Wadi Rum Jordan - a photo on Flickriver

Wadi Rum Jordan

            Wadi Rum, known also as the Valley of the Moon, is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan, near the border to Saudi Arabia and about 60 km to the east of the city of Aqaba. With an area of 720 km2 it is the largest wadi in Jordan.

Several prehistoric civilizations left petroglyphs, rock inscriptions and ruins in Wadi Rum. Today it is a tourist attraction, offering guided tours, hiking and rock climbing. The Wadi Rum Protected Area has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011.

Here also is where Star Wars and The Martian scenes were shot.

Wadi Rum may be best known for its connection with British officer T. E. Lawrence, who passed through several times during the Arab Revolt of 1917–18.

Toursits can choose between bedouins style camps located in the desert or glamping hotels.

It is also an amazing place to see the stars as the night is almost pitch black.
