Wadi Rum is an amazing place, timeless and untouched by civilization. Wind and sun for millennia so strongly impacted the local landscape, resulting in the formation of unique rocks, arches, canyons and wells. Here you will find yourself and hikers, climbers and just lovers of history. After all, some rock paintings on the territory of the Wadi Rum reserve are more than four thousand years old. And since June 2011 the Wadi Rum desert has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The staff of the Wadi Rum desert patrol wear, perhaps, the most colorful uniform in the entire Middle East. The long khaki garment of the "dash-dash" was intercepted by a bright red bandolier, a dagger in his belt, a rifle in his hands, and a traditional red and white handkerchief of Jordanian Bedouins (clofia) on his head.
