What to Wear on a Wadi Rum Jeep Tour

# What to Wear on a Wadi Rum Jeep Tour

Proper clothing for your Wadi Rum Jeep tour ensures comfort and protection in the desert environment. Here's a seasonal guide to what to wear:

## Year-Round Essentials

- Sun hat: Wide-brimmed for maximum face and neck protection

- Sunglasses: Polarized to reduce glare from sand

- Scarf or buff: Multi-purpose for sun protection, dust, or warmth

- Closed shoes: Comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots

- Day pack: Small backpack for personal items

## Summer (May-September)

- Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing: Natural fabrics like cotton or linen

- Long sleeves and pants: Despite the heat, covering up protects from sun

- Light colors: Reflect rather than absorb heat

- Moisture-wicking underlayers: If you tend to perspire

- Swimwear: Some tours include stops at water sources

## Winter (December-February)

- Layers: Temperature varies widely between day and night

- Warm jacket: Desert evenings can drop below 5°C (41°F)

- Gloves and beanie: For early morning or evening tours

- Thermal underlayers: For overnight tours

- Waterproof outer layer: Rare rain can occur in winter

## Spring/Fall (March-April, October-November)

- Convertible clothing: Zip-off pants, roll-up sleeves

- Medium-weight layers: For temperature changes

- Light jacket or fleece: For morning and evening

## Additional Items

- Lip balm and moisturizer: The desert air is very dry

- Sunscreen: Minimum SPF 30, reapply frequently

- Bandana: To cover nose and mouth during dusty conditions

- Camera protection: Dust-proof bag or cover

Remember that Jeeps are open-backed, so wind protection is important year-round, and secure any items that might blow away.
