("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.

We usually pause for an hour, sometimes more, after lunch to allow for everybody's digestion and to avoid the heat of the day. If you are not interested in sleeping, this is a good time to spend a while hiking round and taking photos at your leisure without the pressure of continuing the tour. Otherwise you can relax for a bit with a book, perhaps planning your next stop in Jordan.

In the afternoon there is an optional short hike in the canyon for about a kilometer before 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 we head backto the camp from where you can watch the sunset.  A bit later 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.

Camels roaming in Wadi Saabit

An extra day in 4x4 going far to the south into the unfrequented valleys. You would be unlikely to see anybody or anything other than a few scattered Bedouin and their tents.

Price : 70 per person for 2 people, 65JD/person for 3 people and 60JD/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

Moonrise

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.
