    Hello Kiki! Great post and insight! Lots of awesome information! Just curious… what happened after they confiscated your drone? Did you get it back once you left the country? Thank you!

      So in Egypt, they held me for questioning for about 5 hours when I arrived, kept the drone, and I’m one of the only people I know who actually got my drone back. And it’s because I went 10 hours before my flight, had my local guide come with me to speak to the police and then I sat for 8 hours in questioning and barely made my flight. They only gave it back to me because I had a local guide who somehow knew the police officer. They don’t really ever plan on getting it back to you. I 100000% would NOT recommend doing this or testing if you can get away with bringing a drone somewhere where it’s not legal because you’ll likely get it confiscated, spend time in questioning and that money and time will just have gone down the drain.

      In Belize, they confiscated it when I arrived and I got it back on my way out — that was a lot easier than Egypt but this was YEARS ago. So I’m not sure what the situation is like now. I would absolutely not bring it through Egypt.

    Thanks for mentioning the DroneMate App! I will definitely use that in the future, especially when I get into FPV drone flying. Beautiful pictures, btw!

Ever wondered what it’s like to visit Mars without leaving Earth? 🚀

Welcome to Wadi Rum, Jordan — the red desert wonderland that feels like another planet. 🌌

From racing through the dunes on a 4x4 tour, to sleeping under the stars in a Martian-style tent 🛖✨, to soaring over the landscape in a hot air balloon at sunrise 🎈— this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Add Wadi Rum to your bucket list — you won’t believe it’s real until you see it.

Back in Jordan for the fourth time, and it continues to inspire me just as much as it did on my first visit in 2012! 🐪

Jordan remains one of my all-time favorite destinations thanks to its incredible diversity and rich cultural experiences.

From exploring the ancient city of Petra and floating in the healing waters of the Dead Sea, to discovering the vibrant streets of Amman, sleeping under the stars in the Wadi Rum desert, and scuba diving in the crystal-clear Red Sea in Aqaba—every journey here offers something unforgettable.

One experience I always recommend (and can’t wait to do again) is canyoning the Siq Trail in Wadi Mujib. 

There’s truly no place like Jordan. 🇯🇴✨
