If you're seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure to explore the authentic beauty of the desert, far from the typical tourist spots, this tour is tailor-made for you. Embark on a journey that will unveil breathtaking, secluded locations deep within the desert, close to the Saudi Arabian border.
It's time to break free from the usual tourist trails and delve into the true essence of our desert. Join us as we guide you to extraordinary, secluded locations in the desert near Saudi Arabia.
We will begin with a drive through the Al Kashkasheh valley, which is surrounded by mountains. At the end of the valley, we will reach a high spot with fantastic views. You will see Um Sabatah and the surrounding area where the red and white deserts meet.
We then drive past Um Mugur to reach Wadi Nuqra. After a 15-minute hike through the dunes, you will get a fantastic view of Al Qatar mountain. Afterwards, you will explore a colourful canyon for 1 hour, where it is possible to meet some nomadic Bedouin families and their camels.
After many opportunities at unique spots to take in the scenes of the desert, we will break for lunch. We will retreat from the heat to a nice shady spot where lunch will be prepared fresh and served hot. After lunch, you will rest and enjoy our traditional Bedouin tea while sharing stories of the land and people.
Once rested, we continue to Wadi Sabet, a long valley near the Saudi border. The area, a total of shrubs, blooms into a beautiful display of flowers in springtime. Nomadic Bedouins and their camels come to enjoy this place year-round. This area also offers a view of Um Ad Dami, the highest mountain in Jordan.
We drive you to Al Daghdagh’s canyon. At the canyon's end, you will easily climb to the top of the mountain, where you will have an open view of the desert.
After we drive through the red and white desert, we will show you where the Bedouins collected and saved water.
Finally, our last stop will be at Umsabbatah, where you'll witness the mesmerising sunset. After the sun sets in all its glory, we'll return to your car at the meeting point.
During the summer season, tours will start at 10:00 AM. During the winter season, tours start at 9:30 AM.
Tours will finish after the sunset (around 7-8 PM). Start and end times may vary depending on the season you choose to visit Wadi Rum.
