T. E. Lawrence famously described the place as 'Vast, echoing and godlike'. Very fitting.
The camels are called "The Ships of the Desert". They do not seem (or look) overly smart. To us they seem like a mix between a large sheep and an ostrich.
Sand, red sand.
Like our Aussie friend Harriet always say "only Englishmen and mad dogs" are out in the blistering sun in the middle of the day.
The rest of us sit in the shade having sweet tea.
More life than you might expect in the desert.
Really old graffiti.
They seem to have had camels back then.
.... and spears.
The men are explaining to Ulrica that it is NOT like riding a horse.
They do have very funny looking feet.
Making more sugary tea.
This is why they are suffering from deforestation. All tea cooking.
Hut hut hut!
Watching the sunset over Wadi Rum.
..... and the actual sunset.
Ibrahim is cooking a very nice barbecue dinner for us. It would have been enough food for at least 20 people. He also had the most beautiful voice we discovered, after listening to him sing his evening prayer between the sand dunes and rocks in the silent desert.
Jordanians seemed to be obsessed about food hygiene. Always very careful with cleanliness and freshness of the food. Having lived for generations in tents in the desert with temperatures of 40oC we guess that they have figured out what works and what would make you sick. We ate great food (and a lot of it) through out the trip and never felt sick the slightest.
After spending some time by the camp fire we went to bed under the stars and watched an amazing starry sky and shooting stars. 
Sunrise over Wadi Rum.
