Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon is the largest wadi (valley) in Jordan. This wadi came to fame starting with being the movie location for Lawrence of Arabia and most recently The Martian and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Many other sci-fi movies have also been filmed in this area because it looks unlike anything else on earth. The hours pass quickly as you sail through the sea of red sand on the back of a pick up truck enjoying the expansive quiet surroundings and the occasional camel or bedouin crossing your path. A camel ride from local bedouins is a must activity along with drinking bedouin whisky (strong tea full of sugar).
