Jordan – Drive from Petra to Wadi Rum
Couple of points of interest that I want to share! First, is that in all my years living in Qatar, ONLY ONCE did I see a camel out on the desert, off the side of the road while driving! And that camel was being ridden by a farm hand behind a wire fence! I’m going…
Petra, Jordan – Part VII – The Rose-Red City
Soon after the Treasury you walk out of the Siq to the main city of Petra. I will be quoting the Petra map given to us at the Visitor Center at the start of the tour to describe each location. Our tour guide only took us as far as the Winged-Lion Temple. I honestly can’t…
Petra, Jordan – Part II – Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade – Location of Indy’s Horse Gallop Through the Siq
As we moved along the Siq, our guide told us this section of the gorge is the movie location where Indy gallops through the rock formations after Marcus’s bolting horse in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! I loved that scene, watching Indy gallop on a beautiful horse decorated in Arabic tradition, through these exotic rock formations! What an…

I love driving among luxury cars such as Bentley, Rolls Royce, McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Mercedes Benz, Aston Martin, Maserati, Land Rovers and Range Rovers….

Al Samariyah Equestrian Centre – Hack Ride – Bay Mare!
Bay Mare, as she is affectionately called, is one of the old girls at the stables. A good horse to ride, I’m told as I’m led to an arena to trot her out and get a feel for her. But I was startled to find this old mare was full of energy because she hadn’t…
