On the 27th we drove from our hotel in Petra to our campsite in the Wadi Rum desert. The drive took 3 hours and we stopped along the way at a gas station, a watermelon stand, several view points, and the 7 pillars of wisdom mountain. When we got to the campsite we had our lunch and then we sat in benches installed in the bed of a truck and we drove around the desert. We saw two different natural arches and the locations where The Martian and one of the Star Wars movies were filmed. We also stopped for tea at a Bedouin home and to take pictures of a rock that looks like a mushroom due to natural erosion.
When we got back to our camp we had dinner that was cooked in the ground in a traditional Bedouin way. After dinner we sat by our campfire and made s’mores and looked at the stars before we went to bed.
The next day we woke up and had breakfast and then we packed up and drove a little over an hour to our hotel in Aqaba. We got ready and then we went on a yacht for a few hours to go snorkeling. We were in the Red Sea and we went snorkeling around the reefs and a shipwreck and we saw lots of fish and some scuba divers. We had lunch on the boat and relaxed and then we took our bus back to the hotel after we docked.
Once we got back to the hotel we changed and went to get ice cream. Then we rested before dinner.
