Although almost everyone in Jordan speaks fluent to proficient English, it is always a nice touch to learn a couple of words in the local language while on holiday. Impress the local Jordanians by practising the following words and expressions in Arabic before you arrive – you’ll be surprised to see how happy and honoured they’ll be to see the extra effort you’ve made to learn their language.

This lunar landscape is the UNESCO world heritage site of Wadi Rum and a visit to this spectacular wonder of nature is well worth the extra drive. Home to the Wadi Rum Bedouin, the area has been immortalized through the infamous stories of T.E Lawrence during the Arab Revolt and also boasts the second-highest peak in Jordan – Um Dami. Our Bedouin guide will take you off-road tours by 4x4 cars where you’ll be led to some of the sites of temples, and beautiful natural sites and visit (the Red Sand Dun - khazali Canyon - Lawrence House & ViewPoint - Um Fruth Rock Bridge - the Nabataean inscriptions - Seven pillars - Mushroom Rock). Bedouin food and desert tea make sure you have a cup of tea with a Bedouin and ask to be shown how to make Lafa / Arboud, their bread which you will taste during the Wadi Rum tour. Water and soft drinks are free during the trip. You will not feel how the time has gone with us and you promise that you will request to stay more.
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 as 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.
One of the most photographed places in Wadi Rum. The bridge is about 15 meters up from the desert floor. With directions and maybe some assistance from your tour guide, the steep climb is easy. Still, for people with some degree of vertigo or minor limitations, the scramble can be quite a challenge. The narrow bridge can be challenging too. But the beautiful views over the yellow mountains of Um Fruth make up for this big time. And if you decide not to climb the bridge, it is still well worth it to visit it.
