Day 89 Monday 14/12/09

After a quick visit under the thundery-looking clouds to Mount Nebo (just because we have never been there), we headed to Wadi Seer to look for some caves mentioned in the guide books. We found the “caves” – which were no more than carved-out rock shelters at the village of Iraq Al-Amir.


We then headed back towards Amman and further east to Al Azraq. This was an area of Jordan, near the borders of Saudi and Iraq, which we had not visited before. Arriving in the dark we went to the Shaumari Wildlife Reserve, where camping is permitted, only to find it closed for development. So heading back into Azraq we found a cheap hotel (15 JD) in this wild-west like town and went out to find some food. The town appears to be one main street that has a constant flow of HGV’s from Saudi passing through.
