What to bring
What kind of things do you need to bring along for your stay in the desert? That is a good question that we receive over and over again. Wadi Rum is a desert. A place of extremes. And a place where you will be away from civilization. We take care of things like food, drinks, and the equipment needed for an overnight stay. For you, our guest(s), we made a list of recommendations for which items should also be on your packing list.
Our recommendations for your packing list
For the day
- lots of sunscreen or sunblock as nothing ruins your perfect trip like a hot sunburn
- lip balm and facial salve as the desert air, heat, and wind quickly dry out your skin
- camera or phone to capture some great shots to remember your trip
- battery pack as nothing is as annoying as an empty battery halfway your trip
- a small backpack as space in the jeep is limited
For the overnight stay
- a torch/flashlight comes in handy to find your way around the camp and 'cave' as we use as little artifical light as possible
- toiletries; the basics will do
- a towel if you want to freshen up in our camp (sorry, we have no shower in the 'cave')
- mosquito repellent (although we give them the night off every night, they sometimes still show up)
Luggage handling
In general the available space for luggage in the jeeps is limited. Therefore make sure to pack all the things you need during the tour and overnight stay in a small backpack. Additionally, baggage that you don’t need you can store in your car or our office.
We have a separate page about what to wear in the desert. So, if you are not sure what kind of clothes and shoes to bring, have a look at that page too.
