This is a few double "tents" (in fact, clutch huts covered with camel wool).
44. In the center of the pair of buildings, it's a kitchen, souls and toilets (there are no amenities in the tractors). Specifically in our camp, advanced Bedouins installed a solar panel (but the generator also worked next to it):
45. This is how such a tent from the inside looks. This is a small room with a double bed. Two tiny vents, too, the dwells of matter, so when they are closed, the daylight does not penetrate into the room. On the ceiling hung, and even there was one outlet, through which we charged phones.
46. It is not very interesting to spend time in such a tent. Fortunately, Bedouin was divorced in the camp of the fire, near which it was very nice to sit. We were offered tea. There were two kettles on fire.
"And what is the difference between them?" I asked.
"One with sugar, the other - with smaller sugar," answered me. Even the one that was "not very sweet" turned out to be quite pronounced.
About half a dozen men gathered around the fire, who talked about their own in Arabic. And only Atetaca, the head of the camp, was sometimes interested in our impressions.
47. After some time another couple came to the fire, tourists from Germany. It turned out that this evening we are four of us - the only guests of these specific Bedouins. Since all guests were assembled, we were invited to dinner. It turned out that dinner in the literal sense is swallowed under the ground. The guys took a shovel and in the light of mobile phones began to rake the pile of sand.
48. I helped highlight my flashlight, which took just in case. He was bought, and turned out to be much brighter what was built into mobile phones. This caused approving comments from Atetaika.
Bedouins cleared the sand under which the metal cover was covered with a barrel with cooked food. Previously, it was covered with coals, and the grill with chicken and vegetables staged from above for several hours. Now everything was ready, it was possible to get and eat.
49. We had dinner in a separate large room, another "tent", the lower parts of the walls of which were made of concrete. It was clearly designed for large quantity Tourists, so that the four of us there was a little uncomfortable.
50. After dinner, I returned to the fire, grabbing a computer. It was here that I wrote (it is difficult to believe, but it was literally the day before!) Bedouins were opening a hookah, and treated them to them.
It was beautiful: fire, hookah, tea, desert ...
51. And when the fire finally wounded, it turned out that we had the brightest dome of the stars above our heads!
If you suddenly be in those edges, and want to visit Wadi Rams, I can recommend camp atetaika. Its office is called Bedouin Roads. If you meet him, tell me that he handed out Hi Lion, who he bought a flashlight. ()
