Over time, Petra was conquered, abandoned, destroyed by an earthquake, and then rediscovered and shared with the world in the 1800s.

• Going for a 4X4 Jeep ride that takes you twisting and turning through the Wadi Rum is one of those unique experiences you.

Wadi Rum is a Hollywood favorite for films set on the red planet-Lawrence of Arabia, The Martians & more. Over 20,000 inscriptions have been documented inside Wadi Rum, tracing human existence back some 12,000 years in this spot. Clear night skies create an almost fairy-tale setting in Wadi Rum.

• Bedouins are Arabic-speaking nomadic peoples of the Middle Eastern deserts, especially of North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula. One of those unique experiences are to visit a Bedouin camp and have lunch there.
