Hike, sweat, climb, repeat.
Our weekend girls camping trip* to Mada'in Saleh, a pre-Islamic archeological site in Saudi Arabia, was amazing! (A-MAY-ZING!).
*These are not words I've ever used together. Or separately.
I've
seen photos of the ancient city of Petra carved into the rocks in
Jordan, but the Nabataean civilization existed further south, into the
Al Madinah region, and became Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage
Site.
Though I lived in Southern Alabama for over ten years, I'm reasonably sure being outside when it's 117 degrees Fahrenheit surpasses any heat index I've ever felt. And when you think you couldn't possibly get any hotter? Throw on a black polyester abaya to hold in all your body heat from the neck down.
Watch my movie trailer: Mada'in Saleh.
Trust me, there will be way less sweat involved this way.
