This is the famous Wadi Rum Desert located not far from the coastal city of Aqaba (there is airport with cheap flights there). It looks alien. You can believe this view is on our planet. For seconds you feel like you are on Mars and with every next stop of the tour it comes even more rare and beautiful. #happynewyear

[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.

Wadi Rum is one of Jordan's most enchanting deserts, featuring magnificent red rocks and endless golden dunes. Traverse the desert in a 4x4 vehicle to feel the thrill of the wind rushing past your ears, or take a leisurely camel ride, as if you were in another world. At dusk, the entire desert is bathed in deep red by the setting sun, creating a breathtaking view. Nighttime offers an excellent opportunity for stargazing, with the Milky Way clearly visible in the light pollution-free environment. Staying in a Bedouin tent, savoring traditional cuisine, and experiencing the local culture is the most unforgettable part of the trip. This place is not only the filming location for the movie 'The Martian' but also a natural wonder that is definitely worth a visit!

During my time in Wadi Rum, I had the incredible opportunity to stay at the Wadi Rum Desert Bird Camp, and I can confidently say it’s the best place to stay in the desert at a great price. The camp offers an authentic experience with comfortable tents and amazing views of the desert landscape. 🌄 What made it even better was the jeep tour they provide — it’s an absolute must! The ride through the desert was thrilling, and the sights of the sand dunes, rock formations, and ancient petroglyphs were simply unforgettable. 🚙 If you’re heading to Wadi Rum, I highly recommend staying at Wadi Rum Bird Camp for a truly memorable experience, full of adventure and serenity. Plus, you can’t beat the price for the quality of service and the amazing views! 🌟 #celebrateit

Watching the sunrise in Wadi Rum was one of the most breathtaking experiences of my trip to Jordan. The desert landscape transformed as the first rays of light painted the rugged mountains and vast sand dunes in warm hues of orange and red. There’s something magical about the quiet of the desert at dawn, and the air was crisp and fresh, offering a peaceful start to the day. 🌅 As the sun rose higher, the desert came to life, and the colors shifted, creating a dramatic contrast against the silent beauty of the surroundings. The solitude of the desert at that time made it even more special — I didn’t see another soul, just the vastness of the landscape unfolding before me. 🌵 If you’re planning a visit to Wadi Rum, don’t miss the sunrise. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment that truly captures the magic of this incredible desert. ✨ #celebrateit

You can walk through the village and its surroundings, where the views of the mountains and desert are absolutely stunning. 🏞️ One of the highlights of the walk is discovering ancient carvings in the rocks—these petroglyphs or rock engravings are fascinating glimpses into the region’s long history.

If you're ever in Jordan, Wadi Rum is an absolute must-see, and the best way to explore it is with a jeep tour in the afternoon. 🏜️ I visited in May, and the weather was perfect—not too hot, making it an ideal time for the adventure. The afternoon tour is the best because the temperatures are milder, and the golden desert views as the sun begins to set are beyond words! 🌞 The tour is an unforgettable experience as you get to drive through some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, with towering rock formations and vast stretches of desert. The jeep allows you to cover a lot of ground, and the guide can take you to hidden spots where you'll feel like you're on another planet. 🌍 This trip was one of the highlights of my visit to Jordan, and I can't recommend it enough.

It was an unforgettable experience.

#summerdestinations #wadirum Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, is a desert valley located in southern Jordan. It is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, characterized by towering sandstone and granite rock formations, vast stretches of red sand, and dramatic canyons. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with evidence of human activity dating back to at least 12,000 years ago. Wadi Rum is part of the larger Wadi Rum Protected Area, which covers 720 square kilometers and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2011. The site is significant for its natural and cultural heritage, including numerous ancient rock carvings, inscriptions, and archaeological remains that provide insights into the region's history and the people who lived there. The landscape of Wadi Rum has made it a popular location for film productions, with notable movies such as "Lawrence of Arabia," "The Martian," and "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" being filmed there. The desert's unique and otherworldly appearance often serves as a stand-in for alien planets and distant worlds. Visitors to Wadi Rum can experience a range of activities, including camel treks, jeep tours, rock climbing, and hiking. The area is also known for its clear night skies, making it an ideal spot for stargazing.

In Wadi Rum, Jordan, you will feel as if you are on Mars with its unique terrain and breathtaking starry sky. Here, there is a hint of rose red that is more than the Sahara and Chile's Atacama Desert. The steep rocky peaks and brilliant starry sky make it the most unmissable destination in Jordan besides the ancient city of Petra. We chose to stay at Wadi Rum Night Luxury Camp, where the facilities are quite good for Wadi Rum, with large tents offering air conditioning and even a bathing area. Although our tent did not have air conditioning, we were out exploring during the day, and the desert climate was cool and pleasant at night. They also offer star rooms, which need to be booked in advance. The food is quite good, with rice and fruit included. The accommodation price is about 200-300 dollars. We rented a car directly from the ancient city of Petra to Wadi Rum, where the hotel staff greeted us and offered full-day and half-day tour options. The itinerary includes major attractions such as mushroom-shaped rocks, large arches, and small arches. Climbing up and down is required, so it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. There is also a rock crevice for hiking, but I chose not to enter due to its damp and dark conditions. The locals drew graffiti on my hand, saying that this desert has a tenacious vitality. We tasted locally brewed tea and freshly baked bread, chatting about carefree topics. Although the weather was hot during the day, it did not feel unbearable. You must not miss the sunset in Wadi Rum. We climbed up high sand dunes with great effort, standing on the top of the rocks overlooking the entire desert. The distant sunset gradually sank, and the shadow of the rocky mountains slowly covered this barren land. There were also Bedouins playing a flute with a faint melancholy sound, evoking ancient memories. When descending the dunes, you can try sliding down with the help of gravity, which is an exhilarating experience. The most beautiful night in Wadi Rum, the dry climate makes the starry sky particularly bright. Looking up at the Milky Way outside the tent, you inadvertently catch a meteor, counting meteors until you fall asleep, as if you were in outer space. After having an open-air breakfast in the desert the next day, we tried sandboarding on the dunes, which was very challenging but great fun. The local guy patiently helped me carry the board to the top of the hill and slide down again. Jordan is among the top three of the more than 50 countries I have visited. Although there are some tourist traps, the natural and cultural landscapes are rich and unique. This small country can be easily toured by car. To this day, I still miss and marvel at the sunset and starry sky of Wadi Rum. The world was once so beautiful and will always be beautiful.
