Bedouin in Wadi Rum Desert
People have called Wadi Rum home since prehistoric times. It was once inhabited by the Nabataeans, who left their mark in the form of temples, inscriptions and rock drawings. Khazali Canyon is famous for Nabataean etchings featuring humans and animals. In the 1970s, archaeologists excavated one of the most famous temples in the area, the Nabataean Temple. The Bedouins who live here now have been roaming this land of dry sands and extreme temperatures for many years, though now with more modern comforts.
