Take an 8-hour long Tour in our 4×4, experiencing the “Highlights” of the Wadi Rum Protected Area.
Take the opportunity to try Sand-Boarding in the sand dunes of the Wadi Rum desert, which is definitely a once in a lifetime experience!
If you choose to spend the night with us, we will drive you to our traditional Bedouin Cave or Camp, light up a warm fire, offer you some Bedouin tea and prepare dinner. We will provide you with mattresses, warm blankets & pillows, as nights in the desert are cold, no matter the season. Usually every night we gather all together, play Bedouin music and tell stories about the Wadi Rum desert and the Bedouin culture.
Don’t miss the opportunity to go for a night-time walk in the desert under our guidance and watch the amazing starry night sky, far away from any light pollution.
“Come as a guest, depart as a friend.”

- Lawrence's Spring: The Spring is at the top of a short scramble - head to the Fig Tree. It is located 2 km southwest of Wadi Rum village. The spring is named in honor of Lawrence's evocative description in The Seven Pillars of Wisdom: "in front of us a path, pale with use, zigzagged up the cliff-plinth... Among the trees, in the hidden crannies of the rock, issued strange cries, the echoes, turned into music, of the Arabs watering the camels at the springs which flowed out three hundred feet above the ground." Although the pool itself is largely unimpressive, being a stagnant puddle, the views across the desert are truly stunning.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area: Among the vast expanses of rust-coloured sand in the Wadi Rum desert, the RED SAND DUNE, or “Al Hasany” in Arabic, is the most famous one. Officially named "Al Ramal", it has become better known by its descriptive name. It stands out against a cliff side, as if it was part of the mountain. Coloured red by the presence of iron oxide, this dune is smooth and soft underfoot making it perfect to walk up barefoot!
- Jebel Khazali: Khazali Canyon is the site of the petroglyphs etched into the caves walls depicting humans and antelopes dating back to the Thamudic era. This narrow valley contains many Nabataean rock carvings of humans and animals. Jebel Khazali, a peak located in the middle of the Wadi Rum Reserve opens up into a narrow crevice about 100 meters long. Its inner walls are covered with Thamudic, Nabataean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well as rock carvings depicting humans and animals. Remarkable are the soles of feet petroglyphs, which might have had religious significance.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area: LITTLE ROCK BRIDGE - Easy to climb, the Little Rock Bridge offers great views across a wide expanse of desert. Accessible and non-hazardous, it's perfect for families with children and people who feel less comfortable with heights under their feet.
- Lawrence's House: Nobody is certain this was Lawrence's home, although there are stories that he resided and/or stored weapons here. However, the current structure is built upon the ruins of a Nabataean building, which is another beautiful spot in the desert. There is little left of this building, which was erected on the Nabataean ruins of a water reservoir. Nonetheless, legend has it that Lawrence stayed here during the Arab Revolt and that's what makes it a must on the regular 4x4 circuits of the area. Near the building is a Nabataean inscription which mentions the area's ancient name, Iram. The remote location and uninterrupted view of the red sand dunes are the main attractions.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area: MUSHROOM ROCK - Sometimes nature performs small miracles. One of them is Mushroom Rock. Over the centuries, rain and wind have sculpted this sandstone and given it the shape of mushrooms.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area: BURDAH ROCK BRIDGE - The largest of Rum's three arches is the Burdah Rock Bridge, perched precariously about 80 meters above the surrounding rocks. There is a precipitous hike to the summit. Its height and location offer one of the most terrific sunsets you will ever experience.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area: ABU KHASHABA CANYON - Wild fig trees and desert bushes among huge boulders and red and yellow sands make this canyon unique. Wadi Abu Khashaba is one of the valleys worth visiting, and you will need about an hour to walk through.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area: UM FROUTH ROCK BRIDGE - A lower rock bridge which is features on many tours and can be easily scrambled onto. The climbing takes 5-15 minutes and the view of the surrounding area is stunning.
- Wadi Rum Protected Area: END TOUR: WATCH THE SUNSET! - We will sit down, relax and enjoy the famous Wadi Rum Sunset.
