This time I started in Amman and gone by JETT bus to Wadi Rum. It goes on the Desert Highway which is very boring road, only first when we are approaching junction towards Petra and later towards Ma'an it begin be a little better landscape around and the desert is more and more nearer.
Next day some tourist should ride hot balloon and I was going and looking how it works, but myself I wanted not ride.
Unfortunately the weather was not so very good so they cancelled all other rides, only one balloon managed to go up.
Instead I stayed at the camp enjoying the desert and camp also. It is one small camp, I prefer such kind of camps than any big and luxury tents. When I am in the desert I wish to feel more "the soul" of the desert, freedom, not with many people around shouting, running around etc.
One day in Humeima searching after the pool.
I have been already twice in Humeima but never I succeeded to find the pool, first one in the world it says. This time I decided to go there again and not leave until I find it. And after a while, going here and there, at finish I found it.
The picture above was taken maybe 20 years ago when Dan Gibson, a Middle Eastern
historian was there for to explore the whole area there.
And the picture down I took now. It was nobody who took care of it and it was full of sand only, so it was not so strange that it was so difficult to find it. But anyway I was happy to see it and imagine how it could be before.
I hope some archeologist will go there and try to restore it as much as possible. I am in contact with Dan Gibson and wrote to him about it. He wish to go back and wrote to me "My dream is to go back with a film crew and lots of time. But if we
make a sequel film, it will most likely be all about scholars and their
opinions." so I will see if ... or not ...
One trip to Ma'an to look at old Hejaz railway station.
The station was located outside Ma'an, not inside as I thought. I was going there with my friend from Wadi Rum village so it was easier for him to ask people where we can find it.
Of course it had other appearance than before because it is under renovation. It was interesting, I found even one room there with some machines, have no idea what i can be, but they looked old.
I wished also to see old Ma'an but it was not much left, only a couple of ruined houses, full of sand also and a little difficult to to get closer so I had to take pictures from the road only.
We had also visited place where it was one castle but I got to promise to not mention what for castle it was, so I will only put a little pictures. Because it was also renovation object so maybe due that the workers asked me to not talk about that.

But, his lord instead of blessing them killed him. Sad story about a brutal lord.
