Day One jeep tour
You will be starting from Wadi Rum village with your guide in the jeep. We will have water and food with us for the jeep tours. The guide will explain each place you visit along the way today.
The first site you will visit is the Nabatean temple. Then you will head through the small village and into the Wadi Rum protected area where your next stop will be at Lawrence’s Spring. Next, you will go to enjoy the large Red Sand Dunes piled up against the mountains. After this, you will head to the narrow Khazali Canyon to see the ancient rock inscriptions. Next we drive to the Little Arch, a natural formation where you can have a photo taken on top of the arch. From here we move on to Lawrence’s house which is a Nabatean era stone building remains. Your guide will then find a nice shaded spot for lunch break where you can relax a bit, eat and enjoy tea.

Following lunch you will visit more interesting places in the desert. The guide will drive you to the Mushroom Rock which is a large natural formation. Then you will go to the Burdah Rock Bridge where you can see the formation at the top of the mountains. After this you will head to Abu Khashabah canyon where you can take a walk through the cool, beautiful canyon. Then your guide will drive you to the Um Frouth Rock Bridge where you can climb to the top. This is a great spot to take photos.
Evening
Now it is time for the sunset. Your guide will take you to the Um Sabata area, which we think is the best place for viewing the magnificent sunset in Wadi Rum. While enjoying the sunset you will sip the bedouin tea made over the fire. Then he will drive you back to our camp.
Upon arrival to the camp, the team will show you your tent and then you will enjoy the evening with the bedouin. We will have traditional Zarb dinner prepared in the bedouin way of cooking in the ground. After dinner is time for bedouin stories and stargazing.

Day Two jeep tour
The next morning you will have your breakfast in the camp. Then head out with your guide. The first stop will be at the beginning of the Um Muqur canyon. At this spot there is a large dune to enjoy. Then you will head to Wadi Noughra to see a scenic panorama of dunes.
Wadi Sabat is your next place to explore. Two hundred years ago the bedouin here had camel races and celebrations in the huge valley. In the old days this was used as a storage area by the bedouin to preserve food for themselves and their animals from one season to the next. The entire area is quite stunning. Your guide will choose a good spot for your lunch break.
After lunch
You will then head to visit the Um Ghada area to walk the canyon. Your guide will then drive you to see the two small arches, one which is up high and the other is lower. Depending on the time you may also be able to go to see the cistern where the bedouin store water.
After the tour you will be driven back to the village and should arrive around 4:00pm.
Note: A second night overstay can be added to the jeep tours if you would like to enjoy more time in the desert.
