Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea via Aqaba

Sounds like a quiz question- travelling by car where in the world can you be in the desert, then go snorkelling then float in the Dead Sea all within 3 hours? Yes you guessed it, either Jordan or Palestine! Aqaba is a strange place, it is mainly a Port city stuck in the middle of the desert, even the hotel area seemed to have grown out of nothing. Desert on 3 sides but still green in the hotel complex.
PS snorkelling was great though.

Some more photos of Wadi Rum, with me in my 'safari' style outfit!




The desert is fascinating though because it is very fertile and all you need to do is add water and hey presto you can grow anything!



And finally the Dead Sea with a little bit of a biblical connection, can you guess who this might be?
