Wadi Rum nature reserve is a Xkm2 protected desert area internationally renowned for its stark lunar landscape and jutting sandstone mountains. So unique is Wadi Rum that it has become an iconic tourist destination in which many tourists often spend at least one night and tour the surrounding desert in vehicles owned by the indigenous Bedouin population. The Wadi Rum desert experience enables tourists to experience the vastness and majesty of the desert, while supporting the independent and proud existence of the Bedouin.
