About Wadi Rum
A protected desert wilderness of dramatic sandstone mountains and red sand valleys, used as a filming location for The Martian and Star Wars scenes. The core experience is conceptually identical to a Sahara desert camp in Morocco — a fixed Bedouin camp, an included evening experience, camel or 4x4 access — with accommodation ranging from basic tents up to a 'luxury Martian dome' (a transparent capsule tent for stargazing).
