Day 4 : Aqaba > Wadi Rum


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

AQABA. Aqaba ni pantai and it is the border of 3 states ; Jordan, Egypt and Israel. Sampai Aqaba tu, hari ketiga lagi. Dari Petra terus ke Aqaba. Malam tu checked-in hotel. Hotel murah-murah je. Penting, selesa. Lepas checked-in and tukar pakaian, terus keluar pusing Aqaba. Malam tu, shopping cari souvenirs jee. Keluar pun dah lambat. dalam 9 setengah. So, boleh pusing dalam 2 jam je lah sebab kedai pun dah tutup. Hah, I bought a pair of shoe and a comforter. Hee. *comforter kat Mesir ni mahal* At midnight, balik hotel. 

Next morning, kami naik glass boat. Wohooo! best oh. boleh tengok marines world from the boat. Cantik! :D Hah, there was a spot where a kereta-kebal was placed underwater. Just for attraction when riding the glass boat. Weird tho. Hehe. Tak apa lah. Still fun. Memang sangat seronok watching the fish and nemo and dory swimming heavenly underneath. I also saw a lionfish. Ya Allah, sangat cantik as I adore it very much *.* 

After we bought breakfast and lunch, we checked out hotel, got in bus and stop awhile at China Town. Kat China Town tu beli barang sikit, sebab harga murah. biasalah, Chinese goods. and I bought a box and a shoe rack (?) Hehe. Then, we went straight to Wadi Rum.
Fuhh, Wadi Rum was indeed magnificent and collected me with happy memorable memories. Wadi Rum ni padang pasir. A great canyon with variables shape of huge rock and hills. Ah, and the sands at Wadi Rum is acknowledged as the finest sand in the world. Whoah! :D

Sesampai di Wadi Rum, kami naik jeep. Disebabkan jumlah peserta yang agak ramai, so, ada dua jeep and we divided into two groups. Kat Wadi Rum, ada 7 tempat perhentian (checkpoint). dan setiap peserta hanya boleh pilih 3 check point sekali masuk. Kami pilih checkpoint 3 terawal + sunset site. So, semuanya 4 checkpoint. Nasib baik tour-guide tu baik. He brought us to as many places as he could in the time given. Hm, 1st check point, kita orang pergi kat hot spring. Sampai kat situ, tak nampak air pun, ada paip je. Then guide tu cakap air nya kat atas bukit, so diorang alirkan thru the pipe. Boleh lah sentuh air tu, tapi dari paip lah. Masa kat stop tu, kami solat ramai-ramai atas padang pasir. :') Lepas tu, kami ke Bukit Pasir. Memandangkan pasirnya pasir terhalus di dunia, pendakian ke atas tu agak mengambil masa. Yelah, baru pijak sikit dah tenggelam. Macam walk in the snow gitu. Eceh. Tapi, berjaya jugak kami ke puncak tu. Hehe. Berphoto shoot kejap, then kami pun turun. Haha, #funnymoments : Muraqib kata kalau nak turun kena slide, and ada beberapa yang membuat cubaan lungsur atas pasir. Hehe. Nak lungsur ke bawah, memang lah tak. Haha! Naiveeee.  :D

Hmm. macam biasa, turun lagi cepat dari naik. Hehe. Next checkpoint, a cave. The cave is one of the famous filming site. Dalam cave tu, ada ukiran-ukiran purba. Ukiran manusia. There was also a foot-print on a rock inside the cave. Kagum. The most valuable historical prove was there were also the inscription of the Holy Al-Quran. Subhanallah. Subhanallah. Subhanallah. :') Not one but two. and also, there was a kalimah syahadah engraved on the rock. :D See? Islam was there before we were born. Islam is the one and only religion. and It is the way of life. Thats why it was engraved there. Teach ancient peoples on how to lead life until its develop to this day. Allahuakbar!

Alright, lepas keluar dari gua tu, matahari kat sunsets sites dah selamat terbenam. Tapi, oleh sebab tour guide kami yang ohsem, dia speed up the jeep to the site where the sun was not yet set. Huhu. Alhamdulillah, dapat jugak tengok sunset walaupun agak terlambat. I could saw the obvious aurora from the panorama. Maginificent! :') Hmm. selepas matahari selamat terbenam, the guide tu bawa kami ke kampung dalam Wadi Rum.  Masa tu dah gelap dah, and the other jeep dah tunggu kat entrance, tapi guide tu still bawa kami ke tempat lain. kan dah cakap ohsem! Hehe!  I was actually never knew that there were still natives living in here. As nak masuk Wadi Rum pun kena bayar. -.- Hmm, after that we went to a remains of temple near the village. He also showed us the two graves of ancient Muslims. It was the last stop before we headed back to the entrance. :D Naik je bas terus makan nasi and tido. Perjalanan pun jauh lagi. Ada 6 jam untuk sampai ke Mafraq balik.

Whoah, Wadi Rum sangat awesomeee! Best sangat. Semua pun sporting jee. There were laughter and jokes that I still remember. and they still making me smile as I flashed back. Hehe. It was the end of jaulah. We went straight back to sakan from Wadi Rum. All the way back to Mafraq, I slept soundlessly ^^
Good times.
