What to expect

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Lawrence's Spring, Wadi Rum Jordan

The spring is at the top of a short scramble – head for the fig tree, located just 2km (1.2 miles) south-west of the village of 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.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Al Ramal Red Sand Dune, GCHC+XHG street, Wadi Rum Village, Jordan

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!

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Wadi Rum Safari Camp, Wadi Rum Protected Area, Wadi Rum Village, Jordan

Khazali Canyon in Wadi Rum 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. In 1932 the French epigraphist Savignac noted the engravings in the cleft and published some of them in 1934.
The petroglyphs and inscriptions of Khazali Siq form an impressive collection being one of the major tourist attractions in Wadi Rum. At the end of the canyon, there are several man-made rock-cut basins for water collection.


Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Wadi Rum Protected Area, Wadi Rum Jordan

Little Rock Bridge:
Easy to climb, this 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.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Lawrence's House, Wadi Rum Village, Wadi Rum Jordan

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.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Wadi Rum Protected Area, Wadi Rum Jordan

Stop for lunch (Gallaya, Hummus, Tuna, Salad, Jordanian bread, Juice).

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Mushroom Rock, صخره الفطره، Wadi Rum Village, Jordan

Sometimes nature performs small miracles. One of them is the Mushroom Rock. Over the centuries, rain and winds have carved this sandstone and gave it the shape of mushroom.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Burdah Rock Bridge, FFFX+CX7, Wadi Rum Village, Jordan

The largest of Rum’s three arches is the Burdah Rock Bridge, precariously perched about 80m above the surrounding rock. There’s a precipitous hike to the summit. It’s height and location offers one of the most terrific sunsets you will ever experience.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Wadi Rum Protected Area, Wadi Rum Jordan

The White Desert is located near the Saudi border, 40 km south of Wadi Rum village. The landscape is similar to the Wadi Rum desert, but the sand is white. It is also an amazing place to see the sunset from.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Abu Khashaba Canyon, FFVC+95J, Wadi Rum Village, Jordan

Wild fig trees and desert bushes among huge rocks and red and yellow sand make this canyon unique. Abu Khashaba Canyon is one of the canyons that are worth to visit and you will need about an hour to walk through.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Um Frouth Rock Arch, FC9X+GM4, Wadi Rum Village, Jordan

A lower rock bridge which is featured on many tours and can be easily scrambled onto. The climbing takes 5-15 minutes (depending on your experience) and the view that it offers to the surrounding area is amazing.

This review is nothing against our driver but rather the organisation and company itself. We rang ahead as we were running late, firstly it seemed they had no recollection of our booking. When we arrived we were greeted with no explanation of the tour and rushed into the truck. It was only us on ...
