Tour Introduction

Embark on an extra-ordinary desert adventure, travelling like the ancient Bedouins used to do! This slow, but memorable mode of transport is an unforgettabe experience, as it gives you a feeling of life in the old days. You will stop at ancient inscriptions which were used as signs and route explanations to point the traveler to certain landmarks, for example or drawings of occurrences that happened during that time. We will show you an important water hole which has been used ever since to provide water for travelers, camels and other lifestock (you will also let your camel drink!) You will ride over huge sand dunes, through canyons. You will be with your camel all day, until we reach the Bedouin camp in the evening.  It is a beautiful experience, especially when riding into the sunset. Admire towing mountians, rocks, and breathtaking desert views.  

ITINERARY

After welcoming you with a cup of tea in our family house in the village, we embark on our adventure. First we stop at Lawrence Spring, where you can let your camel drink, then a big sand dune you climb up on foot and run/ jump down. Then we ride to Khazali Mountain, where we will show you ancient inscriptinos inside Khazali Canyon. Afterwards, we pass Little Rock Arch which you can scramble up. Now the camels will lead us to Lawrence House, famous from the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia. We will stop at a nice place to have lunch, then continue riding over dunes and different coloured sand, until we reach the camp. We will ride during the sinking sun, and either stop for sunset viewing in a pretty spot on the way, or you can watch it from the camp. At the camp you will enjoy Bedouin food, sit around the fire with traditional music being played for you on the oud, gaze at stars, and have a good nights rest. In the morning after buffet breakfast we go back to the village. If you want to include riding through canyons and to many more scenic places, for a deeper experience, please book the 2 day option under "Additional Services"

Reviews

Wild Wadi Rum Tours, Wadi Rum Protected Area, School Street، Wadi Rum Village, Jordan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Cro Dance

Unforgettable experience of two days in the desert, sleeping in a tent overnight. We had the honor to be taken by the father of the big family that operates the tours. From the start, we felt like part of the family, with tea, water and excellent food, despite being prepared in the desert. Visiting all the important places, hiking alone through the desert and enjoying the sunset above the overnight camp, everything was top notch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Micha Akchoti

I only have amazing things to say about Wild Wadi Rum Tours. Our stay with Salman and his brothers has been by far the highlight of our trip to Jordan. They were always kind, warm, welcoming, helpful and flexible. We had opted for the three days camel tour (for which I would recommend a very thick foam or sponge protection between your legs, cause after a full day you'll get very sore). I would recommend a longer tour as this allows you to go in lesser known parts of Wadi Rum where they'll be much less tourists (if any). The camp is basic but comfortable, you'll have everything you need, with great food. It's also populated by a nice crowd, generally bagpackers, climbers. It allows you to avoid the whole influencer type of crowd you can have in other camps. Overall I would highly recommend Wild Wadi Rum Tours if you want an experience that feels true to the desert, to the bedouin culture. You will definitely never regret it or forget it

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Toma Izabele Migdol

Undoubtedly the best Wadi Rum tours you will find - Salman and his beautiful family make you instantly feel like home and well taken care of. We went for the two day trip with camel ride and the whole day jeep tour. Local bedouin food was delicious, the camp hidden in a cosy corner of the desert had neat bathrooms and shower, and private tents and living space were traditionally decorated and spacious. The tour itself was well organised and we had plenty of time to enjoy every location in the desert. The family puts a personal touch to every part of the experience (such as sons playing traditional music after the dinner), everyone we met were extremely kind. I wholeheartedly recommend them and will definitely return again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Thomas Gordon

Salman Eid and his team did a wonderful job with our tour. We had a freak rain storm that turned into hail. They made the best of it. Tour part was really nice. Started with tea at his home, then with his cousin to see the sites, stopped for lunch at a camp site, then spent the rest of the afternoon seeing Wadi Rum. Definitely a good value and would recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By Its a TT “North Wales Dan” thing

Both myself and my son had the experience of a lifetime with wild wadi rum tours my only regret is we didn't have more time there, can't recommend them enough! We was very well looked after, great food, comfy beds, great showers especially considering we was in the desert! Salman and his family are truly amazing humble people, thank you again for a lovely stay, I will return with more time to spend for definite! P.s if you get a taxi from anywhere to wadi rum village do not let the taxi driver convince you to stay somewhere else...you will regret it, wild wadi rum tours are great hosts! thanks again Salman I will see you again !!
