Full Day Jeep Tour and Overnight in Wadi Rum
Things to know
About the Activity
Your tour with us is a full day jeep tour and overnight stay. On the jeep tour you will see towering mountains, unique rock formations, rock bridges, petroglyphs, and sand dunes. There's a short hike through a shaded canyon. Your tour guides love their desert, and want to share their knowledge with you. They are relaxed and flexible, moving at the pace you want. At each site you will have time to explore and take photos. Lunch is cooked over a fire by your your guide. You will arrive at our camp just before sunset. Our camp is located 11 kms south of Wadi Rum village, and has spectacular sunset views. It's also a great location for star gazing, and counting the shooting stars. Our visitors remark on the total silence they experience at our camp location. It is relatively small, accommodating up to 22 guests, so it's ideal for families and groups who want a private setting. Our aim is to provide great hospitality and memories to last a lifetime.23 hours 30 minutes

Lawrence's Spring
, JordanLawrence Spring -
After meeting you in Wadi Rum village, we set off on our jeep tour, and our first stop is Lawrence Spring.
Known by locals as Ain Abu Aineh, Lawrence Spring is located a short walk up the mountain (Jebel Rum) from where we stop, and you are welcome to follow the pipeline and hike up to the spring. There are spectacular views from there. The pipeline brings water down to a long water trough where camels come to drink. Nearby is a large rock with ancient hieroglyphs written by the Nabateans who lived in the area about 300 B.C.

Wadi Rum Protected Area
JordanRed Sand Dunes -
We next drive to the Red Sand Dunes. It is a high dune of beautiful soft red sand. You can climb to the top of the dune where there is a rocky plateau with panoramic 360 degree views of a large open area of desert, surrounded by three mountains - Jebel Rum, Um Ishrin, and Jebel Khazali.

Jebel Khazali
, JordanKhazali Canyon -
We stop near Khazali Canyon, and take a few minutes walk to a small split in the mountain of Khazali, which opens to a high-walled canyon. Sunlight filters down between the canyon walls, showing all the shades of pink and brown and grey on the rock walls. There are three rocks pools about 20 metres into the canyon, dry in summer, and full of water after the occasional rain in the winter months.
Khazali Canyon is famous for the variety of rock art and inscriptions found there - carved by the peoples who have lived in the area over the centuries - Thamudic, Arab, and Nabatean. There are petroglyths of humans, animals, and footprints. Also Kufic writing, an early Arabic script, is inscribed on the walls.

Little Rock Bridge -
Also known as Little Arch. Next we stop near a small rock outcrop, and it is an easy walk up to the rock bridge. This is a great place for photographs standing on the centre of the bridge.
Note: Littie Rock Bridge is located in the desert, not in Wadi Rum village as Viator has written as the only option for the address.40 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Lawrence's House
Wadi Rum Village, JordanLawrence House -
Lawrence House is located about 10 minutes drive to the south-east from Little Rock Bridge, far into the Wadi Rum desert. The house is thought to be first built on top of Nabetean ruins, and there is a small Nabatean inscription on the rocks close by. It is reported, but not known for sure, that T. E. Lawrence (of Lawrence of Arabia fame) stayed at this house during his time living with Bedouin in the Wadi Rum area.
Looking from the house towards the northeast the view extends for many kilometres along the valley floor, and turning to the south there is an even more distant view. It's easy to imagine that this was a great strategic lookout point for both the Nabatean of thousands of years ago, and Lawrence and the Bedouin tribes during the Arab revolt against the Turks of a 100 years ago.
Today there is just the remains of the house and the silence of the desert. 30 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location6
Wadi Rum Protected Area
JordanLunch stop -
In the middle the day we stop for lunch. We will find a cool place to stop if you visit during the summer months. Your guide will prepare your food fresh, cooking galayet bandora over a fire, and serving it with a variety of dishes - including hummus, tomatoes and cucumbers, bread, and more.
You will have time to relax, and also explore the area.1 hour 20 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location7
Mushroom Rock -
Our first stop after lunch is Mushroom Rock, located far in the desert, (not in the village). This is one of the many intriguing rock formations that are found throughout the Wadi Rum desert. As the name suggests, the rock looks like a mushroom, and lends itself to great photo opportunities, as you experiment with "holding up" this enormous rock. 35 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
8
Burdah Rock Bridge -
Our next stop is near Burdah Rock Bridge. This rock arch is part of the Burdah mountain range and towers 300m above the valley floor. Although we do provide a full day tour that includes a hike to the top and down again, on this tour we do not climb up to the arch, but we stop and view the arch from the other side of the valley floor far below. 40 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
