), with its burnished sandstone
cliffs and vivid- coloured dunes, that impressed Lawrence of Arabia as he paced on camel
back through the land of the Bedouin. He was also impressed by the stoicism of the people
who endured hardships associated with a life in the desert. Today, it's possible to get a
glimpse of that traditional way of life, albeit with a few more creature comforts, by staying
in one of the Bedouin camps scattered across this desert wilderness.
