("a day with the Bedouin")

This is the fence protecting
the oryx in their blind valley
We start in the village and drive first to Lawrence's Spring and then to the red
sand dunes in Wadi Um Ishrin and to Jebel Anafishiya where you can also see some
Nabatean inscriptions. We continue, visiting "Lawrence's House" from where there
are some great views, and then to the Barragh Canyon. Here we have lunch. There
is an optional short hike in the canyon for about a kilometer.
In the afternoon we drive to where we have a view up the
mountain of the bridge on Jebel Burdah, and then to Um Fruth Bridge (you can
climb this bridge if you like, it is about 20 meters
high) and Khazali Canyon.
From there to the "sunset place" to watch the sunset and to appreciate the
beauty of the changing colours of the landscape. Here we have supper, enjoy the
evening and the stars and stay to sleep.
Price : 60JD per person
for 2 people, 55JD/person for 3 people and
50JD/person for 4 people. This
price includes everything, the jeep, the guide, all meals and
mattresses and blankets for sleeping.
Some people ask if it is possible to
do this trip in two half days, that is arriving in the afternoon and doing much
of the tour the next morning. We should like to do as you ask, but please
understand that this effectively blocks a guide and a car for two days instead
of one. If you really need this schedule we will do it for you, but adding
15JD/person to the prices above. This will be doubled in the high season.
Please
note the page about "Private Tours"
Extra excursions
If you are looking for more than just one
day in Wadi Rum here are a number of possibilities that can
be "added on" to any of the other trips. See also
below for two day programmes.
The
prices indicated take into account that you are already a
client and are not necessarily the prices that would be
charged for the excursion taken alone.

An
extra day in 4x4
going far to the south into the unfrequented valleys around the
beautiful and lonely Wadi Saabit. You would be unlikely to see
anybody or anything other than a few scattered Bedouin
and their tents.
Price : 65JD per person
for 2 people, 55JD/person for 3 people and
50JD/person for 4 people or more. This
price includes everything, the jeep, the guide, all meals and
mattresses and blankets for sleeping.
A
short camel ride
After
a night in the desert, if you wish we can bring you back to Rum Village by
camel! It would take about two hours and will cost 30JD/person or
25JD/person if
you are 4 or more - as always with a mounted guide.
We
could also arrange this at the end of any tour or if you prefer
we could do it at the beginning of a jeep tour, picking you up at the sand dunes
to continue with the tour. The last option is useful if you want to leave on one
of the early morning buses..
Extra night in the desert

An extra
night in the desert can always be arranged either at the beginning or at the end
of your visit. The price would be 20JD/person, including supper, breakfast and a return to the Resthouse at Rum Village.
We can
also offer special prices for people wanting to stay longer than
three
days in the
desert.
