A slight break in the itinerary for a more leisure day driving back to Amman. The return drive from Wadi Rum to Amman was around 4-5 hours. This was a more relaxing day for us. We left the camp after breakfast and made multiple stops along the way.

The tour company does a good job of breaking up the drives to make sure people have plenty of opportunity to use the bathroom and get snacks. We had lunch at the same “Midway Castle” that we did on the way down. Thankfully, this time people were far less sales-y and we were able to look at more things.

We were also relieved because this next hotel we would be at for three nights – so less unpacking just to repack. This was the same hotel we stayed at on the front part of our trip.

The room this time was much better than the first night, another small win!

We relaxed in our room before making our way over to the Amman International Hotel – that did have a full service bar and restaurant. A Russian woman was our server, and we enjoyed talking with her.

Just as our food was coming out, Steffan from our group walked in. We invited him and his wife Nicky, to join us. We sat around and had a lot of good conversations.
