Tour Program
Day 1: When you reach Wadi Rum you will arrive at the Wadi Rum Visitor Centre, the gateway to the Wadi Rum Protected Area. Here is where you will pay the entrance fees or enter with the Jordan Pass. After the Visitor Centre, you will continue onward for about 6km to the Wadi Rum Village until you reach the Wadi Rum Rest House. Here I will greet you and lead you inside for a short rest and a cup of delicious Bedouin tea. With a map, I will chat with you about the day's plans. Once the tea is finished, we will set off into the desert.
​
The first stop on this tour is a visit to Lawrence's Spring and continues onward to Khazali Canyon, "The Map", the Sand Dunes, the Anfashieh inscriptions, Lawrence's House, Um Fruth Bridge, the red and white deserts (one hour hiking in the desert) and the red sand dune (a specialty of our tours).
​
Following the jeep tour, we will make our way to the camp where you can enjoy a fantastic view of the setting sun moving behind the desert mountains. After the sunset, you will gather in our big tent where we serve a buffet style meal of traditional Bedouin dishes. After dinner, you can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere as your guide plays some local music on a traditional instrument. When you are ready for bed, you can head back to your private tent or camp out beneath the starry night sky.
​
Day 2: After breakfast, we start by taking the jeep to Burdah Bridge. We will scramble up to the arch and make our way across. Next, we go down via the same route or, if you are really comfortable with heights, by a long crack back to the starting point. After that, we will have lunch and then we will go back to Rum Village.
