Wadi Rum
Aptly dubbed “The Valley of the Moon”, this desert valley features an other-worldly landscape of massive razor-toothed mountains, undulating dunes as far as the eye can see, and rocks sculpted by the forces of nature into incredible bridges, towering canyons, bulbous domes and a variety of other impressive formations. With very little modern development, Wadi Rum makes for an astonishingly unspoiled destination. While more adventurous travelers can plan an overnight stay in a traditional tented Bedouin camp and can explore the extraordinary topography on horseback, those seeking a bit of luxury can stay in one of the modern villages in the surrounding area and can explore on a guided four wheel drive tour. However you choose to do it, Wadi Rum is a highlight and an essential component of any trip to Jordan.
