- You'll need to purchase a protected area entry ticket (included in most tour packages)

- Your guide will meet you at a designated meeting point

## Village Facilities

Before heading into the desert, you can take advantage of:

- Restrooms at the Visitor Center (last proper facilities)

- Small shops for last-minute supplies

- Simple restaurants and coffee shops

## Departure Process

## The Journey Begins

As you leave the village, the landscape quickly transforms into open desert. Within 10-15 minutes, you'll be surrounded by Wadi Rum's iconic scenery, with the village and modern life disappearing behind you.

Most tours make their first stop within 20-30 minutes of leaving the village, often at Lawrence's Spring or the red sand dunes.
