Discover Wadi Rum, also known as the “Valley of the Moon,” a stunning desert landscape in southern Jordan. Covering approximately 74,000 hectares, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its Mars-like scenery, making it a popular filming location for Hollywood movies.
In 2026, Wadi Rum became a top stargazing destination, with luxury “Martian Domes” tents offering clear sky views through advanced telescopes. The Tourism Promotion Authority’s 2026 plan aims to enhance sustainability and increase the length of tourists’ stays through improved community and environmental experiences.
Explore key landmarks like Jabal Rum, Burda Rock Bridge, Siq al-Khazali, and Ain Lawrence. Enjoy activities such as 4x4 off-road trips, hot air ballooning, mountain climbing, and traditional Bedouin camping.
The best time to visit is during spring (March - May) and autumn (September - November) when temperatures are moderate. Entry requires purchasing a ticket from the Visitors Center, which is also included in the “Unified Ticket” (Jordan Pass).
