WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Lawrence's Spring
The spring is at the top of a short scramble – head for the fig tree, located just 2km (1.2 miles) south-west of the village of Rum. The spring was named in honour of Lawrence’s evocative description in the Seven Pillars of Wisdom: ‘’In front of us a path, pale with use, zigzagged up the cliff-plinth…From between [the] trees, in hidden crannies of the rock, issued strange cries; the echoes, turned into music, of the voices of the Arabs watering camels at the springs which flowed out three hundred feet above ground’’. Although the pool itself is largely unprepossessing, being a stagnant puddle, the views across the desert are truly spectacular.
2.
Among the vast expanses of rust-coloured sand in the Wadi Rum desert, the Red Sand Dune, or ‘Al Hasany’ in Arabic, is one of the most famous ones. Officially named Al Ramal it has become better known by its descriptive name. It stands out against a cliff side like it is part of the mountain. Coloured red by the presence of iron oxide, this dune is fine and soft underfoot making it perfect to walk up barefoot!
3.
Khazali Canyon in Wadi Rum is the site of petroglyphs etched into the cave walls depicting humans and antelopes dating back to the Thamudic times. This narrow canyon contains numerous Nabataean rock carvings of people and animals. Jebel Khazali, a peak situated in the center of Wadi Rum Protected Area opens up in a narrow fissure of about 100 m length. Its inner walls are covered with Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well petroglyphs depicting humans and animals. Remarkable are the soles of feet petroglyphs, which probably had religious significance. In 1932 the French epigraphist Savignac noted the engravings in the cleft and published some of them in 1934. The petroglyphs and inscriptions of Khazali Siq form an impressive collection being one of the major tourist attractions in Wadi Rum. At the end of the canyon, there are several man-made rock-cut basins for water collection.
4. Wadi Rum Protected Area
Little Rock Bridge: Easy to climb, this bridge offers great views across a broad expanse of desert. It is easily accessible and not dangerous, it is perfect for families with children and people who feel less comfortable with heights under their feet.
5. Lawrence's House
Nobody is certain that this was Lawrence’s house, although there are stories that he both stayed and/or stored weapons here. The current structure is built upon the remains of a Nabataean building, however, and it’s another beautiful spot in the desert. There is little left of this building, erected on the Nabataean ruins of a water cistern. Nonetheless, legend has it that Lawrence stayed here during the Arab Revolt and that makes it a must on the regular 4WD circuits of the area. Near the building is a Nabataean inscription that mentions the area’s ancient name of Iram. The remote location and uninterrupted view of the red sand dunes are the main attractions.
6. Wadi Rum Protected Area
Stop for lunch (Gallaya, Hummus, Tuna, Salad, Jordanian bread, Juice).
7.
Sometimes nature performs small miracles. One of them is the Mushroom Rock. Over the centuries, rain and winds have carved this sandstone and gave it the shape of mushroom.
8.
The largest of Rum’s three arches is the Burdah Rock Bridge, precariously perched about 80m above the surrounding rock. There’s a precipitous hike to the summit. It’s height and location offers one of the most terrific sunsets you will ever experience.
9. Wadi Rum Protected Area
The White Desert is located near the Saudi border, 40 km south of Wadi Rum village. The landscape is similar to the Wadi Rum desert, but the sand is white. It is also an amazing place to see the sunset from.
10.
Wild fig trees and desert bushes among huge rocks and red and yellow sand make this canyon unique. Abu Khashaba Canyon is one of the canyons that are worth to visit and you will need about an hour to walk through.
11.
A lower rock bridge which is featured on many tours and can be easily scrambled onto. The climbing takes 5-15 minutes (depending on your experience) and the view that it offers to the surrounding area is amazing.

I really enjoyed the trip. It was well-organized, I was picked up at the Visitor's Centre as agreed. During the trip we saw amazing places, our guide was friendly and cooked us a delicious lunch. The night in the camp was an unforgettable experience: we chatted sitting on the sand by moonlight. Tents are comfortable, with beds, pillows and duvets.

The trip was spimply amazing. Wadi Rum's beauty is unreal. Oure guide Bhakar made us feel at home in the dessert. He appeared te be a great cook to! The "cave" we slept in was like an overhanging rock with brink walls. But anyway AMAZING! Stargazing was stunning, and the wake up call by 5 camels was awesome! We hope there will be peace in the region soon so you can experience what we did! #visitjordan #staysafe !

Actually did the 1 and a half day tour: first day was camel trek into the desert to our cave for the night, where we saw sunset, had a super evening with the family with food, dancing and joking, and then slept in the desert out under the stars. Excellent. Second day was going around the main sights of Wadi Rum, but the highlights were the individual tour elements such as the lunch and the sunset spot. A finally staying in a camp with a good evening meal. Fully recommend this company.

Our full-day Wadi Rum desert tour was amazing. Our guide led us through stunning landscapes, including sand dunes and iconic landmarks. What truly added to the experience was the delicious lunch and dinner in the heart of the desert, prepared by our guide. The sunset was a mesmerizing finale, making this tour a must for anyone visiting Wadi Rum. Highly recommended.
