Bedouin Guide with Camels in Wadi Rum, Jordan

This is Abdullah, the young Bedouin who guided me through Wadi Rum in Jordan. With 31 brothers and sisters, he told me he likes the freedom of being in the desert the most. After some time here, I came to understand why. During the day, the only sounds were some birds and the wind. And, at night, there was absolutely no noise at all. / @passionpassport #PPLocalExpert
