点评:We travelled from Petra to Wadi Rum by, first of all, the Desert Highway and then the King's Highway but our return journey from Wadi Rum to Amman was all along the King's Highway. Whereas the Desert Highway, as its name suggests, is through the desert, the King's Highway follows a significant route that is mentioned in the Bible. This was the route which Moses wanted to use when he was leading his people to the Promised Land but he was banned from using it by the King of Edom. Today, that historic route is a fairly fast road which winds its way through the central highlands. There are rest houses along the route. We used one called The Desert Castle Bazaar (near to Dabel Hanut). It was more of a tourist souvenir shop than a rest house but it did have a cafe and it made a welcome break for a drink and snack. The toilet facilities were also very clean.
翻译:我们从佩特拉前往瓦迪拉姆,首先是沙漠公路,然后是国王公路,但我们从瓦迪拉姆返回安曼的旅程全程都是沿着国王公路。沙漠公路,顾名思义,是穿越沙漠的公路,而国王公路则沿着圣经中提到的一条重要路线。这是摩西带领他的人民前往应许之地时想要走的路线,但他被以东王禁止使用。今天,这条历史悠久的路线是一条相当快的道路,蜿蜒穿过中部高地。沿途有休息室。我们去了一家名为沙漠城堡集市(靠近 Dabel Hanut)的休息室。它更像是一家旅游纪念品商店,而不是休息室,但里面有一个咖啡馆,可以在这里喝点东西、吃点东西,这是一个不错的休息场所。厕所设施也很干净。
