Highlights
  • 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 honor 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

  • Al Ramal Red Sand Dune - 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!

  • Wadi Rum Safari Camp - 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Um Frouth Rock Arch - 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.

4 hour jeep tour of wadi rum - Feras was very accommodating. Our flight was delayed coming into Jordan so we had to push our jeep tour time, which we were able to do without issues. The tour itself was so much fun, it was great to see most of wadi rum in our 4 hour time span and also stop by the bedouin tents for some tea in between.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience! - Wadi Rum with Bedouin Guide Tours is a must do if you plan to visit. We stayed overnight in their Bedouin camp and the next day did a half day jeep and hour camel ride. It is an amazing family experience and the tour guides really do their best to make sure our every need was addressed and that our experience was one of a kind!

Amazing excursion through Wadi Rum with very nice driver of Bedouin Guide Tours - Fifteen minutes before time we arrived at the Wadi Rum Resthouse, where an employee contacted our driver for the excursion through Wadi Rum. A little later we were picked up by a very nice driver and we started our excursion. Nice that the driver placed the shade roof against the sun. On the way the driver got us a can of drink. Delicious! During the first stop we climbed a sand hill with a beautiful and wide view. Then we continued and visited a gorge with petroglyphs. After a few more stops we arrived at a place where we were dropped off to walk through a small canyon. On the other side our driver was waiting for us again. That was a very nice walk! My daughter went down on the sandboard for a while, after which we were brought back to the Wadi Rum Resthouse. We look back on a fantastic excursion through a beautiful landscape. Our driver was very nice and did his best to make us comfortable. He also took some nice pictures of us. All in all a very nice afternoon!

Perfect half day riding and climbing tour. - Our trip was very interesting, we saw a lot of cool places. Driver was considerate of my daughter being pregnant and he drove very carefully. One remark, that it would be nice to know ahead of time that there is a lot of hiking involved in the trip. Not everyone in our group had proper shoes for climbing the rocky mountings.

Not as advertised - On arrival to the village, we met Faras (our supposed guide) however he soon left the vehicle and left his much younger cousin(?) to lead the tour. Unfortunately the guide did not provide any information on any of the sites we visited and stayed in the vehicle for the duration, whereas we witnessed other guides guiding their tour groups around the various rock formations and taking photos. We were not even offered the opportunity to have a photo together and whilst we enjoyed our time in Wadi Rum, we were expecting a knowledgable guide as advertised. There was no opportunity offered for sandboarding and no free tea or coffee, both of which were advertised as part of this tour. Ultimately not worth the £90/€100 spent.
