I know, right?! It felt like a scene straight out of The Martian (with a tad more luxury ;) ) Maybe you can swing by Jordan on your way back from Nepal!
@@kineticpassports that would be nice, but I'm spending a week in Thailand after the trek with my son from Australia. My wife wouldn't be happy if I stayed away any longer. You're so lucky to get to go on so many international adventures!
@@mikekofMorrison oh my gosh! That actually sounds even better. A nice beach vacation after a grueling trek. You’re gonna love yourself for that arrangement.
Nice video... makes me missing Wadi Ram...Have been there in 1990 last time with three friends and a rented car. No hotels there, no tourists... only once a boy with a flock of sheep playing the nai (Arabic flute) in the lonelyness.. Must be totally different nowadays, but I like to see it.
Thank you! Oh, I bet it was totally different in the early 90s. It sounds like its much more built up now - we passed quite a few hotels on our way to the one we stayed in. If you go during low season (like we did), you can still find some space to be alone in. But, the scene you described - nothing except a boy with his sheep and his flute - I think that might have been a very special time to be there.
I do miss the desert sunset's and sunrises, still one of the best. Probably because of hardly any light pollution or smog pollution, just so calm and breath taking. Question: What do you two do for jobs? Question 2: What do you use for video equipment ? I been wanting to do something similar with my GF.
There’s nothing like a desert sunset ❤️ Rishi and I both worked in technology (he’s a software engineer and I’m a product manager) but took a year break from our jobs to travel. So, we’re living off our savings atm. Re equipment - we use a few cameras. We use the Osmo Pocket as our primary camera. Osmo Action for water-based activities. And, our Sony A7c as supplemental.
ive been in that hotel in 2022!!! its beautiful! i reccomend u going stargazing at nightime! the hotel provides the service! the tour guide its so nice!
Wow! So glad to find another person who loved it there! We didn’t do the group stargazing, but we did enjoy the stars from our deck at night. Just stunning!
Yep, we booked through the hotel for a sunset tour (3-4 hr). They’re available same day, so really no need to book ahead unless the hotel tells you otherwise. If our memory is correct, it was around 70 JOD
Welcome to jordan , Nice vlogs for my country ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! We had such a great time traveling through Jordan - can’t wait to go back!
That place was so cool! It truly looks like you were staying on a Mars base! The accommodations look awesome!

@@kineticpassports I'm looking forward to a real Thai massage. I'm going to need one after that trek!
oh, i bet you will!
I have to say I love your video! Very enjoyable and informative at the same time.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it - we try our best to make sure people get something out of watching 😊

This was your funniest video yet…”Florist of Arabia” 😂
Glad you liked that 😂 Wish we were a bit more cultured 😅
Did you book the 4x4 tour from the hotel itself ? How much did it cost ?
