The problem with hiking in Wadi Rum is that many people find that just walking in sandy valleys, however beautiful, becomes boring after a fairly short time. For us this is a challenge, and we have therefore put in place the following practice. We concentrate on short hikes of 3 or 4 hours, often less, through the narrower valleys and canyons and we intersperse these hikes with jeep rides when the walking becomes monotonous. This is very popular, since in this way tourists can get a maximum of sightseeing in a jeep as well as covering more ground and having a more attractive walk. We offer here one and two day tours, but they can easily be extended, either by adding on all or part of another programme, or by taking a few other routes not described here.
We can also provide a more varied week in Wadi Rum by combining the hiking
trips with the simpler scrambling. Many groups coming from tourist agencies
much appreciate our week long trekking tours in Wadi Rum.
