Highlights

Full day jeep tour with a Traditional lunch. Overnight camping in a private Tent with traditional dinner

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 supermarket and a souvenir shop and our office is just around the corner. When all tourists are present and welcomed by the guide, we start the jeep tour (usually around 10:00)

Lawrence’s Spring - Lawrence Spring - This natural water source with cool water running down the mountains into the throughs, is the camels’ favorite hangout! With small trees and the almost fluorescent green moss, this is a true oasis. Relax here, just as the Bedouins and their herds used to do, and watch how herds of camels pass by, longing for fresh water. Or climb up the mountain to see spectacular views and the many inscriptions of Thamudic origin.

Jebel Khazali - Khazali Canyon - From the outside, this looks like an ordinary mountain, but when you enter the canyon between the split mountains, you take a journey back in time. You can see the traces of the merchants who traveled with their caravans from Egypt to Damascus, and of the pilgrims who passed through the canyon to Mecca. See the fascinating Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, and petroglyphs of humans, animals, and soles of feet when you enter the canyon. And a series of basins in the back.

Wadi Rum Protected Area - Red Sand Dune - This is the most famous sand dune in Wadi Rum! It owes its red color to a high concentration of iron oxide. It seems like a simple climb, but the sand is soft and difficult to walk on, which makes it challenging for tourists to climb, but very entertaining for the locals to watch. At the top you can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the valley. The best way to get down is running or sandboarding.

Wadi Rum Protected Area - 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.

Wadi Rum Protected Area - Umm Fruth Rock Bridge - This 15-meter-high bridge is the most famous bridge in Wadi Rum. It is not a historical place but it is the ultimate place to take enviable photos. Give your phone or camera to your guide who will stay on the ground and take an impressive photo of you on top of the bridge. The locals run up and down the bridge with ease, but for tourists it is a bit more challenging. That is why small holes have been made which makes the climb a bit easier.

Wadi Rum Protected Area - Traditional Bedouin Lunch - We will take you to a nice place with a good view, where your guide prepares a delicious traditional lunch, cooked outside on the fire. The menu is different every day, but we like to cook you a warm meal with vegetables, bread, hummus, yoghurt, and other local treats. While we are cooking, you can explore the area with a hike, or just sit down and relax while you enjoy the Wadi Rum landscape.

Wadi Rum Protected Area - 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.

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 - White Desert - Wadi Rum is known for the red sand where most of the highlights of the tour are, but further south the area changes into the white desert. It seems as if you have entered a completely different world. This area is not yet heavily visited by tourists, so there is much more flora to discover and a better chance to spot wildlife. It’s very special to stand in the white sand and see the transition to the red part in the distance. You can also notice a difference in the landscape, the rock formations and even the sand itself.

Wadi Rum Protected Area - Mushroom Rock - In Wadi Rum there are many famous rock formations, known for its unusual and sometimes even funny shape. The Musroom shaped rock owes its shape to years of erosion, with the lower part wearing out faster than the upper part. Mushroom Rock is fun place to take nice pictures and find some shelter. Bedouins used rock formations like this to seek shelter, after walking in the hot desert for hours.

Wadi Rum Protected Area - 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 - Sunset Viewpoint - Wadi Rum is known for having the most breathtaking sunsets. And we know the best places to watch it! We will take you to a secluded area where you can overlook the wide panoramic landscape as the sun sets, while we prepare some sweet Bedouin tea on the fire. Just sit on the mattrass or in the sand and take in all the beauty you see around you.

Magical Night in the Wadi Rum Desert - We spent a great afternoon and evening in Wadi Rum Desert Dreams! We started off being collected at the start of Wadi Rum and driven around the desert for the afternoon to many incredible spots in the desert. The team at the Desert Dreams camp went above and beyond to make the evening special for us, finishing the tour with Bedouin tea as we watched an incredible sunset over the vast desert. We then headed to camp for the night, where the accommodation far exceeded all expectations, it was incredibly luxurious! The food for dinner was delicious, cooked by Zarb, a traditional Bedouin way of cooking food underground, a truly unique experience! We then enjoyed some dancing and learning traditional Bedouin dance with the team, followed by a short drive away from camp for more Bedouin tea around a fire as we stargazed in the desert. It was a truly unique experience I’ll always remember! I would highly recommend Wadi Rum Desert dreams for a magical experience, with their great hospitality, in this truly incredible desert, a landscape like no other!

Unforgettable experience in Wadi Rum - Very simple booking. The guide accompanied us throughout the day, making us experience an exciting adventure in the desert. The tour started at 10 am. We visited enchanting places. The attentive and kind guide prepared lunch for us. We saw the sunset in a suggestive place. Dinner in the camp was excellent. The accommodation is very comfortable with a veranda where you can admire the starry sky. After breakfast we returned to the parking lot. Everything perfect, we are very satisfied with the service offered. The value for money is more than adequate

Incredible Experience - We went on a full day jeep tour with Tamir and it was amazing. The tour was well paced and everything was nice. The traditional food cooked in the ground was delicious and the tent really beautiful too! We even played volleyball in the middle of the desert with other groups and Bedouins. Thanks again for this magical experience !

Harikaydı - I went to Wadi Rum in March. It was a wonderful environment. Of course, the local people also had a part in making this environment beautiful. I would like to thank Rashed Was who welcomed me there. He helped me in everything, he was great when organizing the safari, his own hotel was great, everything was top notch, five stars. If you want to make a reservation, I recommend Mr. Rashed. Instagram account: @r5_2g
