My Trip to the Wadi Rum Desert

Philip sounds like he is recording a video although his mom told him to go to bed, and is expecting her to barge in the door at any moment

Like many of your viewers I am one that watches basically all of your videos yet bairly comments under them. I often leave a like if the video was especially nice but merely do I leave a comment. Today I want to leave yet another comment once again as I think that the gratitude for your videos is often now shown enough. I dont know if you will ever read this comment or if it will get lost in the vast amount of comments under this video but I just wanted to let you know that we dont take these videos for granted and that they are very interesting and it is so nice to be apart of this very fascinating journey that you experienced in the Wadi Rum Desert. Thank you for making and sharing this video Philip, just like all the other ones you constistantly make :)

[@diccchees7847]

"if you were to be randomly teleported to anywhere in the world right now, you could do alot worse than to choose somewhere in the Wadi Rum desert" If that happens, i'd probably just say that i'm Mark, would be alot easier to explain than being teleported there

With all the wars and politics surrounding the Middle East it's sometimes hard to remember that there are kind and generous people everywhere, despite what some people might tell you.

[@GreenGoblinCoryintheHouse]

People judge things they way they are presented. Media tells everyone middle East is a desert with lots of oil,Islam and people fighting everyone with guns. There's always good and bad side, nothing's flawless.

[@rekius328]

yeah its just a shame that people think 90 percent of the middle east is deserts, oil and people being blown up but if you actually go to many friendly places like Jordan there's a lot of good people that will welcome you

[@dungeon5028]

Jordan is very peaceful. Many people will sell you overpriced things, but nobody is really mean or bad in anyway.

"maybe I could just walk from las vegas to hoover dam" Look, if you wanna do that, just make sure not to pick up any courier jobs. Trust me, they're a real kick in the head.

It feels so weird to watch this video 2 years after the pandemic started. I like it, it feels like a distant world that no longer exist. Weird.

Thank you mr philip

[@thecowofbeef]

Dank memes of the desert sounds like an invite only Facebook page.

[@uosisnarvydas2723]

Brings me so many mermoies. I’ve been there last winter, amazing place. It isn’t as touristy in winter. And the temperature is great: hot in the middle of the day and kinda cold in the evening. The dune was one of my favourite places. I ran down at full speed in a steep slope and it was amazing. Unimaginable feeling. Felt like flying. Ypu feel that you are going to fall down, but you just get faster. Tried doing it for a secount time while filming with my phone, but I fell down and it was kinda painful. I also climbed a big rock next to the dune. Wasn’t easy even if i’m a good climber. When you do it you feel like on of the special people who did it. Wadi run and petra are amazing place for not professional climbing. Also because we were the few people of the dune it was much much better than it your video with tens of cars. Nobody bpmay read but i just love writing this because it brings me many memories

[@georgehenson2412]

There's something about your perspective that I just love. You're always so introspective on things, willing to think about the real world and ask questions that might be difficult to answer. In trying to understand the Bedouin people, I think you've elevated this from a tourist trip to a real experience that means something. I really appreciate your videos like this.

Your videos absolutely don't get nearly enough attention. These are quality, well thought out, entertaining but *just* educational enough to be interesting while not being boring, videos and I can't stress enough how much I appreciate them. Keep it up!

Such a humble, kind, and enthusiastic traveller you are, Philip. You give respect to the places you visit, and bring us memories that make us feel as if we were there beside you in the moment. Kudos, you magnificent Storyteller!

Just got back from Jordan and Wadi Rum was easily the best day. Great country in general and I probably would never have went if I didn't stumble across these videos 👍

[@jdlaurence9900]

I too loved my visit to Wadi Rum. Incredible experience. The People of Jordan are loving and open to visitors. Go ! You will never be the same afterwards. This American has had his view of the Middle East changed dramatically ! 🇯🇴❤🥳😊

You are a beautiful story teller. Please more of this. You make me want to visit these places too, also I always thought that desserts are boring places.

When I was at the Wadi Rum desert they gave us sand boards which I sat on a rode down the sand dunes. Hours of fun for little me

[@shinren_]

I dont get how you can slide on sand though? How does it work

Oroach it’s very fine sand, and with a wide board it can easily slide on the sand.

[@plaidpvcpipe3792]

It must be amazing there. I can imagine how cool it could be, but it is most likely more astounding than anyone would think.

[@kitchenjail3546]

Ah yes. Wadi Rum. I was there as well. A great experience, although our sleepibg arrangements were a bit more basic, or, more authentic, to be precise. But, being a train nut, my favorite part was the reenacment of that one time Lawrence of Arabia stopped an Ottoman military train at Wadi Rum station, featuring a steam locomotive. Lovely stuff.

[@henrysu1085]

Thank you for this video Philip, as always your videos are thoughtfully done and insightful.

[@LoordeGG]

[@fvux5393]

Funny thing, You can easily reach that second arch. There's a scramblign route up there. If you don't have good balance, there's places to tie ropes to. If you are okay with balance, its an easy hike up there! The view is amazing!

"I was mortified, we were traveling Rianair" I understand my Dad's pain when I got given big things on holiday. (as a child)

[@zephirus4483]

I've been two times in the desert. Not this one, it was in the Sinai desert. We didn't have cars, instead, we walked between sites and camped outside. Falling asleep while seeing the stars is amazing and the gigantism of the place really feels magical. No lights, no noise or cars... Just the beautiful landscape, amazing people and the stars. It really was an amazing experience and I do recommend it to everyone. It's really a shame that Egypt has this reputation in western countries, it's not this hostile country most people picture in their minds. Same thing for bedouins, they're seen as cultureless homeless people by the rest of egypt because of their simpler lives. I found them very touching, being so happy with what they have, not endlessly seeking for more. They were also very welcoming, really wished I know arab.

[@iftea7]

Stunning landscape, what a beautiful place. Thanks for the journey. I don't know what the music track was, hoping someone in the comments wrote about it 'cos it was so peaceful.

[@aquaticpears3183]

[@gregorywhatley9659]

I'm not the only one who thought Lawrence of Arabia looks like Phillip? Loving these holiday video diaries mate, strikes me as a fantastic way to save the memories. I've wanted to do it myself for a while but lack the motivation to edit it all together lol Cause I can always do it another time right, and there are video games to be played now

You could easily walk from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam. You'd just have to come prepared with water, snacks, a day to spare and a willingness to feel pretty tired and used up by the end of it.

Amazing video, Philip! It's as if I turned on the TV and watched a very short documentary :D

[@piggosalternateaccount4917]

Extremely beautiful, I adore the geography of the region. Just a stunning place. Battlefield 1's Egyptian maps (aside from the Suez) are highly inspired by the region and it shows, if only more games would be willing to take a chance and go somewhere very exotic like this! Then again, not many gameplay opportunities apart from cars. Mad Max's dried up sea is one of my favourite game worlds of all time and was highly inspired by this too

[@qwuzzy]

[@MidnightSt]

Btw, actually, drinking warm liquids in desert is better for your body and hydration than drinking cold ones. I don't remember why exactly it is anymore, but it's got something to do with how it makes your metabolism react, something maybe along the lines that the cold liquid, your body will use primarily as heat dump, so it'll dump its excess heat into it and then it'll want to expel that liquid out very fast, while the warm one will be retained since it can't be used like this, and it'll go through the proper full metabolism route instead.

[@nevin3543]

Great video yet again Philip. Me, and I'm guessing a lot of other people, are really enjoying these "trip to" videos.

[@Yupppi]

More than "can I see from here to there and walk from here to there" and then saying "I can do this as well because it's in the same screen", might be more useful to consider the time spent walking that bit and then scaling it to the desired trip and add 30% for possibly more difficult terrain. I feel like that gives a great idea of what kind of a walk it would really be. Like "ha that's only 30 minutes of walking... oh, in that case this is 8 hours".

[@Bilder_Rausch]

kliksphilip in the Hammer Edior I have challenged the limits of the source engine as a little boy! I always created a huge platform with a desert texture...

damn its busy there. When i was there in 2017 i was literally the only person at all those sites. Except a group of 6 western university girl students who were studying in amman who we ran into a couple times that day. It seems like a different experience when its almost only you and no other vehicles. felt like it was actually a deserted dessert. The girl and i were the only people who i saw at those tea huts.
