Enjoy the ultimate jeep safari with an experienced local Bedouin guide, showing you all the Highlights of Wadi Rum! Feel on top of the world by standing on top of a rock bridge, cool down in the canyon or have fun by running down from a sand dune.

At each stop the guide will tell you a story about the sight and you get the time to explore, take pictures, interact with local Bedouins, walk around or even climb. Some sights have shops where Bedouins offer free tea, souvenirs, and a place to sit and relax.

We also prepare a delicious Bedouin lunch, cooked outside on the fire. And at the end of the tour, we watch the sunset from the best viewpoint.

For the ultimate Wadi Rum experience, you can also book an overnight stay in a tent at our camp, or sleep under the stars in a cave.

You will visit the following sights: Lawrence spring, Khazali Canyon, Red sand dune, Little bridge, Um Fruth Rock Bridge, Abu khashaba canyon, Lawrence house, White desert, Mushroom rock and Burdah rock bridge

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Wadi Rum Village - We will meet at the Rest House in Wadi Rum Village. This is the first place you will see on your right, when you enter the village. There is a supermarket and a souvenir shop and our office is just around the corner. When all tourists are present and welcomed by the guide, we start the jeep tour (usually around 10:00)
2.
Lawrence Spring - This natural water source with cool water running down the mountains into the throughs, is the camels' favorite hangout! With small trees and the almost fluorescent green moss, this is a true oasis. Relax here, just as the Bedouins and their herds used to do, and watch how herds of camels pass by, longing for fresh water. Or climb up the mountain to see spectacular views and the many inscriptions of Thamudic origin.
3.
Khazali Canyon - From the outside, this looks like an ordinary mountain, but when you enter the canyon between the split mountains, you take a journey back in time. You can see the traces of the merchants who traveled with their caravans from Egypt to Damascus, and of the pilgrims who passed through the canyon to Mecca. See the fascinating Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, and petroglyphs of humans, animals, and soles of feet when you enter the canyon. And a series of basins in the back.
4.
Red Sand Dune - This is the most famous sand dune in Wadi Rum! It owes its red color to a high concentration of iron oxide. It seems like a simple climb, but the sand is soft and difficult to walk on, which can make it challenging for tourists to climb, but very entertaining for the locals to watch. At the top you can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the valley. The best way to get down is running or sandboarding.
5.
Little Bridge - Through years of various severe weather influences, this natural Little Bridge has been formed on a rock formation in the Khor El Ajram area. It is called Little Bridge because it’s only a few meters high and easy to climb, but the views are stunning and on pictures it looks pretty big and impressive. It’s perfect for families with children, and those who don’t want to climb too high. When you come down again, a cup of sweet tea awaits you in the Bedouin tent where you can buy souvenirs or relax and hang out with locals.
6.
Umm Fruth Rock Bridge - This 15-meter-high bridge is the most famous bridge in Wadi Rum. It is not a historical place but it is the ultimate place to take enviable photos. Give your phone or camera to your guide who will stay on the ground and take an impressive photo of you on top of the bridge. The locals run up and down the bridge with ease, but for tourists it is a bit more challenging. That is why small holes have been made which makes the climb a bit easier.
7.
Traditional Bedouin Lunch - We will take you to a nice place with a good view, where your guide prepares a delicious traditional lunch, cooked outside on the fire. The menu is different every day, but we like to cook you a warm meal with vegetables, bread, hummus, yoghurt, and other local treats. While we are cooking, you can explore the area with a hike, or just sit down and relax while you enjoy the Wadi Rum landscape.
8.
Abu Khashaba Canyon - Stretch your legs and enjoy a nice walk in this deep narrow valley, surrounded by tall mountain walls. There’s a lot of green, which makes a beautiful contrast with the red desert sand. You will see many different types of trees and plants, and hear countless birds chirping. The locals have hung bottles to collect the rainwater so that the birds can drink from it. It is a real oasis of peace. The walk takes 30 to 45 minutes, and your guide will pick you up on the other side.
9.
Lawrence's House - Lawrence's house plays an important role in the history of Wadi Rum. Nabateans laid the foundation for this place over 2000 years ago which was used as a stop for the passing caravans. Later it became known as Lawrence's house, because TE Lawrence, in the story "Lawrence of Arabia" was based here. When you reach the top after a short climb, you will be amazed by the countless piles of stones. In the past, the Bedouins used to stack stones as road markings. You can see far into the vast desert plain, which again makes for great photos.
10.
White Desert - Wadi Rum is known for the red sand where most of the highlights of the tour are, but further south the area changes into the white desert. It seems as if you have entered a completely different world. This area is not yet heavily visited by tourists, so there is much more flora to discover and a better chance to spot wildlife. It’s very special to stand in the white sand and see the transition to the red part in the distance. You can also notice a difference in the landscape, the rock formations and even the sand itself.
11.
Mushroom Rock - In Wadi Rum there are many famous rock formations, known for its unusual and sometimes even funny shape. The Musroom shaped rock owes its shape to years of erosion, with the lower part wearing out faster than the upper part. Mushroom Rock is fun place to take nice pictures and find some shelter. Bedouins used rock formations like this to seek shelter, after walking in the hot desert for hours.
12.
Burdah Rock Bridge - At the top of Jabal Burdah, you will find one of the highest natural rock bridges in the world. During the jeep tour we make a stop close by so that we can admire the bridge from a distance. The total climb to the bridge can take up to 4 hours, this is not included in the jeep tour and can be booked via a hiking tour or upon request.
13.
Sunset Viewpoint - Wadi Rum is known for having the most breathtaking sunsets. Each day we see different colors! And we know the best places to watch it! We will take you to a secluded area where you can overlook the wide panoramic landscape as the sun sets, while we prepare some sweet Bedouin tea on the fire. Just sit on the mattrass or in the sand and take in all the beauty you see around you.
14.
Wadi Rum Village - After the tour we will drop you off again at the Rest House in the Wadi Rum village

I was very lucky to be the only passenger on the tour. This did mean we finished two hours earlier than expected and missed the sunset, although the weather was very overcast, so I didn't mind.
The tour guide was really friendly and knowledgeable and I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone.

Instructions for what to expect and where to meet were really clear. We drove our car to Wadi Rum village and met our tour guide Tamir and the other 3 members of the group. Wadi Rum is spectacular and the tour showed us many of the highlights it has to offer. There is the opportunity to climb/scramble up to some viewpoints so wear good shoes. Tea was provided at many of the stops and a good lunch was provided at one of the camps. Our jeep was not the newest or best condition vehicle but it didn’t matter and Tamir kept our group entertained and took some amazing pictures and videos for us. It was a really special memorable day and excellent value for money!

In short, Bakhir was amazing! He showed us wonderful locations that we otherwise would not have been able to find by ourselves. The trip was long enough to feel that you made out the most of the day. We really enjoyed the spots Bakhir chose, they were combinations of tourist populated attractions and hidden gems. Lunch was tasty and extremely enjoyable, especially that we had it in a very calm and peaceful campsite. We ended the day watching the beautiful sunset from Bakhir's hidden gem spot, which wrapped up the tour in a very delightful way! Needless to say, we all enjoyed the trip and will definitely recommend this tour to our friends.

We had a great time. Baker was amazing and made sure that we all enjoyed our experience. He helped us climb mountains that we thought we wouldn’t be able to climb. He was patient. Everyone else in his team was friendly as well. Lunch was fresh and tasty. Would recommend 100%
