4Wadi Rum, Jordan
Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, is a desert valley in southern Jordan that captivates visitors with its striking red sandstone cliffs, dramatic canyons, and wide open spaces. Its beauty lies in the unique rock formations sculpted by wind and erosion, creating natural arches and towering monoliths that appear to glow under the desert sun.
Wadi Rum has a rich history, having been inhabited by Bedouin tribes for thousands of years. Visitors can explore the desert by jeep or on camelback, camp under the stars in traditional Bedouin tents, and experience the silence and vastness of the landscape that famously inspired films like Lawrence of Arabia and The Martian.
