Wadi Rum
Valley of the Moon

T.E. Lawrence called it vast, echoing, and godlike. Wadi Rum's sandstone monoliths, natural arches, and rust-red sand dunes create a landscape so otherworldly it has doubled for Mars in cinema. The Bedouin who have lived here for centuries now host travelers in desert camps where the night sky — undimmed by any light pollution — may be the most compelling attraction of all.
