Wadi Rum Holidays

Also known as the ‘Valley of the Moon’, the vast desertscape of Wadi Rum lies in the far south of Jordan on the western edge of the Arabian Desert and encompasses some of the most stunning and dramatic scenery in the country. Its sweeping red sands and ever-changing colours create an otherworldly landscape unlike anywhere else in the region.

Consisting of a series of arid canyons, narrow ravines, towering sandstone outcrops and naturally formed rock bridges, Wadi Rum is a fascinating place to explore, offering breathtaking panoramic views and unique desert accommodations that allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in its remarkable landscape.

The award-winning 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia initially put Wadi Rum on the map, and it has since become a favourite location for filmmakers and producers from around the world. Its dramatic terrain has provided the backdrop for numerous Hollywood blockbusters and continues to captivate those seeking spectacular desert scenery.
