Wadi Rum Protected Area

Wadi Rum

Wadi Rum (Arabic: وادي رم‎) also known as The Valley of the Moon (Arabic: وادي القمر‎) is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan 60 km (37 mi) to the east of Aqaba; it is the largest wadi in Jordan. The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic root meaning 'high' or 'elevated'.^[2] To reflect its proper Arabic pronunciation, archaeologists transcribe it as Wadi Ramm.
