The detailed Wadi Rum desert tour Jabal Al-Hash itinerary

Day 1 - Meeting point and start time

We will meet up at our office in Rum village for the check-in at 9.30 AM. We will have some delicious Bedouin tea and chat about our plans for the day and night. Once we finish the check-in, you will have a little bit of time for any final preparations. At 10 AM, we will set out into the stunning desert landscape for a day full of adventures.

Day 1 - In the morning

We begin our journey with a visit to Lawrence spring, a natural spring located halfway up a mountain. From this vantage point, you will be able to take in the awe-inspiring views of Wadi Rum. Next, we will venture to the nearby red dune, where you can climb to new heights and soak in even more stunning scenery. You might even feel the rush of excitement as you run down this magnificent sand formation. Our next stop is the renowned Khazali canyon, home to a unique collection of ancient inscriptions and refreshing waterholes. After a short drive, we will arrive at Little bridge, the first of three splendid rock bridges we will visit throughout the day. We will climb the bridge and marvel at the breathtaking views of the surrounding valley before continuing to our final morning destination, the legendary Lawrence House.

Day 1 - Lunchtime

We venture further into the desert until we reach a tranquil and picturesque spot where we pause for a lunch break. Your guide prepares a freshly made Bedouin lunch right before our eyes. After the meal, you can rest or stroll to explore the surroundings at your own pace.

During the winter season, our daylight hours are limited, which means we will continue our journey right after lunch. Conversely, we have a prolonged break in the summer season to avoid the scorching midday heat.

Day 1 - In the afternoon

We will begin our afternoon with a scenic drive to Mushroom rock. After a short stop, we will continue our journey through the yellow desert until we reach the Burdah rock bridge viewpoint. We will take time to appreciate the magnificent rock bridge and surrounding desert landscape there. Afterward, we will make our way to the narrow and surprisingly green Abu Khashaba canyon. You will enjoy a delightful walk through the canyon, which typically takes about 30-45 minutes. As this is a walking-only canyon, your guide will drive around the mountain and meet you on the other side of the canyon. We will then make our way to the Um Fruth rock bridge, where you can challenge yourself with a short and exhilarating scramble to the top. As the sun begins to set, we will make our way to Um Sabbath to witness the breathtaking sunset.

Day 1 - The overnight stay

We offer three choices for your first overnight accommodation: a tent at our camp, outdoor sleeping near our camp, or outdoor sleeping at our ‘cave’. 

After the sun sets, we will take you to our camp or ‘cave’. At the campsite, you will get a brief introduction to the camp’s layout and operations, and we will show you to your tent or the outdoor sleeping area near the camp. At the ‘cave’, everything is clear and easy to understand. 

At both the camp and ‘cave’, we serve a traditional Bedouin dinner. After dinner, you are free to do what you please. Usually, our guests and guides sit together, and you can learn about Bedouin life, chat with others, or just marvel at the billions of stars and enjoy the peaceful desert silence.

Day 2 - In the morning

Whether you are staying at our campsite or at our ‘cave’, witnessing the sunrise is truly a remarkable experience. Feel free to inquire about places to view the sunrise and its timings. We are always happy to assist you. At 7 AM, breakfast will be served, and you will have time to prepare for your second day.  

In the morning, we will take a delightful scenic drive through the desert to reach Jabal Al-Hash, a mountain located near the Saudi Arabia border. Our main activity for the morning is hiking and scrambling on Jabal Al-Hash. The Bedouin trail will lead us to a ridge, and along the way, we take part in a fossil hunt, and your guide can share some information about medicinal plants. Once we reach the ridge, the breathtaking views of the south of Wadi Rum will be our reward. We will head back to the jeep before the morning ends.

Day 2 - Lunchtime

We venture until we reach another tranquil and picturesque spot, where we pause for a lunch break. Your guide prepares a freshly made Bedouin lunch. After the meal, you can rest or stroll to explore the surroundings at your own pace.

During the winter season, our daylight hours are limited, which means we will continue our journey right after lunch. Conversely, we have a prolonged break in the summer season to avoid the scorching midday heat.

Day 2 - In the afternoon

In the afternoon, we will set out on another picturesque drive through the south of Wadi Rum. Our first destination is a Bedouin dam where your guide will show you how we construct dams to collect and preserve water for the dry season. We then proceeded to Um Ashaman to marvel at the beauty of ‘the eye’, an extraordinary rock bridge. If you feel up to it, you can climb the bridge and further up the mountain for awe-inspiring desert views. Then we head to another beautifully shaped rock, Cow rock. Some call this rock Chicken rock. We wonder which name resonates with you more. As the sun begins to set, we will make our way to Um Sabatah to witness another incredible sunset.

Day 2 - The overnight stay

We offer two choices for your second overnight accommodation: a tent at our camp or outdoor sleeping near our camp.

After the sun sets, we will take you to our camp. If this is your first night at our camp, you will get a brief introduction to the camp’s layout and operations, and we will show you to your tent or the outdoor sleeping area near the camp.

We serve a traditional Bedouin dinner. And after dinner, you are free to do what you please.

Day 3 - In the morning

Make sure not to miss the final chance to witness the magnificent sunrise today, especially if you could not catch it earlier. Breakfast is served at 7 AM, after which we pack up and head back to Rum village. You will arrive at our office between 8 and 8.30 AM for check-out. We bid you farewell and wish you a safe journey ahead.

What our guests say about the Wadi Rum desert tour Jabal Al-Hash

We spent two days and two nights as a family with the Wadi Rum Nomads team. This stay will remain unforgettable! We were very well received. The guides took us through the desert to beautiful places, almost to the Saudi border. There were some fabulous moments of exchange. Our guides were very attentive to us. The food was excellent, and we had as many bottles of water available as we wanted. The camp is in a very beautiful place, in the middle of the desert. The tents are very clean and comfortable, and the sanitary facilities are also very clean. We really enjoyed the meals under the large and pretty Bedouin tent and the evenings around the fire. The team has some nice unexpected surprises in store for us. We highly recommend Wadi Rum Nomads to anyone who wants to explore the beautiful desert of Wadi Rum. Thanks again to the whole team!

The experience in the desert with the Wadi Rum Nomads team is an out-of-the-ordinary experience, out of time and out of the beaten tourist track. Everything is done to make sure that the stay is the best possible. The team is very attentive. And our guide, Nawaf made us feel at ease so that we feel part of the Wadi Rum Nomads family and not just like a simple tourists.Nawaf was able to propose us multiple activities and excursions according to our desires and tastes. He is a great person who knows very well how to tell you his history, life, and culture. Special mention for the night in the cave, magical moments of exchange and sharing, and guaranteed disconnection! Thanks to the Wadi Rum Nomads team and Nawaf for his good mood and jokes.
