Jordan | Wadi Rum

48 images Created 3 Aug 2012

Wadi Rum is a dramatic desert valley in the southern tip of Jordan. Red and white sands lap up against massive granite and sandstone cliffs. Zalabia Bedouin men adapt to a new tourist economy centered around Rum Village, while some families still persist proudly in living a traditional nomadic lifestyle.
