Experience the best of Jordan with our unique Wadi Rum desert tours

Wadi Rum is also known as the valley of the moon, and certainly lives up to this name. At times the moon shines so brightly that you don’t even need a flashlight at night.

When you don’t only want a typical tour in the desert and would much rather experience what it feels like to live in the desert, Wadi Rum Eco Tours has many great options to suit you.

Wadi Rum desert tours for short stays

If you’re limited to the time you spend on one of our tours you can choose to experience the beautiful Wadi Rum desert mountains, springs, caves, crevasses, rocky canyons and dunes on one of our half-day or full-day Jeep tours.

You'll be going on trails that offer viewings of many historically rich sites along the way. You’ll be going on a tour with one of our experienced Bedouin guides that will take you to the best sites and ensure you have a fantastic tour. 

Spend a night or two in the desert

If you’re looking at experiencing the night in the desert, you can do so on one of our overnight tours. Depending on how adventurous you are and whether you’re into hiking, expeditions, climbing mountains or riding camels,  Wadi Rum Desert Tours has the perfect tour for you.

We offer you half-day and full-day tours. One-day and one-night tours. Two-day and two-night tours as well as our three-day and three-night tours. 

All of our tours are eco-friendly and within the Wadi Rum protected area which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We do everything possible to ensure that we and our guests are not harmful to our environment and take action to clean up the desert.

All our tours include a dedicated Bedouin guide to ensure your tour is as pleasant as possible. Depending on the tour you choose you’ll experience our traditional Bedouin meals of bread, chicken, vegetables and more.

Whilst on one of our Wadi Rum desert tours you’ll enjoy spectacular views, see historic sites, come face-to-face with ancient Petroglyphs which are rock carvings and take stunning photos on the various rock bridges and so much more.

Hiking and climbing adventure

You’ll have the opportunity to go rock climbing and enjoy a hike. Explore and climb Um Adaami, the highest mountain in Jordan, which is 1856m high.

Experience the Wadi Nuqra Valley which has many folklore stories behind its name. View the Lawrence Spring Canyon and the Khazali Canyon with its petroglyphs, Nabatean, Islamic and Thamudic inscriptions.

Little Bridge is also one of the places you will visit, it's unique as it's one of three of the most popular rock bridges which are named according to their sizes.

Indulge in the sight of the Al Hash mountain which is said to be the most beautiful mountain in the Wadi Rum. You will get to hike to Jebel Hash and view the spectacular views from there. 

The Saudi Sabet Valley 

Experience the beauty of the Saudi Sabet valley which is close to the Saudi border. It has beautiful valleys filled with shrubs that, according to the season, turn into a spectacular landscape littered with the most beautiful flowers.

Our 4 x 4 Wild Desert Tours 

On our wild desert tour you can expect to take a drive far away from the tourist attractions and go to isolated places close to Saudi Arabia. See Um Sabath a unique coloured mountain in Wadi Rum that’s mostly red with contrasting white sandstone peaks. 

It's used by the Bedouin people to navigate their way through the desert. Here the two deserts meet make for a spectacular sight since the white and red desert sands are very distinct.

The Al Qatar mountain which is named after the village it belongs to is another favorite. Standing out amongst palm trees and rivers this mountain has high caves to explore which once inside, will allow you to feel the coolness in the heat of the summer.

The Kashkasheh valley which is surrounded by mountains Um Sabath where the two deserts meet.

What it’s like to ride a camel in Wadi Rum 

If you take one of our camel tours you will experience exactly what life was like for the Bedouin people for many hundreds of years. A camel is the best animal to ride in the desert amongst the sand dunes and rocky terrain. 

You will soon learn that riding a camel is somewhat of a thing to master. Your first mission will be to actually get onto the hump.

You'll have to approach the camel whilst it's lying down, you must approach slowly and confidently.  The next step for you will be to actually mount yourself onto the camel. This is the hardest part of actually riding a camel, you have to get onto it and do so quickly! 

Great now that you are on the camel, it is going to stand up. For you not to be falling off you should lean back as the camel uses its back legs first when standing up. Once the back legs are up the camel will use its front legs, hence you should lean forward. 

There are two ways you can actually ride the camel, you can sit crossed legs, which people say is much more comfortable or you can clamp your legs to the side and sway with the camel's natural gait. 

Now that you’re on the camel, it’s time to relax. You won't just fall off and will get used to the camel’s gait and enjoy the amazing experience that you’re having on your Wadi Rum desert tour!
