A day with a Bedouin
Classic Jeeptour
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 to allow for everybody's digestion and to avoid the heat of the day. After lunch there 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 back to 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.
Some people ask if it's possible to do this trip in two half days, that means arriving in the afternoon and doing much of the tour the next morning. We can offer this, but please understand that this effectively blocks a guide and a car for two days instead of one. If you need this schedule, we need to add 15 JD/person to the prices above. This will be doubled in the high season.
A lot of our guests ask for an additional camel ride. There are two possibilities :
- at the beginning of your trip, you will start by 1h camel riding to Lawrence spring and the jeep will pick you up from there : + 20 JOD / person
- at the end of the trip, you can come back from the camp to Wadi Rum village. this is 2h ride, you will be in the village around 10:30 AM : + 30 JOD / person
This has to be booked own advance because we have to find enough camels to make everybody happy, especially in the season !
