Is that a mud brick roof we can see there ?

It is so different to our building styles.

cheers and thanks

Great pics lebanon, your county with sliding windows reminds me of the one I owned in the uk, I much prefer the sliding windows to wind up ones.
Great trailer too ;)

Hi,

Jerryd: The one county with sliding windows is the rpide and joy of a friend of mine, this landy has the vacuum operated central diff lock.

Austastar: it is not a mud brick roof, it is made of normal brick as the rest of the castle, by the way it is called Touba Castle ( 31°19'31.62"N 36°34'21.70"E) one of three castles (Amra 31°48'7.77"N 36°35'10.67"E and Kharana 31°43'43.21"N 36°27'45.60"E) scattered in the Jordanian desert that were used as hunting relays.

Some more picture of the desert crossing in Jordan.

I hope you are enjoying

Hi, any chance of dropping in a gps track of some of these trips?
I would be interesting to 'fly' them in google earth.
I might even learn some geography.
cheers

Thanks Lebanon,

Fantastic thread, I thought we were blessed here in Australia with fantastic places to go and see. You've opened my eyes up:eek:

Keep the pics comming mate!!

Hello austastar,

I have attached a GPS file of a part of the trip, This part covers the the trail in wadi rum to Petra than to the Dead Sea where we visited the Baptism site to finally reach Amman. I am sorry for the last part as we were searching for our hotel for spending the night. Unhappily the part covering the crossing and the visit of the desert castle was not recorded on the GPS that finally passed away. My advise here is to always have a reliable back up to modern electronic devices and to know how to use it.
Attached is a picture showing us using a compass to find our way in the desert after we had lost the GPS.

kindly could you explain how you fly these files on GE?

Regards

Hello Dolphint,

I thank you for your post.

I am personally amazed by the beauty of Australia and I hope that one day I will be able to drive the outback. To tell the truth I haven't visited a single country where I wasn't caught by its natural beauty. Unhappily ugliness is man made.

Hello Lebanon,
Can you tell me the current price of fuel there at the moment?
With some luck we will be there later this year driving overland.
Love your pictures.

Hello RedRocket,

the fuel prices are as follows:

Petrol Super 11 JD

If you wish I could help you with planing the trip.
