A journey to Wadi Rum is like a journey to another world! A vast, silent place, timeless and starkly beautiful. This is why Wadi Rum is one of Jordan's major tourist attractions. It offers stunning desertscapes - one of a kind in the world. It lies about 320 km (199 miles) southwest of Amman, 120 km (75 miles) south of Petra, and only 68 km (42 miles) north of Aqaba city.
Here, one can see uniquely shaped massive mountains that rise vertically out of the pink desert sand. This separates one dark mass from another and this is what adds on to the magnificent desert scenery of strange breathtaking beauty with towering cliffs of weathered stone. One can see that the faces of the sheer rock cliffs have been eroded by the wind into faces of men, animals and monsters.
In short, this magical ecosystem in the Jordanian desert features sweeping red sand dunes and towering sandstone arches. This place is also known as the Valley of the Moon. Come here for fascinating pinkish-orange landscapes dotted with scrubby green plants, canyons, towering cliffs.
Magical , isn't it?
