- Lawrence’s Spring - Upon arrival, you’ll discover a natural spring that serves as a fresh water source for both animals and Bedouins. This spot is particularly popular with camels. You can follow the pipe up the mountain to reach a few fig trees, offering a stunning view of the spring and the surrounding desert. Please note, this climb is challenging. While ascending may seem easier, descending is more difficult. You will need to use both hands and feet to hike and climb the rocks. It’s advisable to ask your guide for the best route up and down.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area - Drive through the area where “Lawrence of Arabia” was filmed on the way to the Sand Dune with a 360-degree view.
You can hike up this sand dune to the rocky outcrop, followed by a short, easy climb to the top. From there, enjoy a 360-degree view of this part of the red desert.
If you wish, you can bring a board to slide down the sand dune or rent one from the nearby tent for 5 JOD.
Opposite the sand dune is the location where “The Martian” was filmed.
- Jebel Khazali - A short hike of a few minutes inside the canyon reveals ancient inscriptions on both sides. You can venture further inside, but it becomes narrower and more challenging to hike and climb.
- Little Bridge - A naturally formed rock bridge that you can climb onto. It’s a short climb but requires the use of hands and feet.
- Lawrence’s House - Visit the house where Lawrence of Arabia lived. You can also hike and climb for a view here. It’s a relatively short hike with a moderate climb near the top.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area - Head to a cave or shaded spot for a Bedouin-style lunch prepared by the guide. Relax here until 4 pm to avoid the hottest part of the day.
- Mushroom Rock - Drive through the area where “Star Wars IX – The Rise of Skywalker” was filmed on your way to Mushroom Rock.
Witness the geographical marvel that is Mushroom Rock. If you wish, enjoy traditional Bedouin music while sipping tea next to the rock (when available).
- Um Frouth Rock Arch - From the entrance to Burdah Canyon, you’ll have a view of the Burdah Rock Bridge, the largest natural bridge in Wadi Rum. If time permits, you can hike through the canyon and back (easy hike).
- Burrah Canyon - A 30-minute hike with a short, moderate climb in the middle, through the canyon. It’s one of the most breathtaking places in the desert. You’ll be dropped off at the canyon’s start, and the jeep will wait for you at the end.
- Um Frouth Rock Arch - Drive through the area where “Aladdin” was filmed on your way to Um Frouth Bridge.
This medium-sized natural bridge is climbable. It’s a moderate climb and descent.
Finally, continue to a prime location for a sunset view over the White Desert.
The best view requires a moderate climb, but the view from the smaller rocks is also spectacular.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area - Note: Upon arrival at Wadi Rum’s Visitor Center, pay the 5 JD entrance fee (waived with a Jordan Pass) and inform the desk that you have booked with a Bedouin Guide - Raad Zalabia or Riad Zalabia. Do not trust anyone unable to present their ID.
If we may suggest:
This tour showcases the best of Wadi Rum. However, adding an overnight stay will provide the full Bedouin experience!
Spend the night in our Bedouin-style tent and enjoy a Bedouin dinner (mashawi dish, salad, Jordanian bread, tea) accompanied by traditional Jordanian live music (when available).
Your Bedouin guide will gladly share stories about the Wadi Rum desert and Bedouin culture upon request. If desired, you can take a nighttime walk in the desert with your Bedouin guide.
The next day, rise early to catch the sunrise, and we will return you to the Rest House in Wadi Rum village after breakfast. One night’s stay with breakfast and dinner included is only 20 JOD per person.
If needed, we can assist in arranging transport to leave Wadi Rum (payment for taxi, bus, car rental, etc., is not included).
