During winter, temperature in Wadi Rum at night could dropped to below 5 degree Celsius. Probably that's the reason for not offering sleeping under the star option during winter for visitors.
We were offered to stay overnight in Bedouins style Camps. This is the cafeteria where our meal be served.
There's a fire place to keep warm in this cold night.
Our main dish for dinner is Zarb - a traditional Bedouin underground cooking used by nomadic herding peoples in the Arabian Peninsula. Just like barbeque, the methods starts by digging a hole in the soft sand. Follow by burning down wood to coals, place the food over the coal and cover the hole with sand.
Vege that use the same cooking method.
Since the light pollution is minimum in the desert. Star gazing is a good idea in this near total dark place.
These were photos taken just by using my mobile.
I follow by using my dslr to capture the partial milky way.
Star gazing and astrophotography is an added advantage for staying overnight in Wadi Rum instead of just a day trip.
