But the mission takes a sharp turn when the train, along with its passengers, are ambushed by the very same fighters.

Star gazing
Equally as astonishing as the landscape of Wadi Rum during the day, is the skyscape at night. Being so far away from city lights, the night sky glows with tens of thousands of sparkling stars in a view that is breathe taking for the naked eye. But instructors can make the experience more fascinating by giving you a much closer look through the eyepiece of our telescope. And if you are patient enough, you might even see a few falling stars!
