One day (or more) hiking on
desert tracks
For those who look for simple hiking in Wadi Rum, without
going up into the mountains, the possibilities are endless! The valleys are
all beautiful, and it is easy to avoid the main tourist trails.
There are a great many routes that we use regularly,
according to the time available, to the weather and to other factors - like
most people, each guide has his favourites!
 We
call a pause lunchtime, usually of at least two hours, to allow a reasonable
time for digesting and to avoid the hottest time of day. It is a good idea
to bring something along to do during this time if you don't want to take a
nap - a book, a pack of cards, a journal to write up or a guide book to
check on your future plans. If you really don't want to rest, you can
always explore the immediate neighbourhood and take photos at your leisure,
without the guide.
 We
generally reckon to hike about five to six hours in a day, before returning
to the camp for the night. For most people this would be 12 to 18kms. If we
should not reach the end of the prescribed route for whatever reason, the
jeep will come to pick us up.
We can combine several different routes to give a good
hiking holiday here, if you want to stay for more than just one day.
Footwear
: these trails
are straightforward, and hiking boots are not necessary. You can wear
trainers, boat shoes or trekking sandals as you like. You will probably
appreciate cotton socks.
Other equipment
: You
are likely to be in the
sun for much of the time and should have a head covering of some sort - this
is the time to learn how to tie a Bedouin kefiya!
You will also need a rucksack or shoulder bag for water, and
such oddments as your camera, sunscreen, a light
sweater according to season and perhaps some biscuits or fruit for a snack.
Price :
for 2-3 people 75JD/person
for one day or 70JD/person for more than one day.
This includes all meals and sleeping equipment .
Please see the
page about "Private tours". People
travelling alone should look a the page for "Solo
travellers".
