WADI RAM ECO SPA Wadi Ram, Jordan Developer: Najwa Tourism & Development Architecture: Sahel Alhiyari Located in the Wadi Ram desert region of Jordan, this remarkable eco spa hopes to capitalize on the extraordinary beauty of this legendary desert. Made famous in the West by Lawrence of Arabia, this site has been untouched by development and is located at the edge of a very large protected national park. Once the domain of the Bedouin, Wadi Ram Eco Spa has been designed to meet the most stringent ecological parameters. Its conception includes extensive water reuse, natural cooling, eco pond management, as well as traditional desert techniques for water retention and use. Conceived as a luxury resort, Wadi Ram Eco Spa will provide an orchestrated experience of life in the desert, including extensive trekking, traditional cuisine, and many healing options. Other amenities include sky gazing, rituals, and fire ceremonies. In addition, water management techniques and desert agricultural processes will also be taught to the local population as part of a community enhancement component of the project's sustainability initiatives. The feng shui input included a complete assessment of the site and its relationship to the surrounding landscape and topography. Recommendations were made for symbolic and metaphorical systems that would capture the healing and cultural context of the region. Earth Healing rituals were also made to promote the healing power of the site.
