Jebel Rum Tourism

Jebel Rum is one of the towering peaks within the Wadi Rum also known as the Valley of the Moon, located in southern Jordan. This majestic sandstone mountain rises to an elevation of 1,734 meters above sea level and is a staple of the Wadi Rum landscape, which is famous for its stunning desert vistas, featuring natural arches, narrow gorges, and massive cliffs. The entire area is a red-tinged expanse of desolate desert beauty that has attracted climbers, trekkers, and visitors drawn to its otherworldly charm. The region's history is equally fascinating, with petroglyphs and inscriptions found throughout that reveal the presence of ancient civilizations. Wadi Rum has also been a Hollywood favorite, providing the backdrop for movies like 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'The Martian', due to its Mars-like appearance. For travelers, the Wadi Rum offers not just adventure but also Bedouin hospitality, with opportunities for overnight stays in desert camps under starlit skies. Conservation efforts maintain its pristine environment, and the area has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
