We wii be spending the night in Aqaba and thought on route to Petra (with a rental car) we would stop in at Wadi Ru. Protected Area. Who do we contact for a half day tour?
A:
Tourist centre is available there. You can contact them for all facilities. Even it is available in aqaba also.
Hi! I was looking for a tour for the places where Martian was shot. But I can't find it onlinve. What company did you use? Looks like Wadi Rum have quite different landscapes and no certain roots. And I would like to see the best places.
A:
I think all the local guides know where this very film was shot. And definitely Wadi Rum is one of the greatest deserts to see and experiance. Much better than the one in Marocco.
