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 :-)
