Itinerary
The spring is at the top of a short scramble – head for the fig tree, located just 2km (1.2 miles) south-west of the village of Rum. The spring was named in honour 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…From between [the] trees, in hidden crannies of the rock, issued strange cries; the echoes, turned into music, of the voices of the Arabs watering camels at the springs which flowed out three hundred feet above ground’’. Although the pool itself is largely unprepossessing, being a stagnant puddle, the views across the desert are truly spectacular
Among the vast expanses of rust-coloured sand in the Wadi Rum desert, the Red Sand Dune, or ‘Al Hasany’ in Arabic, is one of the most famous ones. Officially named Al Ramal it has become better known by its descriptive name. It stands out against a cliff side like it is part of the mountain. Coloured red by the presence of iron oxide, this dune is fine and soft underfoot making it perfect to walk up barefoot
Khazali Canyon in Wadi Rum is the site of petroglyphs etched into the cave walls depicting humans and antelopes dating back to the Thamudic times. This narrow canyon contains numerous Nabataean rock carvings of people and animals. Jebel Khazali, a peak situated in the center of Wadi Rum Protected Area opens up in a narrow fissure of about 100 m length. Its inner walls are covered with Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well petroglyphs depicting humans and animals. Remarkable are the soles of feet petroglyphs, which probably had religious significance. In 1932 the French epigraphist Savignac noted the engravings in the cleft and published some of them in 1934. The petroglyphs and inscriptions of Khazali Siq form an impressive collection being one of the major tourist attractions in Wadi Rum. At the end of the canyon, there are several man-made rock-cut basins for water collection
Little Rock Bridge: Easy to climb, this bridge offers great views across a broad expanse of desert. It is easily accessible and not dangerous, it is perfect for families with children and people who feel less comfortable with heights under their feet
Wild fig trees and desert bushes among huge rocks and red and yellow sand make this canyon unique. Abu Khashaba Canyon is one of the canyons that are worth to visit and you will need about an hour to walk through.
A lower rock bridge which is featured on many tours and can be easily scrambled onto. The climbing takes 5-15 minutes (depending on your experience) and the view that it offers to the surrounding area is amazing

We had an amazing 5-hour jeep tour in Wadi Rum with Mohammed, and it was truly unforgettable. Mohammed is an excellent guide — very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the desert. He made us feel welcome from the first moment and shared so many interesting stories about Wadi Rum, Bedouin life, and the history of the area. The beauty of the desert is beyond words. The landscapes, the colors, the silence, and the vast open space are absolutely breathtaking. Every stop felt like a postcard, and Mohammed knew the best spots for photos and peaceful moments. My only regret is that I didn’t spend more time in Wadi Rum. Five hours was not enough to fully enjoy this magical place. If I ever come back to Jordan, I will definitely stay longer and choose Mohammed again as my guide. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Wadi Rum — it was a highlight of our trip.
Awesome tour that I was the highlight of our trip to Jordan! This tour went to so many sites and as we neared the end, we were virtually alone at each site. The guide Mohammed had so many interesting fun facts and answers to any questions that we had about the area whether geography or history and also shared his own personal insights on things making the tour so much better. If you are considering booking a tour in Wadi Rum, this is definitely the one you should book!
This is a fantastic company for a tour in wadi rum! A local tour by the local people to understand local culture, history and religion. Mohammed was an incredible tour guide. Organised everything from where to meet him, what we'll be seeing and what time we'll be back. He took us to spots that fit our schedule. Got some great photos and all around. A very well worth the trip. Thank you Mohammed for an unforgettable experience!!
Truly unforgettable experience thats worthy every penny. Mohammed was a great host who gave us all the time we needed to see every spot. All 3 meals were delicious. Could not recommend this tour more!
A wonderful experience! We saw lots of great places and did cool activities in the desert. I was 4 months pregnant and Mohammad gave very good advice on which offer to take, he drove very carefully and took great care of us. And also the night in the tent was awesome, the tents are cozy and the dinner was really tasty fresh und authentic. Highly recommended!
An unforgettable desert adventure. This tour was truly one of the most breathtaking experiences. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcome by Mohammad, next day his brother took us around Wadi Rum, who is knowledgeable, friendly, passionate about sharing the beauty of the desert. 5 start hospitality and absolutely worth it.
We had a wonderful experience with Wadi Rum Day Tours! We did the full day tour, including a camel ride, which was packed with amazing views, walks around the cliffs and dunes, lots of tea at all the stops, and a tasty homemade lunch. Thank you!
The booking was simple quick and efficient. Mohammed gave us all the details for the pick and what we would be doing throughout the day. We also wanted to do some stargazing which he kindly arranged for us. He was informative, friendly and intelligent company. You can really feel his love for Wadi Rum. A wonderful day and a wonderful experience.
Our stay with Mohammed in his “cave under the stars” was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Mohammed welcomed us with such warmth and kindness, making us feel completely at ease. The food, served around the fire, was really really delicious and added a magical touch to the evening. Mohammed shared fascinating stories about his life as a Bedouin, giving us a unique glimpse into his culture and way of life. His genuine hospitality and friendly nature truly made the experience special. The jeep tour was breathtaking, with incredible views and more of Mohammed’s captivating stories. To top it off, he taught me how to take stunning photos of the stars with my phone—a memory I’ll cherish forever. This was a 5-star experience without hesitation. Thank you, Mohammed, for an extraordinary and enriching adventure!
We did a two-hour tour with Mohammad, which was a great way to see a few highlights of Wadi Rum without a huge time commitment. Mohammed was knowledgeable and friendly, and gave us plenty of information and time to explore. It was great to learn about the history of the area and what life is like today in Wadi Rum.
