Wadi Rum also known as The Valley of the Moon Arabic is a val­ley cut into the sand­stone and granite rock in. Having four seasons climate like the land in the west, Jordan indeed is a very beautiful land on the banks of the Mediterranean sea.

I was captured by a 5 star tent in the desert with a big body man, called Shabullah helped me around getting this and that in that cold evening, I felt like some where in Mars.

The name of Wadi Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic root meaning ‘High’ or ‘elevated’.To catch its proper Arabic pronun­ciation, archaeologists even tran­scribe it as Wadi Ramm.

The highest elevation in Jordan is Jabal Umm ad Dami at 1,840 m (6,040 ft) high, located 30 kilome­tres south of Wadi Rum village. If we were lucky, we can be able to see a Zalabia Bedouin from Rum. On a clear day, it is possible to see the Red Sea and the Saudi border from the top.

Wadi Rum is home to the Za­labia Bedouin who works with climbers and trekkers, have made a success of developing eco-ad­venture tourism and now as their main source of income. The area is now one of Jordan’s important tourist destinations, and attracts an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly trekkers and climbers, but also for camel and sa­fari horses or simply day-trippers from Aqaba or Petra. Popular ac­tivities in the desert environment include camping under the stars, riding Arab horses, hiking and rock-climbing among the massive rock formations. ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles) and Jeeps are also avail­able and new camps have opened that offer adequate accommoda­tion for tourists.
