"Vast, echoing and god-like" was how T.E. Lawrence described Wadi Rum. Here, it is the weather and winds that have carved the imposing, towering skyscrapers, so elegantly described by Lawrence.
Wadi Rum, like many of the geological and archaeological treasures in Jordan, should not be rushed. The slower the pace, the more the haunting beauty of the desert grows on you. You need time to take in the desert's infinitesimal variations of light and colour.
We have handpicked the only luxury camp in Jordan King Aretas Camp for your stay in the desert. Travel to the Dana Biosphere Reserve to enjoy a wildlife adventure or head to the Dead Sea or Red Sea at Aqaba for a relaxing stay by your swimming pool.
