11/3/2022 0 Comments Sunrise camel tourI am not a morning person. Especially a 5:30am wakeup call person. However, riding a camel into the desert to watch the sunrise, WORTH IT. We got up sooooo early this morning, and headed over to the main camp building where we met our tour guide and transportation for the morning- camels. Being my second camel ride I thought I would be an expert and more prepared for the jolting of getting up and down...I was wrong. It was still sooo scary haha. But I was on the 'baby' camel of the group and that made me happy seeing as I'm the youngest in the group as well. When I went to get on my camel, Jona's camel behind me decided it liked my head and started bonking me haha. Once we were all up, we headed out of the camp and on our journey into the desert. It was still very dark at this point, and we weren't really sure to be honest where we were going, but that didn't matter because the view was so beautiful. We venture out for about thirty minutes, when the guide stops us at a nice spot, we get down from the camels, and sit on a blanket to watch the sunrise. Unfortunately my stomach started getting a little unsettled so I wasn't altogether there and enjoying the moment, but I pushed through and it was simply beautiful. We sat together in silence and watched as the sun rose over the peaks of the rocks and it was such a peaceful end to our trip. Tons of pictures and videos were taken, many below. I will say none of us are in love with how we looked in them because it was now 6am and we all looked a bit of a mess, but that didn't matter. We all just took pleasure in the moment that we were in the freaking desert, on camels, watching the sunrise. I don't know if I'll ever get to experience that again, but I certainly hope I do. All in all, it was the perfect way for our Southern trip of Jordan to end.
