Wadi Rum
Jordan
Join a Bedouin guide (admirably the government insists that only local guides may be used, both here and at Petra) on a 4x4 or camel safari to see ancient rock carvings and explore the dramatic sandstone cliffs.
Wadi Rum is where the forces of the famed Arab Revolt hid from the Turks in World War 1.
