Most Inspirational Moment
Amazing desert scenery. Sleeping outside under the stars. Stories around the campfire. Scrambling up to Burdah rock bridge. Lovely food and plenty of it. The ancient city of Petra with its magnificent facades. Excellent group of people to listen to, walk with, laugh with, and be inspired by. The Bedouin who looked after us with great attentiveness.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was Zuhair - we were his "tribe" and he was our Tribe Father! Zuhair was lovely, a real family man who looked after us, kept us right, told us many tales of long ago, and generally made our whole trip a great success.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The organisation of the week was excellent, so you just need to make sure you have personal things you need: moist face/body wipes are great, and a flat toilet tissue pack is nifty. Hair washing not necessary - after 4 days everyone's hair is a bit messy - just wear a hat/scarf. You might like to take a small travel pillow, but thick foam sleeping mats are provided and are very comfortable. The food is plentiful and yummy, but if you think you might run out of steam, take one or two muesli bars. (I took some but didn't use them)
