Be amazed by the preserved nature, its colors, its silence, its fauna and flora (desert mice, foxes, camels, birds, etc.). Discover the scenery you saw in movies filmed here (like Star Wars, Dune, Lawrence of Arabia, and The Martian). Admire the traces of ancient history (Nabateens, Early Islamic, Petroglyphs).

  3. Wadi Rum desert is dotted with towering high cliffs and stunningly shaped mountain. One of the spectacular natural phenomenon we have here is rock bridges. The Um Fruth rock bridge is one of the most photographed places in Wadi Rum. The bridge is about 15 meters up from the desert floor. The view from the top is worth it.

  4. Lawrence’s House in Wadi Rum is called so because TE Lawrence reportedly slept here during his time in the desert. As you visit Lawrence’s House, don’t forget to turn around! The structure resides at the top of a slope. The view from this place is stunning, with interesting shapes of the mountains across the valley.

About Aqaba

Aqaba is Jordan's only seaport, a warm Red Sea resort town at the head of its gulf, backed by desert mountains and near Wadi Rum and Petra.

Aqaba sits at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, at the north end of the Red Sea, with the mountains of Edom behind it and Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia on the other shores of the gulf. Jordan's only seaport, it has been a trading place since ancient times, and an early Islamic city, Ayla, has excavated remains on the seafront. The fort near the harbour dates from the Mamluk period, and Aqaba fell to the forces of the Arab Revolt in 1917.
