What to expect

  1. Lawrence's Spring
    40m
    Once you arrive there you can see a natural spring which is used by both the animals and Bedouins as a source of fresh water. This is a popular spot for camels to go to.
    Here, you can follow the pipe up the mountain to climb up to a few fig trees for a great view over the spring and the surrounding desert. Please note this is not an easy climb. Even though it seems easier going up, going down is much more difficult. Be aware you will be needing your hands and feet to hike and climb up the rocks. You can ask your guide for the best way up and down.
  2. Wadi Rum Protected Area
    30m
    Drive through where "Lawrence of Arabia" was filmed on our way to the Sand Dune with 360 view.

    You can hike up this sand dune to the rocky outcrop. Then it's a short easy climb to get to the top. From there you get a 360 degree view of that part of the red desert.

    If you like, you can bring a board and slide down the sand dune or rent one from the tent nearby for 5JOD.

    Opposite the sand dune is the place where they filmed “The Martian”.
  3. Jebel Khazali
    30m
    Short couple of minutes hike inside the canyon with old inscriptions on both sides. You can continue inside a little further, but it gets quite narrow and more difficult to hike and climb at places.
  4. 30m
    Naturally formed rock bridge you can climb onto. It's a short climb, but will require hands and feet.
  5. Lawrence's House
    30m
    See the house where Lawrence of Arabia lived. You can also hike and climb up for a view here. It's relatively short with a moderate climb near the top.
  6. Wadi Rum Protected Area
    2h
    Go to a cave or cooler spot in the shade for a Bedouin-style lunch prepared by the guide. We will stay here to eat, drink and relax until 4pm so we bypass the hottest time of day.
  7. 30m
    Drive through where “Star Wars IX – The rise of Skywalker” was filmed on your way to Mushroom Rock.

    See the geographical wonder that is the mushroom rock.
    If you want, you can listen to traditional Bedouin music while drinking tea next to the rock. (When available.)
  8. 30m
    From the entrance to Burdah Canyon, you'll have a view of the Burdah Rock Bridge, which is the largest natural bridge in Wadi Rum.
    If there's enough time, you can hike through the canyon and back. (Easy hike)
  9. 40m
    About 30-minute hike, with a short moderate climb in the middle, through the canyon. One of the most stunning places in the desert. You will be dropped off at the beginning of the canyon and the jeep will wait for you at the end.
  10. 2h
    Drive through where “Aladdin” was filmed on your way to Um Frouth Bridge.

    Middle-sized natural bridge which you can climb onto. It's a moderate climb and descent.

    Then finally continue onwards to a prime location for a sunset view over the White Desert.

    Best view is a moderate climb up. However, from the smaller rocks the view is also amazing.
  11. Wadi Rum Protected Area
    3h
    Stay the night in our Bedouin style tent and enjoy a Bedouin dinner (mashawi dish, salad, Jordanian bread, tea) while traditional Jordanian live music is performed (when available).

    Your Bedouin guide will be happy to tell you stories about Wadi Rum desert and Bedouin culture when asked. If you want, you can go for a night-time walk in the desert with your Bedouin guide.
