The rocky deserts of Wadi Rum have been described as ‘vast, echoing and God-like’ by TE Lawrence who got to know them well during the Arab Revolt.
Large rocky outcrops rise hundreds of metres out of the orange sands creating a landscape fitting for the film set of The Martian.
Head out into the sands with a local guide and see some of the natural wonders, clamber up the dunes and walk through tiny gorges in the rocks before watching the sunset and spending a night in a traditional tent under the huge starry sky - Wadi Rum is a must-add to any Jordan itinerary.
