Beduin herding goats in Wadi Rum, Jordan

After visiting Petra, a friend and I decided to stay in the Beduin camps in the Wadi Rum region of Jordan. Wadi Rum was made famous by Lawrence of Arabia, the British officer who lived here and served as liaison during the Arab Revolt against Ottoman Turkish rule in the beginning of the 20th century. My friend, Ben (the same friend who I was with with when I took the photo of the Brazilian man with the accordion), and I trekked all through the vast landscape, climbing rocks and getting lost (We literally got lost, but fortunately were rescued by a neighboring Beduin camp around sunset. But the rescue was late enough that we had already started plotting how we would survive the night outside in the elements!). This photo is of a Beduin herding his goats. Note his head scarf, which is a red and white checkered print. Jordanians wear these scarves in all different checkered colors, but the most popular are red and white, or black and white.
