Heldags Jeep-tur og overnatning i Wadi Rum
Beskrivelse
Din tur med os er en heldags jeep-tur og overnatning. På jeep-turen vil du se tårnhøje bjerge, unikke klippeformationer, klippebroer, helleristninger og klitter. Der er en kort vandretur gennem en skyggefuld kløft. Dine rejseledere elsker deres ørken og vil gerne dele deres viden med dig. De er afslappede og fleksible og bevæger sig i det tempo, du ønsker. På hvert sted vil du have tid til at udforske og tage billeder. Frokosten tilberedes over bål af din guide. Du ankommer til vores lejr lige før solnedgang. Vores lejr ligger 11 km syd for landsbyen Wadi Rum og har en spektakulær udsigt over solnedgangen. Det er også et fantastisk sted for stjernekiggeri og tælle stjerneskud. Vores besøgende bemærker den totale stilhed, de oplever på vores lejrplads. Det er relativt lille og kan rumme op til 22 gæster, så det er ideelt for familier og grupper, der ønsker private rammer. Vores mål er at give stor gæstfrihed og minder, der holder hele livet.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Lawrence Spring - Efter at have mødt dig i landsbyen Wadi Rum, tog vi afsted på vores jeep-tur, og vores første stop er Lawrence Spring. Kendt af lokalbefolkningen som Ain Abu Aineh, Lawrence Spring ligger en kort gåtur op ad bjerget (Jebel Rum), hvorfra vi stopper, og du er velkommen til at følge rørledningen og vandre op til kilden. Der er en spektakulær udsigt derfra. Rørledningen bringer vand ned til et langt vandtrug, hvor kameler kommer for at drikke. I nærheden ligger en stor klippe med gamle hieroglyffer skrevet af nabatæerne, der boede i området omkring 300 f.v.t.
Røde sandklitter - Vi kører derefter til de røde sandklitter. Det er en høj klit af smukt blødt rødt sand. Du kan klatre til toppen af klitten, hvor der er et klippefyldt plateau med panoramaudsigt på 360 grader over et stort åbent ørkenområde, omgivet af tre bjerge - Jebel Rum, Um Ishrin og Jebel Khazali.
Khazali Canyon - Vi stopper nær Khazali Canyon, og går et par minutters gang til en lille kløft i bjerget Khazali, som åbner til en højmuret kløft. Sollyset filtrerer ned mellem canyonens vægge og viser alle nuancerne af pink og brun og grå på klippevæggene. Der er tre klippebassiner omkring 20 meter inde i kløften, tørre om sommeren og fulde af vand efter lejlighedsvis regn i vintermånederne. Khazali Canyon er berømt for den mangfoldighed af klippekunst og inskriptioner, der findes der - udskåret af de folk, der har boet i området gennem århundreder - Thamudisk, Arabisk og Nabatean. Der er petroglyter af mennesker, dyr og fodspor. Også kufisk skrift, en tidlig arabisk skrift, er indskrevet på væggene.
Little Rock Bridge - Også kendt som Little Arch. Dernæst stopper vi nær et lille klippefremspring, og det er en let gåtur op til klippebroen. Dette er et fantastisk sted for fotografier stående på midten af broen. Bemærk: Littie Rock Bridge ligger i ørkenen, ikke i landsbyen Wadi Rum, som Viator har skrevet som den eneste mulighed for adressen.
Lawrence House - Lawrence House ligger omkring 10 minutters kørsel mod sydøst fra Little Rock Bridge, langt ind i Wadi Rum-ørkenen. Huset menes først at være bygget oven på nabetæiske ruiner, og der er en lille nabatæisk inskription på klipperne tæt ved. Det er rapporteret, men ikke kendt med sikkerhed, at T. E. Lawrence (af Lawrence of Arabia berømmelse) opholdt sig i dette hus, mens han boede hos beduiner i Wadi Rum-området. Ser man fra huset mod nordøst strækker udsigten sig mange kilometer langs dalbunden, og drejer man mod syd er der en endnu fjernere udsigt. Det er let at forestille sig, at dette var et fantastisk strategisk udkigspunkt for både nabatæerne for tusinder af år siden og Lawrence og beduinstammerne under det arabiske oprør mod tyrkerne for 100 år siden. I dag er der bare resterne af huset og ørkenens stilhed.
Frokost stop - Midt på dagen stopper vi til frokost. Vi finder et fedt sted at stoppe, hvis du besøger i sommermånederne. Din guide vil tilberede din mad frisk, tilberede galayet bandora over bål og servere den med en række retter - inklusive hummus, tomater og agurker, brød og mere. Du vil have tid til at slappe af og også udforske området.
Svampesten - Vores første stop efter frokost er Mushroom Rock, der ligger langt inde i ørkenen (ikke i landsbyen). Dette er en af de mange spændende klippeformationer, der findes i hele Wadi Rum-ørkenen. Som navnet antyder, ligner klippen en svamp, og giver gode fotomuligheder, når du eksperimenterer med at "holde op" denne enorme sten.
Burdah Rock Bridge - Vores næste stop er nær Burdah Rock Bridge. Denne klippebue er en del af Burdah-bjergkæden og rager 300 m over dalbunden. Selvom vi tilbyder en hel dagstur, der inkluderer en vandretur til toppen og ned igen, klatrer vi på denne tur ikke op til buen, men vi stopper og ser buen fra den anden side af dalbunden langt nede.
Abu Khashaba Canyon og klitter - Abu Khashaba Canyon - Et af højdepunkterne på din dag er gåturen gennem Abu Khashaba Canyon. Vi shopper jeepen og viser dig indgangen til canyonen, og så kører din guide rundt om bjerget til den anden ende af canyonen og venter på dig der. Vandringen er let med et kort stenet parti i midten. Varigheden vil være omkring 35 minutter, eller mindre tid for meget raske mennesker. Men det er godt at tage sig god tid og nyde træerne og de kølige temperaturer. Abu Khashaba sandklitter - Nær hvor du kommer ud af kløften er der en klit, der er perfekt til sandboarding. Vi leverer et sandbræt til dig (gratis) og lader dig have det sjovt i sandet.
Um Frouth Rock Bridge - Endnu et fantastisk sted og en favoritattraktion på vores rejseplan, og den sidste klippebue besøger vi på denne tur. Det er i den hvide ørken, og hvorfra vi stopper jeepen, er Um Frouth næsten usynlig med så mange ensfarvede sten i baggrunden. De fleste mennesker er i stand til at klatre til toppen og endda gå over broen.
Kyllingesten - Dette er en anden interessant klippeformation, der fra én retning ligner en kylling. Nogle ser en ko, når de ser på den. Du bestemmer. Bløde sandklitter - I nærheden ligger en stor klit (fritstående, ikke mod et bjerg), der er lavet af meget blødt sand. Vinden laver smukke designs og krusninger i sandet på denne klit, og sporene af små biller og firben er tydeligt synlige og giver fantastiske fotografier.
Solnedgangsvisning og overnatning - inkluderer middag og morgenmad. Et par minutters kørsel fra Chicken Rock ankommer vi til vores lejr - dagens sidste stop - i tide til at se solnedgangen. Det er her du vil tilbringe din aften og overnatning. Vores lejr er beliggende i Um Sabatah-området i Wadi Rum-ørkenen, berømt for spektakulære solnedgange. Slap af med en kop beduin-te i vores spisetelt, sæt dig i det røde sand lidt længere væk, eller bestig det lille bjerg bag vores lejr. Hvert sted har panoramaudsigt over solnedgangen. Efter middagen læner vi os tilbage på behagelige måtter omkring bålet, i vores beduintelt (om vinteren) eller udenfor under den stjernefyldte himmel (om sommeren), og nyder te og samtaler, synger og danser og tæller stjerneskud. Vi taler om vores beduinkultur og svarer på dine spørgsmål om ørkenlivet. Når du er træt, kan du trække dig tilbage til dit telt for en afslappende søvn i ørkenens stilhed. Vi vender tilbage til landsbyen Wadi Rum kl. 8.30 næste morgen.

I was alone but made to feel so welcome. The tents were way more comfortable than expected, the food was surprisingly delicious, it was all excellent value I thought. It's the furthest camp from the village so no disturbances at all. A grazing camel even wandered over! I loved the tour as well, even had lunch cooked in the shade of a hill. It's an amazing experience in every way. Thanks team!
Thank you, Lucy, or your kind review. We were happy to welcome you to Wadi Rum and show you our desert. Come back anytime.
It was one of the best experiences for me and my family. We started with a camel ride in the beautiful desert then checked out the canions and arcs, the nature is incredibly fascinating. The people, Salem the host and Francis, are amazing people that made this experience even better. We slept under the stars which was an unbelievable, with the most beautiful views. Would recommend 100%, It was an unforgettable experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review for us. And we're happy that you enjoyed your visit to Wadi Rum and the activities you experienced here (camel ride, sleeping under the stars, jeep tour...) We enjoyed meeting you and being your hosts. Thank you for recommending us to readers of these reviews. Welcome back any time.
I had an amazing experience doing an under the stars overnight stay and jeep tour with Salem. The Bedouin food and tea were excellent. And jeep tour in the morning was amazing too. Salem is very knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to write a review for us. We really appreciate it. We're happy that you enjoyed your overnight stay and jeep tour of Wadi Rum. You are welcome back any time.
Had an absolutely incredible time in the desert with Salem and his brothers. The camp was just as expected – very comfortable and really felt like you were out in the desert on your own, because you basically were! The stars were amazing, and had a perfect time laying out next to the fire just looking up at the night sky. The tour was great fun, and Salem was the perfect guide – accommodating all of our needs, and being very knowledgeable and lots of fun. The food was incredible and we couldn't have asked for better hospitality. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to Jordan, which is an all round amazing country with great people. Thank you for making it a once in a lifetime experience.
Thank you for your kind review, we appreciate you taking the time to let other people know about your experience on the jeep tour and also at our camp. Yes, we are lucky to be located in such a beautiful location and in a quiet part of the desert. Sunset views, star-gazing... We welcome you if you are ever able to visit again.
We spent a very beautiful and rewarding day in the desert of Wadi Rum with Salem, an attentive guide, patient and real wealth of information. He took us to 12 different spots, all interesting and varied. We also had the chance to share a generous lunch with his family, a warm moment during which we discussed and exchanged well. In the evening we spent the night in his camp. We were the only guests that day, which allowed us to spend a privileged time with Salem around dinner. The tent was comfortable, and even though the sky was overcast — depriving us of the sunset and stars — the experience remained memorable
Thank you for your kind words and detailed account. We really appreciate you taking the time to write a review for us. You are welcome back any time.
I travelled to Jordan alone and Salim and Frances were soooo good at communicating all relevant information before my stay, alleviating any anxieties. Due to the quiet tourist period, related to people's anxieties about the Israeli war, I was the only guest at the camp and Salim and Frances were absolutely wonderful at making me feel so welcome and comfortable. I stayed overnight and had a 3hr jeep tour in the morning. It was honestly one of the best experiences I've had travelling. The environment was beautiful, the sights which Salim took me to were stunning and the service was overall great. Couldn't recommend enough.
Thank you, Tarah, for your kind words. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review. It was lovely to have you stay and we're happy you enjoyed your overnight and tour with us. The desert is still beautiful, the stars still shine at night, and you're welcome back any time.
The real Bedouin are serving it. Wadi Rum is divided into two areas: Protected area and Diseh. This will be the former. Discounts are available for stays of 2 nights or more. Restrooms and showers are communal. I especially recommend the OP "Sleeping under the stars". 15JD per person. It was great to sleep under the stars. I was able to see many shooting stars. All three meals were voluptuous and delicious. The most impressive thing is the birthday surprise. We were able to meet with them beforehand by email and it was a great success. My friend was quite happy. Please note that you will be approached by a variety of people at the Visitor Center, which is the entrance, but you must not speak to anyone. Fraud is rampant, scamming people out of money. If they talk to you, please ignore them at all. Also, there are no ATMs on site. You will need to have enough local currency in advance to pay in cash. English is understood without any problems, so I can recommend it to Japanese people. The staff are all friendly and will definitely be the best memories.
Thank you for your kind words and detailed review of your visit with us in the Wadi Rum desert. We really appreciate that you made time to write about your experiences here. Thank you and we look forward to you visiting again in the future.
We compared many camps in the Wadi Rum Desert beforehand, but this one is really the best (which was also confirmed on the spot)! It is located at the extreme edge of the Protected Area, after which comes only the deep desert. This makes for a longer journey (on the jeep from the camp), but this is an exciting experience in itself – and definitely worth it! The silence in the camp and its surroundings is indescribable, the view from the local mountain (and also from the cabin) breathtaking and the sunset a true dream. The tent cabins are incredibly comfortable and the whole complex is very well maintained and extremely clean, especially for being in the middle of the desert. The food is rich and delicious, and there is also plenty for vegetarians and vegans. Day trips are relaxed and impressive at the same time! In the evening, a campfire creates a cosy atmosphere, under a sparkling starry sky with delicious tea and exciting stories of Salem. A visit to Neumond is particularly recommended to admire the Milky Way in its full glory. The people here are incredibly friendly! Salem is a great guy, his brothers also all nice and Frances the good soul of the camp. We constantly talk about our stay at "Real Bedouin Experience" and plan to come back to Jordan sometime (hopefully very soon!)! An unforgettable experience and highly recommended! Book with Salem – and preferably two nights directly to take the full experience with you! We have travelled a lot but have never been to such a magical place where you felt so far away from everything. (Sorry Salem & Frances for the late review! The only tip: with the day trips more information and explanations would be nice. We look forward to next time! Nina & Andi)
Thank you, Nina and Andi, for your kind words and your very comprehensive review. We're very happy that you enjoyed your visit with us so much, and we appreciate your taking the time to share with others who read your review all the details about our camp and your experience here. No one regrets an extra night in the Wadi Rum desert! We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
Excellent desert experience - a small camp so you get a very personal experience. The desert tour was customized for what we wanted to so and see. Meals were basic Bedouin style but more than plentiful and yummy. Salem Nasser and his team are so gracious and eager to please.
Thank you for your kind words and descriptive review. We appreciate you taking the time, and it's helpful to our future visitors. We hope to welcome you again some day.
This tour was a really good Bedouin experience! We met Salem at wadi rum village and started the jeep tour through the desert. We visited a lot of places and ended up at the campsite. The tent was very comfortable, very hot showers and the dinner was incredibly delicious. Salem set with us at the fire at night, with tea, watching the stars. Salem speaks English very well and is a very good host. He even helped us with the transportation to and out of wadi rum village. If you want a real Bedouin experience, I would recommend for sure!
Thank you, Maria, for your kind words and descriptive review. We're happy yo enjoyed your visit and you are welcome back any time.
