Wadi Rum is a truly beautiful part of the world that has been the setting of a number of movies, the most famous of which is "Lawrence of Arabia". The story takes place during World War I when T.E. Lawrence helped the Arabs win their independance from the Ottoman Empire by helping to unite the various Bedouin tribes and then moving their armies through Wadi Rum to Aquaba where they cut off the railroad and defeated the Turkish army stationed there. Unfortunately the British never kept their part of the bargain with King Abdullah.
