Wadi Rum

A journey to Wadi Rum is a journey to another world, where one can escape the worries of everyday life and return to nature and the simple life. In this immense space, man is dwarfed into insignificance.

Vast, silent and timeless, Wadi Rum possesses one of the most beautiful desertscapes in the world. Nowhere else has a similar lunar landscape, it is more like living on the moon! Wadi Rum is a place of towering sandstone outcrops, with sheer red sides and rounded summits.

Unusual geological formations such as rock bridges are easy to find, the local wildlife less so, though ibex, hyrax, and Arabian Desert cats are all resident to the area.

Rock carvings mark the passage of ancient tribes in pre-history.

Thamudic inscriptions, burial mounds, ancient megaliths, ruined buildings abound, Nabataean rock carved stairways, dams, and temples can still be found throughout the area.

Local Bedouin tribes have now inhabited this area for a number of generations.

Visitors who are invited to share mint tea or cardamon coffee in a traditional Bedouin black tent, or perhaps sitting by the fire under a starry desert sky, will have an experience not to be forgotten.
