Located approx. 60 km/37.3 miles east of Aqaba, the Wadi Rum desert valley is known for its striking geological formations, which have earned it the nickname the Valley of the Moon. Rum Wonders Camp is located near one of its landmarks, a structure called Lawrence's House because it is thought that T. E. Lawrence may have stayed in it or stored weapons in it during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Lawrence is also said to have given Mount Rum the name the Seven Pillars of Wisdom for its cliff faces resembling carved pillars. Much of the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia was filmed on location here, so fans of the film may recognize elements of the landscape.
