			This site is about Wadi Rum, Jordan.   There are trip reports about rock climbing in Wadi Rum.   There are links to other sites about Wadi Rum.   Most importantly, this site exists to share INFORMATION about   Wadi Rum, and about the plans for new rules and regs which would   restrict camping/climbing/trekking, and also adversely affect the   local people.   I hope to encourage people to write letters and e-mails to the authorities.   I give sample letters and e-mails, and would like to publish yours here if   you send them to me.      I would also like to encourage discussion of these proposals.   I don't have the skills to make a message board, but if you e-mail me   your comments, I will post them on here.   Here is a long  paper by Geraldine Chatelard about Wadi Rum.   Later, I hope to have interviews with some of the people of Wadi Rum,   a French-language version, and a  photo gallery - when I get a slide   scanner.
					This is my first-ever attempt at a website, and it is still under construction,so please bear with me, but tell me about any problems. And excuse me if I'm slow to respond, but from April 2002 I'm off on a 9-month climbing trip ! Kate   I am sorry about the annoying pop-up adverts, but I needed a        free place to put my site, with easy-to-use software. If you want to download a free program which will stop any popup windows from opening, go here and type in "popup killer" It really works !
