"The Khasch Route"
A 2 day jeep and hiking tour
We start with a full day in 4x4 following the "Day with the Bedouin" route (see the note below for a variation).
The second day, after a night in the desert we drive south through the largely deserted southern valleys to Jebel Khasch, a high ridge stretching east to west for several kilometers.

The second day, after a night in the desert we drive south through the largely deserted southern valleys to Jebel Khasch, a high ridge stretching east to west for several kilometers.
We walk along the top of the ridge for 3-4 hours, admiring the views of Wadi Rum to the North and Saudi Arabia to the South. This is a magnificent walk and always very popular. When we come down from the ridge we have lunch.
After lunch, we can take another short hike, or if you prefer, make a leisurely return to Rum Village in the jeep at the end of the afternoon. A second night in the desert can be added on if you wish or we can take you "From Um Adaami to Aqaba".

We highly recommend this 2 day tour, which we believe provides the best Wadi Rum visit possible for those who enjoy hiking off the road.
A good variation on this trip would be to substitute the Jeep to Burdah Arch program for the Day with the Bedouin. This lets you do a bit of scrambling and takes you up to the famous Arch with a magnificent view around Wadi Rum. The price of the combined programs Jeep to Burdah Arch/Khasch Walk would be 140JD/person instead of 120JD/person. All other conditions are the same - see the web page on "Tour Conditions".
