The Wadi Rum is otherworldly: a copper valley forged into the sandstone and granite rock of southwest Jordan. You’ve probably seen it already. The desert scenery has been used in a string of Hollywood blockbusters, including the Star Wars franchise, The Martian, Dune and, perhaps mostly famously of all, in Lawrence of Arabia, the 1962 classic about the British lieutenant T.E. Lawrence who is etched into local folklore.
Many of our small-group adventures to Jordan visit Wadi Rum. Take a jeep safari into the dunes and bed down there for the evening, staying in a a private Bedouin camp. Appreciate the changing colours of the sand from sunset to sunrise; after dark, gaze upwards as a galaxy of stars puts on a night-long lightshow.
Tina Gibson A Week in JordanJust back from an excellent week in Jordan with 12 other travellers and our superb guide Ayyad
anila hussain A Week in Jordangreat little trip to Jordan rushed from place to place would habe like a little ore time to photograph certain areas. our guide Sami was adamant to take us to the expensive areas and specific shops rather than the back street locals where we could have saved some money. An item from the jeep collapsed on me whilst seated during a freak wind eruption. fortunately not injuring e but extremely unexpected. Food knowledge good however the rushed walk through the market nd some dwn time in between a tiny bt restricted for the type of break I like. It was a first group holiday like this. the whole group was lovely sami helpful. Huge issues when we checked in the last hotel where my friend didnt have her room. cross allegations between the hotel and our guide as to the error resulted in wastage of the ONLY free day we had at the end. Not impressed.
