First and foremost, come to Wadi Rum to experience the desert itself. Wadi Rum is the classic picture of sandy desert, with sandstone lebels (hills) rising sheer out of the valley floor. They tower over a small Bedouin encampment which includes the Desert Patrol Fort. The men of the Desert Patrol are a spectacle in themselves: traditionally dressed or in khaki uniform, many still ride camels.
The ruined 1st-Century Nabataean Temple is a fine example of this fascinating people's architecture.
Adventure-seekers will enjoy an unforgettable hot are balloon ride over Jordan. The ballooning season runs from March through November, and flights lift off at sunrise for a one-hour ride over the dramatic mountains of Petra and Wadi Rum.
