Aqaba Governorate Travel Guide

Jordan

A must visit in Jordan to experience starry nights, traditional Bedouin dinners, camel rides into the sunset...get that Lawrence of Arabia feeling.... #lifeAtExpedia #theGreatOutdoors
The vast desert. The vast night sky. The vastness of life. And our own insignificance. Sleeping under the Milky Way in the Wadi Rum, after many rounds of shisha and swapping stories with your Bedouin guide... few experiences match up to that 😍 #theshootingstar #jordan #wadirum #travel
The vast desert of Wadi Rum in Jordan is a sight to behold
Take a day out in the desert of Wadi Rum, ride camels, sandboard down the dunes, climb the natural rock bridges and stay the night in a Bedouin camp.
Here you’re surrounded by the magnificent landscape of Wadi Rum; a monolithic rocks capes rise up from the desert floor, sheer cliffs, red sand and silence… totally silence… Explore the desert, climb up to the rock’bridges’, enjoy the breathtaking views, the red hot sand dunes, a nice lunch out in the desert, the sun, a quiet cool canyon…
