Wadi Rum is Jordan’s largest desert and one of the most spectacular desert landscapes in the world. Stunning in its natural beauty, Wadi Rum epitomizes the romance of the desert. With its "moonscape" of ancient valleys and towering sandstone mountains rising out of the sand, Wadi Rum is also home to several Bedouin tribes who live in scattered camps throughout the area. Climbers are especially attracted to Wadi Rum because of its sheer granite and sandstone cliffs, while hikers enjoy its vast empty spaces. Much of David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia was filmed in Wadi Rum. Camels are available which you can hire for short excursions. However, the vast silence and grandeur of the landscape is best experienced on foot!
