Wadi Musa (Arabic: Valley of Moses) is a valley and town located in southern Jordan. The town is located in the valley above the archaeological site of Petra. Tradition holds that the prophet Moses passed through the valley and struck water from the rock at the site of Ain Musa (Moses' Spring) for the Israelites. The Nabateans built channels that carried water from this spring to the city of Petra. Wadi Musa is bordered by Mount Hor which tradition holds is where Moses' brother Aaron died and is buried. The white domed mosque that houses Aaron's tomb is visible from the town and most of the valley.
