Full Day Jeep Tour and Overnight in Wadi Rum
Your tour with us is a full day jeep tour and overnight stay. On the jeep tour you will see towering mountains, unique rock formations, rock bridges, petroglyphs, and sand dunes. There's a short hike through a shaded canyon. Your tour guides love their desert, and want to share their knowledge with you. They are relaxed and flexible, moving at the pace you want. At each site you will have time to explore and take photos. Lunch is cooked over a fire by your your guide. You will arrive at our camp just before sunset. Our camp is located 11 kms south of Wadi Rum village, and has spectacular sunset views. It's also a great location for star gazing, and counting the shooting stars. Our visitors remark on the total silence they experience at our camp location. It is relatively small, accommodating up to 22 guests, so it's ideal for families and groups who want a private setting. Our aim is to provide great hospitality and memories to last a lifetime.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Lawrence's Spring
Lawrence Spring - After meeting you in Wadi Rum village, we set off on our jeep tour, and our first stop is Lawrence Spring. Known by locals as Ain Abu Aineh, Lawrence Spring is located a short walk up the mountain (Jebel Rum) from where we stop, and you are welcome to follow the pipeline and hike up to the spring. There are spectacular views from there. The pipeline brings water down to a long water trough where camels come to drink. Nearby is a large rock with ancient hieroglyphs written by the Nabateans who lived in the area about 300 B.C.
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Red Sand Dunes - We next drive to the Red Sand Dunes. It is a high dune of beautiful soft red sand. You can climb to the top of the dune where there is a rocky plateau with panoramic 360 degree views of a large open area of desert, surrounded by three mountains - Jebel Rum, Um Ishrin, and Jebel Khazali.
Jebel Khazali
Khazali Canyon - We stop near Khazali Canyon, and take a few minutes walk to a small split in the mountain of Khazali, which opens to a high-walled canyon. Sunlight filters down between the canyon walls, showing all the shades of pink and brown and grey on the rock walls. There are three rocks pools about 20 metres into the canyon, dry in summer, and full of water after the occasional rain in the winter months. Khazali Canyon is famous for the variety of rock art and inscriptions found there - carved by the peoples who have lived in the area over the centuries - Thamudic, Arab, and Nabatean. There are petroglyths of humans, animals, and footprints. Also Kufic writing, an early Arabic script, is inscribed on the walls.
