Watch Intrepid Journeys online: Episode 2 Danielle Cormack - Syria, Jordan

Actor Danielle Cormack spends a night in the desert of Wadi Rum, where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed. She visits Bedouins living and farming in the desert in traditional nomadic style and stays in a traditional desert tent where her dinner is cooked in an underground oven. Cormack is also invited into the house of a group of Syrian women. Over coffee, there is a chance to learn something of the communal life of five generations of this family. The Grandmother wears the traditional hand tattoos while her Granddaughter speaks English and wears western style clothing along with her headscarf. Cormack sees the ruins of Petra and then goes to the village the government forced those who used to live in among the ruins to go to. She goes inside the house of the local Sheik, meets his wife, sees her kitchen and is asked to be his 8th wife despite him being in his 80’s.
