I was in Wadi Rum in Jordan recently, where many of the principle sequences 
of
LoA was shot. It is truly the most amazing place. I don't think that I have 
ever
been anywhere with comparable natural beauty. My daughter who is better
travelled than I completely agreed...I don't there's a TV to do it justice. 
It
might be interesting in VR though! I would encourage anyone to go ... and 
yes, I
do have photos and, yes, I SHOULD get round to posting them :-)
