The photo shows a desert flower in the Wadi Rum desert, Jordan. Topic: Nature and ecosystems. The Wadi Rum desert holds many gifts that we can discover if we enjoy the magic of this unique place with open eyes and open hearts.

We find the true magic of the desert on foot, off the beaten track. With open eyes and plenty of time for your silent secrets. Relaxed, a petite lizard enjoys the sun, traces of snakes can be found in the sand and all of a sudden a huge flock of pelicans flies over the barren desert. Sandstone, granite and pristine dunes of fine red sand alternate. A beautiful flower in nowhere and the penetrating gaze from two fox eyes are our gift from Wadi Rum. Whoever sets off on foot will feel it, the living breath of this desert.

Feel the magic of the Wadi Rum desert while traveling on foot. Time slows down and the silence reveals some secrets of the desert: 

  • Time travel of the stones: The sandstone and granite formations tell stories of millions of years. They remind us of how time has shaped the world and how fleeting our own existence is.
  • hourglass: A silent secret lies hidden in the pristine red sand dunes. The sand tells of the winds that have shaped it over centuries and teaches us patience and perseverance.
  • Silence of the desert: The silence of the desert is a precious gift. In this silence you can perceive the world with a relaxed mind and find inner peace.
  • Animals of the desert: Lizards, snakes and foxes that live in the desert are masters of adaptation. Wild animals teach us the importance of adapting to different life situations.
  • Desert flowers: The desert flower that blooms in this harsh environment shows us that beauty and life can thrive in even the most inhospitable places.
  • An unexpected gift: A flock of pelicans over the Wadi Rum desert is an unexpected and impressive gift. It shows us how nature constantly has surprises in store and how important it is to be open to new experiences.
  • Infinity: In the desert the horizon seems endless. This can encourage us to think about our own limitations and possibilities and how far we can go in our lives.
  • Touch of nature: The desert invites you to literally touch the earth. The feeling of fine sand in our hands reminds us of our connection to nature and the earth.
  • Fleeting of the moment: The magic of the desert teaches us to appreciate the present moment, because it can be as fleeting as a breeze. 
  • Loneliness of the vastness: In the endless desert you can feel tiny and lonely. This can encourage thinking about our relationship to the world and community and the importance of connecting with one another.

The Wadi Rum desert holds many gifts that we can discover if we enjoy the magic of this unique place with open eyes and open hearts.
