A little About Wadi-Rum

Known as the Valley of the Moon, Wadi Rum's surreal desert landscape of towering sandstone mountains and vast red dunes will transport you to another world. This UNESCO-protected wilderness has been home to Bedouin tribes for centuries and served as the backdrop for Lawrence of Arabia. Experience authentic Bedouin hospitality in luxury camps, ride camels at sunset, go rock scrambling to ancient petroglyphs, and sleep under a blanket of stars. The Mars-like terrain has even been used for space mission simulations. #WadiRum #DesertAdventure #Stargazing #Jordan
