The vast desert. The vast night sky. The vastness of life. And our own insignificance. Sleeping under the Milky Way in the Wadi Rum, after many rounds of shisha and swapping stories with your Bedouin guide... few experiences match up to that 😍 #theshootingstar #jordan #wadirum #travel
The vast desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan is a sight to behold
Take a day out in the desert of Wadi Rum, ride camels, sandboard down the dunes, climb the natural rock bridges and stay the night in a Bedouin camp.
