Visiting Wadi Rum was an amazing experience. The stunning desert landscape and massive rocks made me feel like I was in a movie. The natural beauty here is breathtaking. The colors and terrain are wonderfully intertwined. I enjoyed riding a camel in the desert, which gave me the opportunity to explore sand dunes and archaeological sites.

If you want to enjoy the beauty of nature and experience Bedouin culture, visiting Wadi Rum is highly recommended. It's a unique and unforgettable travel destination! 🏜️🌌

The 74,000-hectare property, inscribed as a mixed natural and cultural site, is situated in southern Jordan, near the border with Saudi Arabia. It features a varied desert landscape consisting of a range of narrow gorges, natural arches, towering cliffs, ramps, massive landslides and caverns. Petroglyphs, inscriptions and archaeological remains in the site testify to 12,000 years of human occupation and interaction with the natural environment. The combination of 25,000 rock carvings with 20,000 inscriptions trace the evolution of human thought and the early development of the alphabet. The site illustrates the evolution of pastoral, agricultural and urban activity in the region.

Martian Landscapes! Wadi Rum was a bucket list destination for me. Upon arriving, the mountains seemed to spring up from out of nowhere and seeing the sand shanking from golden tones to a deep red was pretty unique! #jordan #wadirum #awesomepic

Personally I think this place is even better when we talk for a trip to Jordan. 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.

I took a two-day, one-night tour of the Wadi Rum desert from the town of Petra. I'll explain the outline of the tour. You can book the tour at the hotel in the town of Petra. The price is about 50 JOD. The tour involves a minibus picking you up at the hotel early in the morning. After a two-hour drive, you'll arrive at the Wadi Rum desert. In the Wadi Rum desert, a guide will be waiting for you, and you'll get in the guide's pickup truck and drive through the desert. There were two courses here, a four-hour course and an eight-hour course, depending on the price. I took the four-hour course. The guide will take you to each of the famous sights while driving through the desert. Places to visit include the famous Mushroom Rock, Abu Kasaba Canyon, Arch Rock, and more. There are no places to buy drinks in the heat, so it's necessary to buy them in advance. After that, you'll have dinner at a Bedouin camp and sleep around firewood. Then they took us to the entrance gate of the Wadi Rum Museum, and the tour ended. By the way, they do not arrange transportation from the Wadi Rum Desert, so make sure to prepare properly. There are buses to each city, but the times are unknown, so be careful. Prices are rising rapidly in Jordan, but isn't this price a good deal for a 2-day, 1-night tour? Of course, you can go around on your own, and you can also experience the Bedouin camp on your own. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zKje57bafBHtGV1b7 #0yentravelFebruary2025#Jordan#WadiRum

I took a tour to drive through the Wadi Rum desert. When I joined the tour, the guide took me to various sights while driving the car. It felt like I was on Mars, with large rocks standing here and there on the red desert. While driving, I encountered wild camels, which was a lot of fun. A must-visit when you come to Jordan. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rssEds8DhHAJPcRa8 #0yentripFebruary2025#Jordan #WadiRum

Wadi Rum Village is a peaceful and beautiful spot, often overlooked compared to the more famous desert attractions. Located right at the edge of the desert, it offers a serene atmosphere and an unforgettable landscape. 🏜️ The village is quiet, with very few visitors, making it the perfect place to take a stroll and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. 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. There are also caves and other rock formations to explore along the way. It’s a peaceful and free experience that gives you a real sense of the desert's beauty. 🌿 If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend taking the time to walk around Wadi Rum Village. It’s a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of nature, history, and tranquility. 😊 #celebrateit

Ever wanted to feel like you are living on another planet for a day? Welcome to Wadi Rum, aka Mars on Earth! I just spend an awesome day exploring this epic desert, and to top it all off - I slept in a bubble hotel! Let me tell you how it went down! #adventure #adventureawaits The minute you step into Wadi Rum, it’s like you have teleported to some sci-fi movie set. Red sand stretching forever, massive rock formations popping up like alien skyscrapers - it’s just unreal! I kicked off the dat with a 4x4 tour, zipping across dunes, spotting ancient cravings and scaling some crazy rock bridges #desertadventure I recommend starting your day early to avoid the midday heat (especially in summer). After all that desert adventuring, you are going to work up an appetite, and lunch in Wadi Rum is an experience in itself! Many guided tours offer a traditional Beduin lunch, usually served under a shaded tent or at a scenic spot in the desert. We tried local dishes like Zarb, falafel and tabbouleh! #deliciousfood #localfood We finish our adventure watching the sunset from the desert! #sunset As the sun dips lower in the sky, the entire landscape transforms with vibrant shades of gold and orange spreading across the sand dunes and rock formations. Now, the best part of the day - sleeping in a bubble. We stayed at the Hotel Rum Titanic which was an unforgettable experience, offering both privacy and unparalleled connection to nature. The bubble provides all the comfort of a hotel room but the best past was the stargazing! As night fell and the desert cooled down, I could simply lie back and watch the star appear, one by one, filling the sky in every direction. It felt like being in an observatory, but with the added magic of the desert breeze and complete tranquility. Recommendations: - Book in advance: the 4x4 tours are incredibly popular, especially during the high season. To ensure you get the best tour, I recommend to book it in advance. - Lunch: Many tours include a traditional Bedouin lunch as well, which is great way to experience the culture. -Stay hydrated and sun-protected: Wadi Rum can get very hot, so pack plenty of water, sunscreen and a hat. -Dress modestly: while it’s a very popular tourist spot, it’s still a rural area and traditional Bedouin culture. It’s respectful to dress modestly when you are not in the hotel. -Don’t miss the sunset or sunrise: I highly recommend you the Lawrence’s Spring area and Jebel Umm Adami viewpoints for sunset or sunrise. #wadirum #desertdreams #jordantrip #travelinspiration #bubblehotel #vacation #wanderlust

#desert The desert of Wadi Rum was a dream. We rented a car from Accra and head down to the Red Sea. We spent half of the day there and without losing time we went to Wadi Room to sleep there. We had time to see the sunset with a jeep that took us around the desert. At night we watch the stars with a bonfire. We woke up very early in the morning to see the sunrise with the camels. It was an unforgettable experience.
