Dune Bashing in Wadi Rum

Jordan's far south belongs to the desert and Bedouin. Wadi Rum is where the desert opening up an enchanting moon-like landscapes like those in the Starwars movies. It was made famous by the Lawrence of Arabia film. Many of the spectacular scenery are reachable only by 4WD.

We went on a dune bashing, also known as desert safari, using 4WD to explore sand dunes. This was the most memorable part of the whole trip for the children. We looked for the steepest dune and raced up and down on it on the 4WD. Dangerous but really exhillarating. We spent a total of 2-hours doing excursion across the vast Wadi.
