A Date With a Fish

Sophie Grigson and Hanan Samara search out more locations associated with T. E. Lawrence in Ma'an. Here they visit the ancient Hajj fortress, the old railway famous from the David Lean movie and one of Jordan's most famous date estates, Al-Baraka, a family run estate which boasts of some of the best varieties of dates. After cooking there a magnificent date-based meal, the intrepid duo head further south to the deep desert, the area known as Wadi Rum, particularly famous for being the scene of much of Jordan's recent history involving Lawrence of Arabia. Sophie and Hanan meet Salem and his brother who take them on a wild journey through this magical desert kingdom ending in a traditional hole-in-the-ground cooked 'zerb' dinner under the stars.
