HIKING & TREKKING TOURS
There are many different possibilites how to explore the desert by foot. We offer hikes of 3 or 4 hours or less, through the narrower valleys and canyons and we usually combine these hikes with jeep rides. This is very popular, since this way our guests get to see many sights by jeep as well as getting to enjoy a walk through the beautiful landscape. You can also combine a daily hiking trip with a one day long jeep tour and/or one day on a camel. See the jeep/hike programme and the jeep/hike/camel.
For dedicated walkers we also offer a full day's hiking, with no jeep at all. You might like to look at the page "One day (or more) hiking". Every programme can be combined with others.
For those who want to spend a whole week in Wadi Rum we also offer combinations of hiking trips with simpler scrambling. Many groups coming from tourist agencies give us a good feedback on our week long trekking tours in Wadi Rum.
Footwear: These trails are flat and therefore hiking boots are not necessary, so you can wear footwear which is comfortable enough for a few hours in the desert.
Other equipment : Because you will be in the sun for most of the time you should cover your head somehow - this would be an opportunity to learn how to tie a Bedouin kefiya!
You should bring a backpack or shoulder bag for water, and other things like your camera, sunscreen, a light sweater depending on the season and perhaps a small snack.
In the following our hiking programmes:
Small Three Bridges: A one day jeep program with two short hikes of no particular difficulty
Jeep to Burdah Arch: A one day jeep tour in the morning and a climb to the famous Arch in the afternoon
The Khasch Route: 2 days - one day by jeep and one day hiking along a mountain ridge
The Open Desert Trip: 2 days hiking along desert tracks
Three Bridges Trek: 2 days active scrambling
Five days hiking and scrambling: Mainly hiking, this goes to the area around Rum Village by foot
Um Adaami: A one day transfer to the Saudi border and a climb of the highest mountain in Jordan
Wadi Rum Adventure: A 4 day selection of different programs from which you can choose
If you have different wishes or ideas we can always arrange something for you personally!
