Aqaba – Wadi Rum

After a hot day walking the deserts of Southern Jordan, a visit to Aqaba, Jordan’s only coastal city alongside the Red Sea is needed. Famous for stunning underwater life, year-round warm weather, and water sports, Aqaba sets itself apart by offering visitors a unique local experience like no other.

Wadi Rum is one of the world’s most beautiful deserts located near the southern border of Jordan, Wadi Rum is an experience unlike no other offering a variety of camping and activity options. Whether you want to participate in adventure sports, rock climbing, or simply relax under the star filled skies while sipping some traditional Bedouin tea, Wadi Rum is the place for you.

The Aqaba – Wadi Rum route runs daily.

Included/Excluded

Between Petra and Aqaba, a haunting, silent landscape of ancient riverbeds and pastel stretches of barren desert, is beautifully shattered by towering sandstone mountains and dramatic cliffs. Wadi Rum, a vast expanse of spectacular desert scenery, is--along with Petra--one of Jordan's most visited attractions. Here, semi-nomadic Bedouins living in goat's hair tents tend their herds of sheep much like their ancestors did thousands of years ago. Throughout Wadi Rum, a rich legacy of rock art depicting hunting scenes and cultic symbols provides a vivid testament to the Thamudic, Safaitic, Nabataean, Greek, and Arabic peoples who passed through or settled in the area. Wadi Rum is also the now mythical place where Lawrence of Arabia carried out his valiant exploits during World War I. Since there are no accommodations in Wadi Rum, the place is usually visited from Petra or Aqaba. This vast desert is a favorite with hiking and mountain-climbing fans.
