What is Wadi Rum:

To the Arabs Wadi Rum is known simply as The Valley of The Moon. to travelers who have roamed its vast landscape, Wadi Rum seems more akin to the surface of a distant planet than to anything on earth. the combination of its immensity, color and awe-inspiring shapes creates an atmosphere that  is almost supernatural. Lawrence of Arabia who held Wadi Rum in high  esteem, wrote: “ Our little caravan grew quite self conscious, and fell dead quiet, afraid and ashamed to flaunt its smallness in the presence of the  stupendous hills ----Landscapes in childhood’s dreams were so vast and silent.” (T. E. Lawrence: The Seven Pillars of Wisdom). Wadi Rum’s immensity is hard to leave. The longer you spend there the more you  become attached to it--- and the more you long for it when you are gone. The  Valley of the Moon makes man tremble at the power and majesty of nature.
