Full-Day Tour In Wadi Rum Desert
Description
Discover the Wadi Rum desert with a local guide; let him explain to you the Bedouin traditions and the environment. Be amazed by the preserved nature, its colors, its silence, its fauna and flora (desert mice, foxes, camels, birds, etc.). Discover the scenery you saw in movies filmed here (like Star Wars, Dune, Lawrence of Arabia, and The Martian). Admire the traces of ancient history (Nabateens, Early Islamic, Petroglyphs). Enjoy traditional meals while listening to the stories of Bedouin families. Discover the stars, see the Milky Way like no other place, and sleep in a traditional tent with a balcony to chill and windows to wake up with the rising sun.

Itinerary
Wadi Rum desert has several little springs in the mountains with limestone tops and granite bases which are oases of life in a further inhospitable area. You will have the chance to see Lawrence Spring with your own eyes.
The Khazali Canyon is peak situated in the center of Wadi Rum Protected Area opens up in a narrow fissure of about 100 m length. You will have the chance to walk through it and discover all the petroglyphs and inscriptions carved on the canyon.
Wadi Rum desert is dotted with towering high cliffs and stunningly shaped mountain. One of the spectacular natural phenomenon we have here is rock bridges. The Um Fruth rock bridge is one of the most photographed places in Wadi Rum. The bridge is about 15 meters up from the desert floor. The view from the top is worth it.
Lawrence’s House in Wadi Rum is called so because TE Lawrence reportedly slept here during his time in the desert. As you visit Lawrence’s House, don’t forget to turn around! The structure resides at the top of a slope. The view from this place is stunning, with interesting shapes of the mountains across the valley.
This mountain is famous for its formations and inscription. Anfashieh has numerous Thamudic and Nabataen inscriptions, next to it drawings of animals, humans, and camel caravans.
Deep canyon between dramatic mountains. Lots of sand in places. Very beautiful in early morning or late evening, when the sun turns the rock deep orange.
Take your time to enjoy the majestic desert through the dunes. If you are brave enough you can even surf.

Tawfiq is a great host and very funny. His brother Sattam was also our guide and took great care of us. Everything about the experience was professional and authentic to the Bedouin culture, and I would definitely come back to Wadi Rum and go with this camp. We went sand boarding, ate a traditional lunch and had lots of sweet Bedouin tea. The facilities were clean and the food was fresh and delicious. Overall I really enjoyed the experience !
I had a fantastic experience in Wadi Rum with Desert Bird Camp. I had chosen a Jeeptur and experienced the beautiful red desert. It was an experience I will never forget. I felt safe and entertained throughout the trip. Take me back!
I spent a whole day in the desert with Satam as a guide who took the time to explain the different stopping points. I saw other groups who didn't have an explanation so I'm very happy. The landscapes are exceptional and it is well worth spending a day there. Lunch was simple and very good, sheltered from the sun for a little rest. I was also able to try sandboarding which was pretty fun. I highly recommend this tour and Satam!
Wadi rum is an incredible place to visit! I contacted Tawfiq directly via whatsapp to book when I was given a recommendation from a previous guest staying at Desert Bird. I had to move dates and a couple of little changes around to accommodate an unexpected emergency, and it was no trouble at all for Tawfiq to help out. My husband and I had booked for a 2 night stay, but sadly he had to return back to Australia for a family emergency. I carried on and I am so glad I did! I felt very safe and comfortable travelling solo to Desert Bird. Had the best time and the camp was so chilled and hospitable. 1st day I arrived from Aqaba and went straight in and did a whole day's 4x4 tour. AMAZING!! Met some lovely people and had lunch/tea and a stunning sunset. Beds were so comfy in the tents aswell. A traditional under ground dinner was made and more chats with others guest at night time. A fire was lit and it topped the 1st day off. 2nd day, I went deep into the Desert driving and exploring with Tawfiq. Tried some fresh camel milk and had lunch with some other tourists that we stumbled across. 2nd night we even had a visitor to dinner...a hedgehog! So cute. Camp, facilities and the people are amazing. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys 👌
I loved the experience in the desert bird camp, the jeep tour was genuinely an amazing experience, you will get to see some of the highlights of wadi rum, like the canyons or highest peaks.
I did the full day Jeep tour with Desert Bird Camp and it was just perfect! They take us to the main spots in Wadi Rum Desert with the most amazing views! It was definitely the highlight of my trip. They offer a traditional bedouin lunch in a beautiful place in the desert and you can also go sandboarding in the dunes which was super fun! Our guide was super friendly and funny and answered all of our questions regarding the bedouin traditions. And to make the experience even more perfect they took us to an amazing place to see the sunset with amazing views from the desert! Totally recommend!!
fun tour in an incredible location, you can choose the length of the tour with different stages, in each stage you can decide how long to stop
I took the full day Tour of Wadi Rum with the desert bird camp. There were a lot a different sites to see, all so beautiful. Also, the hosts really listen to your needs. If you are too tired, or too hot, they will adapt the tour for you. My overall experience was exceptional. I wish i could had stayed longer. I strongly recommend the desert bird camp for your day trips!
