Wadi Rum

Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, is a protected desert wilderness in southern Jordan that features dramatic sandstone mountains, natural arches, and ancient rock inscriptions. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers some of the most spectacular desert scenery in the world, with its red-pink sands, massive rock formations, and clear night skies. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times and was famously described by T.E. Lawrence as 'vast, echoing and god-like.' Today, it's home to Bedouin tribes who offer visitors authentic desert experiences through camps, jeep tours, and traditional hospitality.
