Yesterday, after I met up with Drew (the kid I met in Petra), we had someone approach us on the street about a trip to Wadi Rum. To make a long story short ( for once) we worked out a deal so that we would get transport to Wadi Rum in a 4×4 vehicle, straight off the highway into the dessert, tour the dessert for a few hours and see some cool things, and then go straight to a camp in the dessert. Eventually, once at the camp, a tour bus arrived with a bunch of people from Amman. The camp blasted Arabian techno out of some huge speakers that they had surrounding the camp fire. All of the Jordanian tourists were eventually dancing some crazy dance where they held hands and did circles around the camp fire. They didn’t stay there the night, just there for the party, and when they left Drew and I figured out how to hook up our ipods to the sound system and the result was 2pac, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and a few other artists being blasted through the dessert.
Today we boarded our 4×4 vehicle, did a little more dessert sight seeing, mostly rock formations and heiroglyphics and stuff, and then were dropped off in Aqaba, which is a town in the south of Jordan that boarders both Israel and Egypt. Tonight we have a ferry at midnight, over the Red Sea, to arrive in Nuweiba, Egypt. As my friend, William, said it, “I have heard that the slow ferry could possibly take 16 hours, or it might not go at all, or it might sink.” Hopefully William was poorly informed and the 3 hour ferry ride will only take, at most, 6. Once we get to Egypt we will make our way to Dahab which is on the coast and is warm. Internet time is running out, gotta go.

Sounds like you are seeing amazing sites and meeting interesting people too. The dessert party sounds like something out of a movie. Did you learn some new moves? Have a safe trip over to Egypt. xo Nikki
