[Jordan Wadi Rum] Wadiram is listed as a natural and cultural mixed heritage, where the cultural heritage and natural scenery are unique. Sitting in a jeep, you often see a free-spirited camel strolling between the desert and the huge rocks. Fortunately, you will also encounter Arab antelopes with uncertainties. Of course, if you can meet the Bedouin here, the journey will be full of excitement. The beduin is a nomadic nation that rejects urban civilization and has long lived peacefully with the local natural miracles, creating a unique Arab culture for this quiet desert.

Welcome to Mars. Mars, I am coming! Wadi Rum is a desert hinterland in the ancient Jordanian city of Aqaba. It is famous for its beautiful, steep mountains and vast desert scenery. There are Ram Mountain, which is the highest peak in the Sharm area, and Shayuan, which is full of Arabian customs. It is this wonderful combination of mountains and deserts that makes Wadi Rum the best place to shoot Mars scenes. The rock formations and cliffs that are prominent in the long red sand make people feel like they are on another wonderful planet. It is no wonder that "Mars Rescue" is going to be photographed here. The ground sand powder can be used as blush, and the whole desert is lonely and lonely but charming. In fact, many movies were filmed in Wadi Rum before "Mars Rescue". In addition to the most famous "Lawrence of Arabia", there are "Transformers 2" and "Red Planet." However, in the eyes of geographers, Wadi Rum is more similar to the moon, they gave Wadi Rum a romantic name - "Moon Valley." This is because the surface shape of Wadi Rum is very similar to the crater on the surface of the moon. The peaks of the mountains are as fascinating as the mountains, and the sands are as vast as the forbidden land, such as the lunar surface. In reality, traveling to outer space planets is not an easy task, but unreachable things can be achieved in Wadi Rum.
