Overview

Experience the desert in one day! Explore hidden canyons and ancient sites surrounded by red sand and the dramatic mountains of Wadi Rum.

You will visit the main valley sites on a private 4x4 tour: Lawrence Spring, Red Sand Dune, Khazali Canyon (to visit inscriptions) and Small Arch. Travelling out of the main valley you will visit Lawrence House and viewpoint, Mushroom Rock, Um Fruth Rock Bridge and Abu Khashaba Canyon - a beautiful canyon walk. At midday, the guide will cook lunch for you in the shade. Then, you'll be taken to a wonderful spot to view the sunset before returning to Wadi Rum Village at the end of the day.

At each stop, there's plenty of time to get down from the 4x4 and explore the area on foot and take photographs. Upgrade your tour with a 1 Hour Camel Ride at the beginning of your tour.
