    Lawrence's Spring

    Once you arrive there you can see a natural spring which is used by both the animals and Bedouins as a source of fresh water. This is a popular spot for camels to go to. Here, you can follow the pipe up the mountain to climb up to a few fig trees for a great view over the spring and the surrounding desert. Please note this is not an easy climb. Even though it seems easier going up, going down is much more difficult. Be aware you will be needing your hands and feet to hike and climb up the rocks. You can ask your guide for the best way up and down.

    Wadi Rum Protected Area

    Drive through where "Lawrence of Arabia" was filmed on our way to the Sand Dune with 360 view. You can hike up this sand dune to the rocky outcrop. Then it's a short easy climb to get to the top. From there you get a 360 degree view of that part of the red desert. If you like, you can bring a board and slide down the sand dune or rent one from the tent nearby for 5JOD. Opposite the sand dune is the place where they filmed “The Martian”.

    About 30-minute hike, with a short moderate climb in the middle, through the canyon. One of the most stunning places in the desert. You will be dropped off at the beginning of the canyon and the jeep will wait for you at the end.

    Drive through where “Aladdin” was filmed on your way to Um Frouth Bridge. Middle-sized natural bridge which you can climb onto. It's a moderate climb and descent. Then finally continue onwards to a prime location for a sunset view over the White Desert. Best view is a moderate climb up. However, from the smaller rocks the view is also amazing.

  • Wadi Rum Protected Area (Pass by)

    Note: After you arrive in Wadi Rum's Visitor Center, pay the 5JD entrance fee (you don't have to pay if you have a Jordan Pass) and inform the desk you have already booked with a Bedouin Guide - Raad Zalabia or Riad Zalabia. Do not trust any people who are not able to present you with their ID. If we may be so bold to add: This tour will show you the best places Wadi Rum has to offer. However, an overnight stay added to this will give you the Full Bedouin experience! Stay the night in our Bedouin style tent and enjoy a Bedouin dinner (mashawi dish, salad, Jordanian bread, tea) while traditional Jordanian live music is performed (when available). Your Bedouin guide will be happy to tell you stories about Wadi Rum desert and Bedouin culture when asked. If you want, you can go for a night-time walk in the desert with your Bedouin guide. The next day, you can wake up early to catch the sunrise and we will bring you back to the Rest House in Wadi Rum village after breakfast. One night stay with breakfast and dinner included is only 20JOD per person. If required, we can assist you in finding transport to leave Wadi Rum (payment for taxi, bus, car rental etc. is not included).
