Wadi Rum desert tour Wadi Sabet - 2 days and 2 nights

2 days and 2 nights Wadi Rum desert tour Wadi Sabet characteristics

Short description​

Join us on a beautiful adventure with our 2D2N desert tour Wadi Sabet. On the first day, we cover ten popular sites within the protected area. You will have plenty of time to explore, hike, climb, scramble, and marvel at the breathtaking surroundings. On the second day, we go off the beaten track to discover the lesser-known and more pristine southern part of Wadi Rum. You will hike in canyons and wadis, watch over the vast Wadi Sabet, and discover other fascinating sites. On both days, we have traditional Bedouin lunches. And we will catch the sunset in Um Sabatah before retiring for the night at our camp or ‘cave’. You will relish customary Bedouin dinners and have the chance to stargaze before calling it a night. The final morning, after breakfast, we will return to our office in Rum village.

The detailed Wadi Rum desert tour Wadi Sabet 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 scenic jeep ride from our office to Um Mugur, passing through the beautiful red desert. Keep your camera ready to capture the stunning views. In the Um Mugur area, you will enjoy a delightful walk and scramble through a yellow sand canyon, which typically takes about 30-45 minutes. This canyon offers the opportunity to see various types of desert vegetation. As this is a walking-only canyon, your guide will drive around the mountain and meet you on the other side of the canyon. Afterward, we will continue our journey to Wadi Nuqra, where you can enjoy another hike. Your guide will drive to the end of the wadi and wait for you there. Enjoy climbing the dune, discovering the beauty of this part of our stunning desert, and marveling at the breathtaking scenery before we head toward Wadi Sabet.

Day 2 - Lunchtime

We venture further 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 a scenic drive to one of the most stunning viewpoints in Wadi Sabet. As we walk to a ridge, we discover old Bedouin storage places and take in the exquisite views over the wadi. Then we will head to Um Ghdah, where you can stretch your legs and embark on a hike through the canyon. While you traverse the canyon, your guide will drive to the end to wait for you there. Next, we will continue to Double bridge and marvel at its beauty. 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 Wadi Sabet

When visiting Wadi Rum, go with Wadi Rum Nomads! Visiting this beautiful part of Jordan has been one of our best travel adventures ever. During our tour we were guided by the most amazing tour guide Nawaf and the rest of the crew. The vintage Landcruiser really added so much to the desert adventure and sleeping under the stars was simply a one-of-a-kind experience. The company was so helpful in arranging the trip, and they are so knowledgeable about the nature around them. They taught us a lot. To some, the luxurious camps with private hot tubs may be appealing, but if you are looking for a true and authentic feel you have to stay at the basecamp of Wadi Rum Nomads. The tents are great with very warm blankets, all facilities are impeccably clean and well taken care of. The food throughout the day was so fresh and prepared with so much attention on a small open fire and at the camp, it was just as delicious with a variety of flavors and local ingrediënts. There was music around the fire and great conversations with the guides who were so nice to get along with and happy to share the beautiful wisdom and tales of their lives in this remote part of the planet. Thank you so much for these days. Forever in our hearts

We had a fantastic three nights stay with Wadi Nomads -- five stars all around! Excellent communication (before and during our stay), beautiful and clean premises, local knowledge and insights, and delicious food! Our tour guide gave interesting history and details about different sites. As a bonus, he had a great sense of humor and creative photography suggestions. We appreciated all the thoughtful, deliberate ways in which Nomads works towards sustainable tourism for their business and the area. It was a memorable stay in the Wadi Rum desert. Highly recommend and planning ourselves for a trip back!
