Itinerary and highlights

Embark on a comprehensive day trip to Wadi Rum, commencing from Amman. Your designated driver will collect you from your accommodation in Amman and initiate the journey toward the destination. Our English-speaking chauffeur will guide you along the Desert Highway to Wadi Rum. Depending on road conditions, the travel duration will be no less than three hours, which includes a brief stop en route.

This unique tour leaves early in the morning from Amman via the desert highway. Here, we board our 4X4 safari, driven by a professional Bedouin driver ( Optional ), and ride to the visitor center in Wadi Rum. From here, it's onto Jordan's legendary sandstone area of Wadi Rum. The enchanting Wadi Rum is almost surreal in its distinctive beauty.

Cross red sand dunes and explore the beautifully eroded pillars of sandstone rock. Among the natural attractions are what have become known as ‘The Seven Pillars'.

It was this area of Wadi Rum that so inspired T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). Wadi Rum's beauty remains intact, and its breathtaking scenery is still an inspiration for those who travel there. Visit the famous spring at ‘Khaza'ali' and the Hanging Arch.

We also navigate along the infrequently traversed yet equally breathtaking trails adjacent to the Saudi Arabian border.
