Wadi Rum

Valley of the Moon

1-2 nights (combine with Petra)March to May, September to NovemberPlan this chapter →

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.

We also arrange bubble-camp nights beneath the Seven Pillars of Wisdom and the Burdah rock bridge, with Aqaba the gateway.
