7 Essential Jordanian Foods to Eat While in Jordan - AFAR

"One of the most fascinating experiences you can have in Jordan’s Mars-like desert of Wadi Rum is staying at a traditional Bedouin desert camp. Here, you will most certainly be able to see the preparation of zarb, Bedouin barbecue, roasted for hours in an underground pit. Not much has changed in the traditional process: Foil-wrapped meat like chicken, lamb, or goat is placed in a round metal casing with coals, alongside spices and vegetables like potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, and onions, then lowered into a pit in the sand, covered with blankets and sand, and left to cook for two to three hours until fragrant bits of meat start to fall off the bones." - Yulia Denisyuk

The magic of this place could never fully be encompassed in words, let alone having your wedding in a space like this! Being an elopement photographer and getting to photograph this intimate wedding at Wadi Rum was a DREAM! Cannot recommend sleeping under the stars and watching a desert sunset enough!!

I advise every tourist to do By purchasing Jordan Pass you will save a lot of expenses. You should choose an experienced local driver who will carefully arrange your schedule, the most comfortable routes and the best transportation.

Deserts are unusual and unfamiliar worlds. Wadi Rum Desert is one of the most fantastic places I have ever visited, almost another planet. Nights under a clear starry sky in endless sands, where there is not a single tree, only endless stones and red rocks, labyrinths of canyons and deafening silence. For those who want to try something new, a hike in Wadi Rum will be a great adventure.

Feels like I am Lawrence of Arabia here ;) Eating with the Bedouins... Really enjoyed it ! They told my wife: Have you finished your food ? Then do something, pick up a newspaper and kills the flies flying around your husband ;). My wife really like this part ;)

Absolutely breathtaking! 🌟 Imagine arriving at Wadi Rum, a vast desert with towering rock formations that resemble pillars or animals, all named by locals. The red, pristine sands and massive rocks make you feel like a tiny speck in this awe-inspiring landscape. Whether you're on a budget or seeking luxury, Wadi Rum has camps for everyone. Explore this protected area on a Jeep or camel tour for an unforgettable adventure. We did a 2-hour Jeep tour, but as two unaccompanied women, we didn't stay overnight due to concerns about camp cleanliness and safety. For small groups, I recommend booking a 4-hour Jeep tour with dinner and private transport through your hotel. Next time, we'd opt for at least a 4-hour ride and, if accompanied, a luxury camp experience. Wadi Rum is a must-see! 🌄🐪

This was our 3rd time in Wadi Rum and our 2nd time in Jamal Rum Camp where we had an amazing 6 hour off road tour. The desert itself is beautiful, and I highly recommend Jamal Rum Camp too.

Hidden in the vastness of Jordan lies Wadi Rum, a desert landscape that speaks in whispers of wind and echoes of ancient civilizations. This majestic place, originally known by its Bedouin name, The Valley of the Moon, reveals an otherworldly beauty that has captivated explorers and filmmakers alike. Here, the golden sands and rugged rock formations create a natural canvas that has featured prominently in films such as "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) and "The Martian" (2015), showcasing its timeless appeal. The interplay of light and shadow across the desert floor at dawn and dusk turns the landscape into a living painting, constantly changing and ever mesmerizing. Wadi Rum is not just a place; it is a meditation on the infinite and the ephemeral. Its beauty lies not only in the breathtaking vistas but also in the stories embedded in its sands—tales of ancient Nabataean traders and Bedouin nomads who traversed this land. It is a landscape where the passage of time feels suspended, allowing one to reflect on the deeper connection between humanity and nature. Walking through Wadi Rum, one feels the profound silence that is both humbling and uplifting, a reminder of the vastness of the universe and our place within it. It is an eternal dialogue between earth and sky, a symphony of silence that resonates with the soul.
