Before reaching the Wadi Rum visitor center you can take a stop at the Al Hijaz Steam Train, where you can cast yourself as an extra in the Arab Revolt of 1917, on board an original Hijaz train. The train (now diesel, not steam-driven) can be boarded at the station on the approach road to Wadi Rum .The Hejaz Railway was constructed by the Ottomans between 1900 and 1908, primarily to facilitate pilgrimages to the Muslim Holy places.
