Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Wadi Rum, Wadi Rum, Al Aqabah Governorate
Enjoy the views as you travel through Jordan’s desert landscapes toward the towering cliffs of Wadi Rum. Extending across a huge chunk of south Jordan, this protected valley boasts towering Sandstone Mountains, craggy river beds, and steep gorges; all coated in a kaleidoscope of natural rock colors, from pinks to vivid reds. Explore its spectacular beauty spots in a 2-hour tour by 4x4 Jeep with a Bedouin Driver who is your Local Guide. Photo shoot at The Martian and Star Wars: The Rise of Sky Walker Movie Spot; explore the walk on the moon and mars, trundle through narrow gorges and red desert plains past crimson dunes, natural rock bridges and towers. Amongst this emptiness and silence, visit the seven pillars of wisdom, and the holographic pictures carved before Christ. View ancient inscriptions, and the Lawrence of Arabia Spring; a hidden oasis made famous by T.E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia, where the movie has taken place.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Wadi Rum Village, Wadi Rum Village, Wadi Rum, Al Aqabah Governorate
During WWI, this British officer and archaeologist fought here alongside the Bedouin Arabs against the Ottoman Turks, basing his headquarters in the valley. Many Wadi Rum sites are named after this still-revered British soldier. Have your camera ready as you pass through narrow gorges and plains, framed by natural rock arches, towering buttes, ancient caves, and red dunes. Visit a Bedouin tent to enjoy a glass of refreshing local mint tea and meet the friendly locals. If you wish, upgrade your tour to include another two hours jeep tour to visit the large bridge or upgrade to a 30-minute camel ride in the desert for your exploration to make your visit extra special. When the time comes, reconvene with your driver and relax on your ride back to Petra, where your day trip finishes back at your hotel.

Great tour with very nice Bedouin guide through Wadi Rum. 7 Pillars of Wisdom, thirty minute camel ride, and tea at Bedouin camp. The sand is a reddish color and the rock formations are incredible. Highly recommend this tour. I was a solo traveler and had a wonderful time.
