It is a very spectacular desert resort that is situated in south of Jordan, about 70 km to the north of Aqaba. It is the largest wadi in Jordan. Wadi Rum is one of Jordan’s main tourist attractions being the most stunning desertscape in the World. The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic root meaning ‘high’ or ‘elevated’ To reflect its proper Arabic pronunciation, archaeologists transcribe it as Wadi Ramm.
