Wadi Musa
"Wadi Musa" means "Valley of Moses" in Arabic (وادي موسى). It is said that the Moses passed through the valley and struck water from the rock for his followers at the site of "Ain Musa" ("Moses's water spring" or "Moses's Well"). The Nabateans built channels that carried water from this spring to the city of Petra. Wadi Musa was also nicknamed the "Guardian of Petra". The Tomb of Aaron, supposed burial site of the Biblical Aaron, the brother of Moses, is on nearby Mount Hor.
