WADI RUM

Wadi Rum Jeep Tour – 1 Day & 1 Night

Jeep tour introduction

With one day and one night to spend in Wadi Rum, this tour including an overnight stay in the desert is a great option to get to know the beauty of our homeland. During the day you visit some of the most famous sites in the protected area. We use a jeep to cover the distances between the sites. And at each site, there is time to explore, hike, scramble, climb and enjoy. At lunchtime, we serve you a Bedouin meal. Afterwards, we continue the tour. The last place we visit is in Um Sabatah where we watch the sunset. All together this day is an active day full of variety in the stunningly beautiful Wadi Rum desert. After sunset, we drive to our camp or our cave where you can enjoy a traditional Bedouin dinner an will stay overnight. The next morning after breakfast, we return to Rum village.

In the morning
A short ride brings us to the natural spring called Lawrence spring. You scramble the spring to enjoy the spectacular views of Wadi Rum desert. We continue our drive and head to the red sand dune. You can climb the dune and enjoy running down. Our next stop is Khazali canyon. Here you see ancient inscriptions and a waterhole. A short drive brings us to the first rock bridge of the day, Little bridge. We scramble up the bridge and enjoy the marvellous valley views. The last site we visit in the morning is the Lawrence house.

Lunchtime
We drive to a beautiful, quiet and shady place where we take a few hours break. We prepare a Bedouin meal for you. After we finish our lunch, there is time to take a rest or walk around to explore the area on your own.

In the afternoon
We start the afternoon with a beautiful drive to the Mushroom rock. We make a short stop before continuing our ride through the yellow desert to Burdah rock bridge. We admire the rock bridge from the valley floor. Then we drive to the surprisingly green and narrow Abu Khashaba canyon. You walk through the canyon. This delightful walk takes about half an hour. We wait for you on the other side. A short drive takes us to Um Fruth rock bridge. A short but challenging scramble takes you up the bridge. As the sun starts to go quickly now, we head to Um Sabatah where we watch the sunset.
