The Wadi Rum consists of 278 square miles (720 square kilometres) of
desert wilderness. Commonly called ‘The Valley of the Moon’, Wadi Rum
refers to the protected southern Jordan valley that cuts through
variable coloured granite and sandstone mountains. The valley sand
varies in colour from light tan to brick red.
Valley terrain also differs throughout the area, appearing either as
flat and wide or as deep, narrow crevices between rock formations.
