Passeggiate in cammello nel Wadi Rum: un'esperienza per sentirsi come un beduino
Se vuoi viaggiare nel deserto giordano non solo per ammirarne le bellezze naturali ma anche per sentirti come un altro beduino, allora c'è un'attività perfetta per te: una passeggiata in cammello nel Wadi Rum. In questa pagina ti raccontiamo in cosa consiste questa esperienza unica, che è anche un modo molto sostenibile per scoprire questa riserva naturale protetta dall'UNESCO.
Cosa sono le passeggiate in cammello nel Wadi Rum?
Passeggiate in cammello nel Wadi Rum Si tratta, in effetti, di passeggiate in cammello, l'animale tradizionalmente utilizzato dai nomadi beduini nel deserto, anche se la maggior parte di loro è ormai passata alle più comode e moderne jeep 4×4. In ogni caso, salire sul dorso di questo animale è il modo più sostenibile ed ecologico per esplorare questo spazio naturale, e in alcuni casi il più appropriato, poiché consente al viaggiatore di raggiungere angoli in cui il 4×4 non sempre può accedere.
La durata di una passeggiata in cammello nel Wadi Rum Dipende dal percorso da effettuare. In alcuni casi, il tour può durare anche solo un'ora e limitarsi a visitare i dintorni dell'accampamento beduino in cui il viaggiatore alloggia. Ma in altri casi, la passeggiata è concepita come uno strumento adeguato per visitare i luoghi più rappresentativi del parco, coprendo un'intera giornata (fino a 8 ore o più, in alcuni casi).
In questo modo, il giro su questi camelidi non sarà solo un'esperienza in sé, ma un mezzo per scoprire i segreti di questo famoso deserto: i suoi petroglifi incisi dagli antichi Nabatei, le "oasi" di vegetazione che sorgono nelle sue zone più fresche, i luoghi iconici legati a TE Lawrence (Lawrence d'Arabia), ecc.
La velocità raggiunta da un dromedario è, logicamente, inferiore a quella di un veicolo 4x4. Pertanto, ha un handicap: il viaggiatore non avrà molto tempo per fermarsi a fotografare i luoghi che attraversa. Tuttavia, il ritmo della camminata ti consentirà di godertela mentre avanzi e di entrare nella pelle dei nomadi che per secoli e millenni hanno percorso questi luoghi nelle loro rotte carovaniere.
Dove si svolgono questi tour?
Le passeggiate sui dromedari del Wadi Rum partono dal cuore di questa riserva naturale, solitamente da uno degli accampamenti beduini situati nell'entroterra, in particolare dal villaggio di Wadi Rum Village.
I luoghi che fanno parte del percorso dipendono dalla sua durata. Alcuni dei più notevoli sono Ain Abu Aineh (Lawrence Spring), la Red Sand Dune, alcuni dei suoi ponti di roccia o il canyon Khazali. Se il programma lo consente, il viaggio può anche portarti in luoghi elevati di particolare interesse per guardare il tramonto.
Cosa include questa attività e maggiori dettagli?
Passeggiate in cammello nel Wadi Rum Possono includere diversi servizi, a seconda del tipo di prenotazione. Di solito, tutte includono una bottiglia d'acqua per rinfrescarsi durante il percorso, ma se cerchi un'esperienza più completa e beduina, puoi noleggiare un pranzo o una cena in stile nomade, da gustare all'aperto e in mezzo al deserto.
Inoltre, questa attività può essere associata ad altre che si svolgono sempre in questa riserva naturale, come l'osservazione delle stelle, pernottamenti nel deserto o sessioni di spiritualità.
