Itinerary
On a small hill in Rum village, are the limited ruins of a 2000-year-old temple, dedicated to the deity Lat. The ruins are important because they are evidence of a permanent Nabataean settlement, built on the earlier foundations of a temple built by the Arab tribe of Ad.
The spring 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…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 there flowed out three hundred feet above ground'.
An easy siq to explore is the narrow fissure that cuts into Jebel Khazali. You can explore on foot for about 150m, far enough to appreciate the cool shade and to see inscriptions made by the ancients who used the siq for the same purpose. Look out for drawings of ostriches, pairs of feet and a woman giving birth.
A beautiful natural rock bridge in the middle of this Mars-like desert, take your time to climb it and take unforgettable photos.
The second biggest rock bridge in Wadi Rum desert and the easiest to climb. It's one of the most popular attractions in the area.
(Lawrence House): A building ruins which historians believe it been built and used by Lawrence of Arabia during his short stay in Wadi Rum desert.
(Anfeshyah Inscriptions): Thamudic, and Nabatean inscriptions carved by caravans and travelers, also you can see animals and humans ancient drawings that illustrate what type of activities people at that time do.
Enjoy your desert experience by walking up this soft silk dune and enjoying the magnificent endless mountain desert view.

We spent a wonderful four hours in the desert of Wadi Rum with our guide Hamdan. He was extremely communicative, knowledgeable, and shared a wealth of information about every location where we stopped. He also taught us a lot about Jordanian culture and the local way of life, which made the experience even more meaningful. It was truly a unique and unforgettable experience — we highly recommend it!
I have the best experience ever. همدان was the best person ever I see. He is very nice person and friendly.
Eid and his brother Hamdan are the best choice when you want to go for a day trip of Wadi Rum! It was a wonderful experience, not only for the desert itself, but starting from initial communication and organization, which you will easily do with Eid, all the way to the ride and sightseeing of the desert, with guidance from Hamdan. Hamdan is just a wonderful guy and guide, easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Just bring with you some openness and nice feelings and you are good to go! 🙂
Amazing experience and a very good guide. The guide tell us a lot of curiosity and explain them with an eccellent english
We book a 4 hour tour by jeep in the Wadi Rum desert. There were only pros during our tour. 1. Price - it was the cheapest one we could find. We were 3 people and we paid each 25 JD. 2. The guide - Eid is an amazing well spoken, versed and funny guy. Even though we booked the tour only for 4 hours he stayed 5 and a half hours. We watched the sunset by a fire and tea he made. It was a really nice experience. 10/10. Recommend. Would go again.
Top 4 hours tour, great guide. It was a great experience and very informative. Eid has led us to very beautiful places
I did the five hour full day tour. My experience was beyond amazing. The guide was knowledgeable and so caring. He took me on an extra hike becuase he knew I would enjoy it. He was happy to take pictures all day. Would definitely recommend this tour group for your stay in Wadi Rum.
Muhammad took us from our camp in time. It was a pleasant tour, we did not have any problems. The employees of the tour company were very respectful and polite. They left us back to our car. I recommend this company.
We were a little short on time and arrived a little late so they were very kind to customize the tour for us and make an expedited tool to cover things in three hours. I had booked directly and not through any other intermediary. They also went out of the way to explore some large red dunes in the desert, which are not part of the tour, in spite of being short on time . Very responsive, accommodating, and value for money
The Jeep you is highly overpriced and they covered only 5 places in 5 hours. We were expecting to see the sunset for long however we had to Leave early because of cutoff time being 6:30 PM
