UNDER A BEDOUIN TENT (JORDAN)

Sleep under the stars, out in a Bedouin tent in the heart of the impressive desert of Wadi Rum, 66 in the south of Jordan, which was the setting for many films, including Lawrence of Arabia. Hard to find part more spectacular, especially when the sun disappears behind the sandstone rocks that seem to spring from the sand. Most Bedouin camps are for tourists, which somewhat limits the authenticity of the experience. However, after a feast with roasted meats, what a pleasure to bask in a goatskin tent, surrounded by multicolored rugs and cushions. 
Starting from Aqaba or Petra, head to Wadi Rum where the Bedouin will offer to encamp in the wilderness.

GRAND DADDY HOTEL(SOUTH AFRICA)

Placed on the roof of the Grand Daddy Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa, seven vintage Airstream caravans, emblematic of the American dream, with all their shiny aluminum, are waiting for an unexpected trip. In the background, the Table Mountain. The interior has been luxuriously restored by artists from Cape Town, with a whimsy, a cheerfulness and humor carry. What carrier you push? That of Afrofunk, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the Ballad of John and Yoko? Nod to the famous song Imagine, the bed occupies three-quarters of that caravan, bathed in white.
The hotel vibrates whole amazingly creative touches on South African designers (www.daddylonglegs.co.za).
