In a state of mind that alternates between dreaming and semi consciousness, that’s how a tourist would spends time in Wadi Rum - which is also called ‘Moon Valley’ because its features resemble that of the moon. Among the commanding mountains, a visitor can almost touch the purity of nature in the Arabian desert, particularly in the spring.

Some 40 km north of Aqaba, the Wadi Rum region has several of the highest mountain peaks in the Levant. Those mountains represent an exciting challenge to mountain-climbing enthusiasts. Visitors in groups can also traverse the Wadi’s vast tracks riding camels; they can camp overnight in well-setup special camps that provide all that’s needed.  Hot Air Ballooning shows take place in this area, adding a blast of magnificent colors to the already stunning landscape. But what mostly attracts the attention of visitors to the area is the view of the sun setting in a sea of brilliant red, and the ability to see the stars at night coming through impeccably clear skies.

There is a modern rest house in the area, with all the amenities. The house contains a restaurant serving various meals. A visitor can rent tents for a sleepover in the mountains growing in the middle of the desert.
