Cats in Wadi Rum: they come with the territory
admin July 26th, 2007
Camping out in Wadi Rum can be a magical experience but it’s not always quiet as blogger tsaojam discovered one night under canvas.
Spending a night or two out in the Wadi Rum desert is a must. The trekking and climbing during the day is amazing enough, but nothing quite like nights in a desert…the extreme silence…cool desert night air…and unfortunately in the areas where many camping grounds congregate, barking dogs all night and cats in heat. The experience was amazing, but if you’re in one of the larger camp areas, bring ear plugs! I slept for about 3 hours and woke up to the symphony of amourous felines and marauding dogs packs. Still, the experience is a must, the ‘wildlife’ just comes as part of the package.
