The freedom granted by a car and the fact that we had no pressing schedule while in Jordan meant that we did quite a lot of random driving through the desert, in the vague hope that we'd stumble across the desert castles we knew had been left scattered around the region by the various powers that had at one point or another held a serious enough interest in this strip of sand to leave something for curious spirits to poke around in centuries (if not millenia) later.
The fairly casual relationship the Arabic nations seem to have with signage, and geography in general, didn't help; but it did give us an excuse to follow our noses and find all sorts of things (some of which looked like they were from the set of Mad Max...)
