Such a cool place in the Middle East. Famous for Petra, the Dead Sea, and the desert vibes of Wadi Rum. Amazing mix of history and landscapes!
Bedouins are nomadic Arab tribes who traditionally lived in the deserts of the Middle East, known for their hospitality, resilience, and deep connection to the land.
The Bedouins know the Wadi Rum desert, which covers about 720 km², like the back of their hand. They told me they recognize the paths across the desert, and at night they navigate by the stars.
Their food is simple but full of flavor. One of the most famous dishes is zarb, meat and vegetables cooked in an underground oven. Too bad I didn’t take a photo, but they showed us how it’s done. Evenings with them by the campfire were amazing, they were so honest when we asked questions.

Jordan and the areas you talk about are so high on my list. Except for the desert, too much sand for me.

An incredible set of photos, Anna. You capture the spirit of travel, and give us a beautiful glimpse of the mystery of Jordan — both the landscapes and the people shine through here. Your description of the Bedouins’ knowledge of Wadi Rum is what I most admire about the culture, both through travel there and in the history books… those evenings by the campfire makes the place feel alive in a way that goes far beyond the usual Petra-and-Dead-Sea clichés. Well done!

Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful words Dalo.
The Bedouins’ knowledge of Wadi Rum felt almost poetic in its precision; the way they read the desert, the sky, the silence… it’s something I’ll carry with me for a long time.
As an introvert, I usually treasure quiet moments alone, but those evenings by the campfire were different. I didn’t want them to end. There was something grounding and almost timeless about sitting under that enormous sky, listening to stories in the middle of such vast emptiness. One night even turned into a small astronomy lesson, tracing constellations, learning how they navigate by the stars, and realizing how much knowledge is held in traditions.
I’m truly grateful that the photos and words conveyed even a fraction of that atmosphere. Thank you again for taking the time to write such a generous comment.

Thank you Whitney! Jordan really stays with you, doesn’t it? And yes, the food cooked underground is unforgettable. I can still taste it. I’m glad the photos brought those memories back for you.
