with camel caravan petroglyphs in the sandstone cliffs made by tribes from Southern Arabia or possibly the Nabataeans around the 4th century BC-
Our group traveled in the back of half tons. I found it to be a little chilly-
but the scenery was excellent-
We crawled up on top of these rock bridges-
There are miles and miles of sand and mountains-
We kept seeing the same group of camels so I don't know if they were staged or not. Apparently camels can go for 50 days without water-
Our drivers were interested in something on a cell phone-
Later, they lit a fire-
for tea while we waited for-
Back at camp, we had zerb, a Bedouin tradition, for supper. Carrots, potatoes, lamb and chicken were placed on a tiered rack, inserted into a hole in the ground and roasted for 4-5 hours. The chicken bones were very tiny so I'm not sure what kind of bird it might have been but it tasted good-
Tomorrow, we're off to Aqaba for a boat ride and snorkeling in the Red Sea.
