Imagine being in a place where you can hear a pin drop from 100 meters away. There are places on this planet that through some virtuous combination of wind and sky, earth and rock, have a numinous quality all their own. Wadi Rum is one of those places. It is a natural sanctuary, which bids every visitor to fall silent and just be. Be transcended into the painter’s palette as nature use the silence around you as it’s own canvas, in ways you could never imagine. Being alone in Wadi Rum, is a reminder of the luxury of personal privacy; the kind of intense privacy that only complete solitude can create. It is clear how landscapes such as Wadi Rum can alter perceptions and intensify a person’s conceptual frame of reference. But for the sound of gentle breezes or winds, the soundlessness of Wadi Rum can be intoxicating; the stuff of epiphanies. The incredible shades of red, orange and brown under the blue sky, the tranquility when you can actually hear the silence make this place really unearthly.
