Wadi Rum is the name given to a valley cut into the sandstone and hard rock in southwest Jordan. _____(46)The name Rum most likely comes from an Aramaic word meaning "high" or "elevated", The area around Wadi Rum is now also one of Jordan's most important tourist destinations, and attracts an increasing number of foreign tourists, particularly trekkers(越野者)，but also for camel safaris(旅行)or simply day-trippers from Aqaba or Petra. In contrast, there are almost no local or Arab tourists, through Disi attracts young people from Amman at the weekends.

But Jordan is not simply a desert environment—it also contains the area which is the lowest point to the face of the Earth—the incredible Dead Sea, popular with tourists for swimming. _____(48)Once the waters reach the Dead Sea they are landlocked and have nowhere to go, so they evaporate ,leaving behind a dense ,rich cocktail(混合的)of salts and minerals that supply industry, agriculture and medicine with some of its finest products.
