Wadi Rum: Mountains and Red Sand in Photos

Share

In the far south of Jordan, Wadi Rum is a desert of sandstone mountains, narrow gorges and red sand. This album follows a day in the desert: the mountains and dunes, Lawrence’s Spring, Khazali Canyon, the rock bridges and the sunset. For the desert in a storm, see our album Sandstorm in Wadi Rum.
