The Perseid meteor shower usually takes place between August 8th and 14th and has been occurring for nearly 2,000 years.
Over 60 meteors per hour can streak across the night sky at the Wadi Rum desert - an event that is best to witness on a clear evening.

Imaginative travellers with a love for music might be interested in heading out on a Jordan tour this summer.
The Annual Distant Heat festival is set to take place from July 29th in the Wadi Rum desert and will showcase some of the leading international DJs and local electronic dance music artists in an all-night party.

According to the festival's organisers, the stunning surroundings are worth checking out for music-loving imaginative explorers.
