About Wadi Ramm

Experience the heat of the desert of Wadi Rum, largest wadi of Jordan and land of the Bedouin. Unesco World Heritage Site since 2011, T.E. Lawrence based its army there during the Arabic revolution in 1917 and depicted in its book the beauty of the wadi. Sleeping out there is COMPULSORY! you will see billions of stars! But be sure that is not the full moon, otherwise you won't see as much stars as you should...

User's opinion
The Lawrence House is always proposed by tours but is not impressive. Your car will stop there, except the picture below you really won't see more!

User's opinion
Petroglyphs dating from the Silk Road. They are quite hard to find, except if you have a good driver... A little bit disappointed, we had to find their story by ourselves, as drivers were just speaking about "tags".

User's opinion:

Find a 4x4 at the entrance is a bad idea if you want to have a fair price. We booked our 2 days tour in Petra. 45USD per person, entrance fee, night, food (but not water!) included (we were 5p)
