Highlights
  • Wadi Rum Village - Wadi Rum Village - We will meet at the rest house in Wadi Rum Village. This is the first place you will see on your right when you enter the village. There is a car park. When all the tourists are there and welcomed by the guide, we start the jeep tour (usually around 10:00)

  • Lawrence’s Spring - experience Lawrence Spring, a natural water source in the heart of Wadi Rum that is a favorite hangout spot for camels. The cool water runs down the mountains and into the troughs, surrounded by small trees and vibrant green moss that create a true oasis and views and the many inscriptions of Thamudic origin.You can relax here just like the Bedouins and their herds did in the past, while watching herds of camels pass by, eagerly seeking fresh water.

  • Al Ramal Red Sand Dune - Discover the iconic Al Ramal Red Sand Dune in Wadi Rum, the most famous sand dune in the area with a unique red hue caused by high concentrations of iron oxide. While it may seem like a simple climb, the soft sand makes it challenging for tourists, but entertaining for the locals to watch. Once you reach the top, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the valley that will leave you in awe. For an unforgettable experience, run or sandboard your way back down.

  • Jebel Khazali - Discover the hidden gem of Khazali Canyon in Wadi Rum, where you can journey back in time to witness the traces of merchants and pilgrims who once traveled through the canyon on their way to Egypt, Damascus, and Mecca.

As you explore the canyon between split mountains, you’ll be fascinated by the Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well as the petroglyphs of humans, animals, and soles of feet. The canyon is also home to numerous Nabataean rock carvings of people and animals, including petroglyphs etched into the cave walls dating back to Thamudic times.

At the end of the canyon, you’ll find several man-made rock-cut basins for water collection, adding to the impressive collection of petroglyphs and inscriptions that make Khazali Canyon one of the major tourist attractions in Wadi Rum.

  • Little Bridge - Little Bridge - Through years of various severe weather influences, this natural Little Bridge has been formed on a rock formation in the Khor El Ajram area. It is called Little Bridge because it’s only a few meters high and easy to climb, but the views are stunning and on pictures it looks pretty big and impressive. It’s perfect for families with children, and those who don’t want to climb too high. When you come down again, a cup of sweet tea awaits you in the Bedouin tent where you can buy souvenirs or relax and hang out with locals.

  • Lawrence’s House - Lawrence’s House - Lawrence’s house plays an important role in the history of Wadi Rum. Nabateans laid the foundation for this place over 2000 years ago which was used as a stop for the passing caravans. Later it became known as Lawrence’s house, because TE Lawrence, in the story “Lawrence of Arabia” was based here. When you reach the top after a short climb, you will be amazed by the countless piles of stones. In the past, the Bedouins used to stack stones as road markings. You can see far into the vast desert plain, which again makes for great photos.

  • Wadi Rum Protected Area - Traditional Bedouin Lunch : Discover a hidden place with a stunning view, where your expert guide will prepare a delicious traditional lunch cooked over an open fire. Our daily menu varies, but we always provide a warm meal with fresh vegetables, bread, hummus, yogurt, and other local treats. While we cook, you can explore the surrounding area with a hike or simply relax and soak in the magnificent views of the Wadi Rum landscape.

  • Mushroom Rock - Witness a small miracle of nature - the Mushroom Rock. Over centuries, wind and rain have carved this sandstone into the distinct shape of a mushroom. It’s a fun place to take photos and seek shelter from the desert sun, used by Bedouins for centuries

  • Burdah Rock Bridge - Burdah Rock Bridge - At the top of Jabal Burdah, you will find one of the highest natural rock bridges in the world. During the jeep tour we make a stop close by so that we can admire the bridge from a distance. The total climb to the bridge can take up to 4 hours, this is not included in the jeep tour and can be booked via a hiking tour or upon request.

  • Wadi Rum Protected Area - White Desert -Discover the unique beauty of the White Desert in Wadi Rum, where the landscape transforms into a completely different world. You’ll have a chance to spot wildlife and discover new flora. The white sand provides a stunning contrast to the red sand in the distance. Experience the unique charm of the White Desert, a must-visit for any adventure-seeker in Wadi Rum.

  • Abu Khashaba Canyon - Abu Khashaba Canyon - Stretch your legs and enjoy a nice walk in this deep narrow valley, surrounded by tall mountain walls. There’s a lot of green, which makes a beautiful contrast with the red desert sand. You will see many different types of trees and plants, and hear countless birds chirping. The locals have hung bottles to collect the rainwater so that the birds can drink from it. It is a real oasis of peace. The walk takes 30 to 45 minutes, and your guide will pick you up on the other side.

  • Um Frouth Rock Arch - Experience one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in the world at Jabal Burdah. The Burdah Rock Bridge, Rum’s largest arch, sits precariously atop the mountain about 80 meters above the surrounding rock. The hike to the summit is challenging but offers a spectacular reward with one of the most incredible sunsets you will ever experience. During the jeep tour, we’ll make a stop close by so that you can admire the bridge from a distance before embarking on the hike. It’s an unforgettable adventure for any Wadi Rum visitor.

  • Wadi Rum Protected Area - Sunset ViewPoint - Witness the most breathtaking sunset in Wadi Rum at our secluded Sunset Viewpoint. We’ll take you to the perfect spot where you can marvel at the wide panoramic landscape as the sun sets. While you take it all in, we’ll prepare some sweet Bedouin tea on the fire.
