Leaving Petra, we joined a tour bus filled with Jordanian girls–heading 130 miles within the unsuitable path. We don’t know why we did this, contemplating we weren’t precisely certain the place they have been going or once they would arrive to our meant vacation spot, however we knew it was going to be an journey. We hopped in, and have been instantly supplied zaatar and butter sandwiches and cups of tea. Then the music cranked up. “Annie! Mike!” “Come dance,” stated the women in concord. The bus was going 50 miles an hour on snaking roads, however they didn’t care. These seemingly conservative girl, cloaked in hijabs, have been prepared to chop unfastened and we weren’t about to carry them again. Chanting our names and spinning us spherical and spherical, we laughed till our cheeks damage.
Little did we all know the occasion was simply getting began. We reached the Wadi Rum desert because the solar was setting over the purple mountains, and we couldn’t perceive why they’d wish to see this legendary panorama at midnight. Then we noticed the strobe lights bouncing off the dunes. Two dance flooring have been arrange, one for males and one other for ladies. Our new pals ordered three hookahs for our desk, additional extending the invitation into their worlds. There wasn’t a single westerner at this occasion…and we felt so honored to have skilled the sunshine and warm-hearted spirit of the Center East.
