Join us for a 4-hour long Tour by 4×4, experiencing the most important sights and the most beautiful and unique landscapes of the Wadi Rum desert under the guidance of true Bedouin guides born and raised inside the Wadi Rum Protected Area.
Take the opportunity to try Sand-Boarding in the sand dunes of the desert for free and explore the desert on the back of a Camel by adding a Camel Ride to the tour.
Our starting point is the Wadi Rum Rest House in the Wadi Rum Village which is located about 7 km from the Visitor Center and is reachable by normal car.
During this 4-hour Jeep Tour, we will visit and explore some of the most iconic sights of the desert and take some amazing photos.
We will stop at each spot where you will have plenty of time to walk around and explore. Your guide will explain both the historical and cultural significance of each sight and answer all your questions. You can find the full itinerary bellow with some extra details about each place you will be able to visit during this trip.
For some guests the experience will end here by returning to back to the Wadi Rum Rest House.
However, if you choose to spend the night with us, we will continue our trip by driving you to our traditional Bedouin Cave or Camp (which you can choose during the Checkout process).
There we will light up a warm fire, offer you some Bedouin tea and prepare dinner.
Furthermore, we will also provide you with all the necessary equipment like mattresses, warm blankets & pillows in order to safely and comfortably spend the night in the desert.
Usually every night we gather all together around the fire, play Bedouin music, dance and tell stories about the Wadi Rum desert and the Bedouin culture.
Moreover, don’t miss the opportunity to go for a night-time walk in the desert under our guidance and watch the amazing starry night sky.
Finally, the next day, after breakfast, we will take you back to the Wadi Rum Rest House where our adventure started.

The spring is at the top of a short scramble – head for the fig tree, located just 2km south-west of the village of Wadi 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.
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!
Khazali Canyon 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.
Easy to climb, Little Rock 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.
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.
A lower rock bridge which is featured on many tours and can be easily scrambled onto. The climbing takes 5-15 minutes and the view that it offers to the surrounding area is amazing.
