Driving in the desert
I think anyone who has been to Jordan will agree that you need to be at least a little bit crazy to drive here. Fortunately, I qualify. It was my last few days in Jordan so why not…
I rented a car for 3 days to see some of the sites that are difficult to reach using public transport. The result? dipping feet in one international border (Jordan River with Israel/Palestine), 2 fun traveling companions, 920km, two beautiful nature reserves, 15 hitchhikers picked up, 5 castles, and only one warning from the speed control police.
Wadi Mujib and Wadi Dana Nature Reserves (more on these in another post)
Audrey and Muriel and I scrunched into the petite Kia Picanta (1100cc)
Dipping feet in the Jordan river (5m wide) literally spitting distance from Israel.
al-Azraq, al-Kharana, al-Amra, and Umm al-Jimr all out in the middle of some serious nowhere desert.
