Jordan Aqaba Governorate

Wadi Rum Village

Desert outpost and starting point for tours in a famous Martian-like valley known for rock formations and ancient carvings in southern Jordan.

Tips from the community

You can call it another desert, but we prefer “Mars on Earth.” Wadi Rum desert is one of Jordan’s most notable destinations for travelers, and it’s easy to see why. Here, you can try out glamping if you’re feeling fancy — or a more traditional Bedouin desert camp if you want an authentic experience. Chill out with some camels or get your adrenaline kicks with some ATV and off-road tours; this fiery desert has you covered on things to do.
