Itinerary
Once you arrive there you can see a natural spring which is used by both the animals and Bedouins as a source of fresh water. This is a popular spot for camels to go to. Here, you can follow the pipe up the mountain to climb up to a few fig trees for a great view over the spring and the surrounding desert. Please note this is not an easy climb. Even though it seems easier going up, going down is much more difficult. Be aware you will be needing your hands and feet to hike and climb up the rocks. You can ask your guide for the best way up and down.
Drive through where "Lawrence of Arabia" was filmed on our way to the Sand Dune with 360 view. You can hike up this sand dune to the rocky outcrop. Then it's a short easy climb to get to the top. From there you get a 360 degree view of that part of the red desert. If you like, you can bring a board and slide down the sand dune or rent one from the tent nearby for 5JOD. Opposite the sand dune is the place where they filmed “The Martian”.
Short couple of minutes hike inside the canyon with old inscriptions on both sides. You can continue inside a little further, but it gets quite narrow and more difficult to hike and climb at places.
Naturally formed rock bridge you can climb onto. It's a short climb, but will require hands and feet.
See the house where Lawrence of Arabia lived. You can also hike and climb up for a view here. It's relatively short with a moderate climb near the top.
Go to a cave or cooler spot in the shade for a Bedouin-style lunch prepared by the guide. We will stay here to eat, drink and relax until 4pm so we bypass the hottest time of day.
Drive through where “Star Wars IX – The rise of Skywalker” was filmed on your way to Mushroom Rock. See the geographical wonder that is the mushroom rock. If you want, you can listen to traditional Bedouin music while drinking tea next to the rock. (When available.)
From the entrance to Burdah Canyon, you'll have a view of the Burdah Rock Bridge, which is the largest natural bridge in Wadi Rum. If there's enough time, you can hike through the canyon and back. (Easy hike)
About 30-minute hike, with a short moderate climb in the middle, through the canyon. One of the most stunning places in the desert. You will be dropped off at the beginning of the canyon and the jeep will wait for you at the end.
Drive through where “Aladdin” was filmed on your way to Um Frouth Bridge. Middle-sized natural bridge which you can climb onto. It's a moderate climb and descent. Then finally continue onwards to a prime location for a sunset view over the White Desert. Best view is a moderate climb up. However, from the smaller rocks the view is also amazing.
Note: After you arrive in Wadi Rum's Visitor Center, pay the 5JD entrance fee (you don't have to pay if you have a Jordan Pass) and inform the desk you have already booked with a Bedouin Guide - Raad Zalabia or Riad Zalabia. Do not trust any people who are not able to present you with their ID. If we may be so bold to add: This tour will show you the best places Wadi Rum has to offer. However, an overnight stay added to this will give you the Full Bedouin experience! Stay the night in our Bedouin style tent and enjoy a Bedouin dinner (mashawi dish, salad, Jordanian bread, tea) while traditional Jordanian live music is performed (when available). Your Bedouin guide will be happy to tell you stories about Wadi Rum desert and Bedouin culture when asked. If you want, you can go for a night-time walk in the desert with your Bedouin guide. The next day, you can wake up early to catch the sunrise and we will bring you back to the Rest House in Wadi Rum village after breakfast. One night stay with breakfast and dinner included is only 20JOD per person. If required, we can assist you in finding transport to leave Wadi Rum (payment for taxi, bus, car rental etc. is not included).

I enjoyed the tour very much! We visited many beautiful places and drank a lot of delicious beduin tea. The tour ended in the spot where we could admire the sun set from the high rock, drinking tea and watching the beautiful view of the desert!
Everything was great except for a few minor disconnects on the meeting point and full explanation of each attraction from the driver. I think he was more a driver than a Bedouin tour guide was I wanted.
Absolutely recommended! One tip: go for the full day tour and sleep in the camp! Wadi Rum is just too beautiful to admire in a hurry. The full day tour with Raad was really fantastic! The desert is bizarrely beautiful and you will be taken to the best places with his 4x4, with stops in between where you can explore part of the desert independently (so put on your walking boots). He is a very good and pleasant guide, not at all intrusive, very respectful, nice and full of humor, tells you everything you want to know in good English and teaches you another word of Arabic if you want. In March the desert was beautiful, with small flowers everywhere, but cold. Council made sure we got enough tea, made a warm fire and besides that (unlike many other 4x4s we saw) we could sit in the car itself, and not constantly just in the trunk. In the camp everything was good for each other, we ended up staying 4 nights and love to come back!
Thank you, dear, for taking the time to write about your experience with us, and it is important for us that you enjoy it. We look forward to seeing you in the coming days.

Amazing experience! A trip that everyone should do. The desert is beautiful and Raad is a great guide. The places he showed us were great. It’s a must thing to do in a life time. Cannot wait to come back again! Thanks Raad for the experience :)
A fantastic overall experience of Wadi Rum with a knowledgeable guide showing us the best spots in the area! Raad was on time, prompt, hospitable, interesting, patient and took us to numerous spots including Jebel khazali and Lawrence springs to name a few. His cooking skills were also fantastic, we ate well for lunch and drank numerous cups of tea throughout the day! Highly recommend this or any tour from this company!
We had an unique and wonderful experience during in Wadi Rum Dessert - the Jeep Tour with Raad was much fun. He is a super nice guy who makes you feel like home, shows you stunning places and creates delicous meals! The camp ist a lovely place where you can enjoy peace and silence under the stars till hiking a few meters to watch the sun coming up over the mountains. Take the chance to experience this by yourself :) We would love to come back! Thank you Raad :)
Undoubably the best part of my experience was sunset in the white desert, Our guide Raad found the perfect spot made us a little fire and we sat on Persian carpet and watch the sun disappear. One of those perfect travel moments. Extremely happy with our guide because your guide does make a difference in the desert. He English was perfect he was funny and made a trip very enjoyable. He had a loads of knowledge about the desert, he grew up in . Large delicious dinner super clean campsite , nestled in the side of the mountain which was perfect! Great experience definitely recommend this tour !a
We took part in a full day Jeep tour and I can say without exaggeration that it was one of my best days in my life. With Raad we had the chance to explore the desert on it's whole and experience the Bedouin lifestyle from a local. I can just recommend to join a tour with this group, you won't regret it for sure!
