Your half-day adventure begins at our meeting point in Wadi Rum Village, where you'll meet your Bedouin guide and board your 4x4 jeep. After a brief introduction and safety information, you'll set off into the desert to explore its wonders.
Lawrence Spring:
Named after T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), this natural spring nestled in the mountainside offers panoramic views of the desert. Your guide will explain the historical significance of this site and its connection to Lawrence's adventures in the region.
Khazali Canyon:
Explore this narrow fissure in the mountain, famous for its ancient Thamudic and Nabataean inscriptions. These petroglyphs, dating back thousands of years, depict hunting scenes, animals, and humans, offering a glimpse into the area's rich history.
Red Sand Dunes:
Experience the soft, red sand dunes that Wadi Rum is famous for. You'll have time to climb the dunes, take photos, and enjoy the panoramic views from the top. The contrast between the red sand and the blue sky creates a stunning visual experience.
