It was a shame that I didn't have any idea of Wadi Rum before
I traveled to Jordan. I decided to go there immediately when I saw
its unbelievable photos online by coincidence.
Wadi Rum, translating either as 'Valley of sand' or the 'Roman
Valley', the latter due to the propensity of Roman architecture in
the area, known as the Valley of the Moon, is a valley cut into the
sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan 60 km to the east of
Aqaba.
The area is one of Jordan's important tourist destinations,
and attracts an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly
trekkers and climbers, but also for camel and horse safari or
simply day-trippers from Aqaba or Petra.
Wadi Rum is the largest wadi in Jordan and it is also home to the Zalabia Bedouin who, working with climbers and trakkers, have made a success of developing eco-adventure tourism as their main source of income.
The area has been used as a background setting in a number of films. Filmmakers are particularly drawn to it for science fiction films set on Mars.
The Bedouin have climbed in the Sandstone mountains of Wadi
Rum for many generations. Many of their 'Bedouin Roads' have been
rediscovered and documented by modern
climbers.
The weather is always changing, so it is very difficult to
predict in desert. Fortunately, we were beaded with a light rain,
which rarely happened in dry season, however, it was sunshining a
few minutes ago.
We all were fascinated by the nature of landscape.
Its luxury camping retreats have also spurred more tourism to the area. Popular activities in the desert environment include camping under the stars, riding Arabian horses, hiking and rock-climbing among the massive rock formations. All Terrain Vehicles and Jeeps are also available and new camps have opened that offer accommodation for tourists.
We really had a wonderful time in Wadi Rum, but we had to leave for Petra.
The local driver was very funny. He asked us which countries we came from respectively when we got on the bus. Afterwards, he started to broadcast our National Anthems one by one. He quite overwhelmed us, so we all applaused no matter which national anthem was been playing.
2 or 3 hours later, we arrived at the world-famous ancient city -Petra.
