What to expect

Lawrence's Spring
20m

We'll visit a small natural spring said to be used by Lawrence of Arabia, offering great views and a glimpse of how my people and their animals found water in the desert over centuries.
Red Sand Dune - Al Ramal
20m

I'll drive us by 4x4 jeep to a tall, soft dune of deep red sand where you can climb for sweeping views or slide down for fun - rumored to have appeared in several blockbuster films
Jebel Khazali
30m

Our next stop is a shaded narrow canyon with ancient petroglyphs on its walls and cool, shaded passages to explore. Ill guide you through the canyon and point out notable inscriptions
20m

We'll walk up to a short, easy-to-reach natural rock arch that’s perfect for photos and quick climbs
Lawrence's House
15m

We end the morning at Lawrence house, remains of Lawrence’s desert base, with breathtaking views and a glimpse into Wadi Rum’s history
Wadi Rum Protected Area
45m

Lunch is the most special part of our tour. I'll take you to visit some of my family at their Bedouin camp while I make you lunch. You'll get a glimpse of animal-rearing in the desert and learn more about what a nomadic and seasonal lifestyle looks like in practice.

This is the most authentic way to experience traditional Bedouin life and is not something many tourists do while visiting Wadi Rum - it is the most important part of this tour for me. Lunch will also be delicious! One of the highlights is Galayet Bandora, a traditional Jordanian Bedouin dish made of tomatoes, olive oil, onions, and spices, served with fresh bread. You'll eat, chat, and see a new side of the desert
20m

After lunch we head to Mushroom Rock, famous rock formation shaped like a giant mushroom created by centuries of wind erosion
20m

Continue onto the Burdah rock bridge viewpoint, one of the most spectacular formations in Wadi Rum. This arch towers over the desert floor - but makes for some of the best views and pictures
40m

Then we walk through Abu Khashaba canyon (30–45 min hike), a peaceful walking canyon with soft sand, shaded spots, and beautiful rock walls on both sides, while the jeep meets you at the other side
30m

Next stop is Um Fruth rock bridge, where you can climb for amazing photos. Then we stop by Chicken Rock, a quirky rock formation shaped like a chicken, adding a lighthearted stop on your Wadi Rum adventure
30m

As the day comes to an end, we reach Um Sabatah, renowned for its sweeping desert views and breathtaking sunsets. As we enjoy the golden colors over the soft sand, sip a traditional Bedouin tea by the fire and soak in the magical atmosphere. After this unforgettable desert moment, we drive back to Wadi Rum Village
