Ever since seeing the film 'Lawrence of Arabia' I wanted to visit Wadi Rum, one of the great locations of the film, and see for myself the towering sandstone towers rising from the desert sands. It didn't dissapoint and while I was there I enjoyed the legendary hospitality of the Bedouin.
In Aquaba stay at the Alcajar hotel.
Don't forget to drink mint tea on the beach as the sun sets over the Red Sea and snorkel over the reefs.
