Wadi Rum
Wadi Rum, the largest wadi valley in southern Jordan is a protected area covering 720 square kilometers of dramatic desert wilderness.
The huge mountains of sandstone and sheer-sided granite emerge from wide sandy valleys that reach heights of 1700 meters and more.
Narrow canyons and fissures cut deep into the mountains, many conceal ancient rock drawings etched by the peoples of the desert over millennia.
The Bedouin tribes still live among the mountains of Rum and their large goat-hair tents are a special feature of the landscape.
There are many ways to enjoy the beauty of Rum, including jeep, camel + hiking tours. The adventurous can stay overnight in a Bedouin tent, gazing at the amazing plethora of stars.
To safeguard its unique desert landscape, Wadi Rum was declared a protected area in1998 with an intensive conservation program now underway.
Wadi Rum is believed to have gotten its name from the early name of Iram of Pillars, a lost city or region mentioned in the Qur'an
Wadi Rum Location Descriptions
Sand dunes: large area of sand dunes piled up against the mountains with desert adapted plants. The Sand Dunes are fun to climb to the top and easy to slide down.
Rock bridge: A spectacular natural rock arch, with great views. It is possible to climb up to the Rock bridge and stand on top of the bridge, if you are brave enough.
Burrah canyon: A long, deep canyon between dramatic mountains with lots of sand in places. Very beautiful in early morning and in the late evening, when the sun turns the rock deep orange.
Alameleh Inscriptions: good example of ancient rock drawings, showing camels and wildlife.
Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A famous landmark, named after the book by T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia).
Siq Um Tawaqi: A short canyon containing a carving of the head of T. E. Lawrence.
Anfashieh inscriptions: this mountain is famous for its formations and inscription. Anfashieh has numerous Thamudic and Nabataen inscriptions, next to it drawings of animals, humans, and camel caravans.
Sunset sites (Al Ghuroub ): Includes different locations depending on which season of winter or summer. Visitors can enjoy a spectacular sunset, leaving behind the stresses from work and enjoy the serenity of the rum.
