My boyfriend and I are planning to go there, but because of all the terrorist madness lately, we'd rather travel with other people. apparently you can just cross the border and hire a driver to take you and we're planning to go via Wadi Rum, which is supposed to be stunning.

we are probably going for 3 days, aiming to be back in Tel-Aviv by the 9th.

it would be much safer to go with 4 of us than 2!!

thanks
