WADI RUM, ANOTHER PLANET
Wadi Rum, as its name suggests, is a valley carved by the erosion of a river in the sandstone and granite rocks. It is located in the South of Jordan, 2 hours from Petra. This desert is known all over the world for its natural arches, its blazing mountains and its sand dunes varying between red, orange and yellow. Wadi Rum has 154 archaeological sites, more than 20,000 petroglyphs and inscriptions that trace the beginnings of alphabetic writing and which testify of the first occupation by the Nabatean people 120 centuries ago.
Also called “Valley of the Moon”, Wadi Rum became a protected area and in 2011 it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is a masterpiece of nature and a unique desert. At first glance you will fall under its charm. Made famous thanks to Lawrence of Arabia, a British officer present in this desert during the Arab revolt at the beginning of the 20th century. During your visit you can find many sites tracing its history.
Wadi Rum is today an essential location for the shooting of cult movies such as:
Lawrence of Arabia in 1962
Alone on Mars 2015
Star Wars and Aladdin in 2019
Dunes in 2020
These landscapes are often compared to the planet Mars.
