This is no “ger” like where Roger and I stayed in Mongolia. Unlike those, this is air conditioned, has a bathroom, flowing water, fridge and a hot tub!! The coolest part are the wide curtain windows that you can draw back in sleep in watching the moon and the stars!
I doubt that this is how the Bedouins live!
As we were driving from Aqaba to Wadi Rum, we came across some mountains with some interesting marks across them as you can see in the picture. It almost looks like the mountains were sliced by a knife. It cannot be flowing water. Look at the one straight up the road in front of you. The mountain seems to be cut on both sides of it from the top.
Anybody has any idea what these might be?
Out in the horizon, beyond the Bedouin tents, you can see a railway line. The best way to locate is the relatively smooth line. It is a narrow gauge railway that connects Istanbul, Turkey to Medina, Saudi Arabia. I believe the original plan was to extent to Mecca but the first World War interrupted the constructions.
Mahmoud let me know that it carries mostly goods trains these days.
