Wadi Rum Desert Editorial Photo

Wadi Rum desert in Jordan looks otherworldly. According to film director Ridley Scott, who used it as a shooting location for The Martian, “it`s the best view I`ve ever seen of what could be Mars.” But it’s very much of this earth - an ancient desert that a nomadic Arabic tribe called the Bedouin have long called home. While a lot of tourists might visit for a couple of hours on a jeep safari.
