Trip Outline
Day 1
The tour will start from Wadi Rum Village and the first stop will be at the Nabataean temple just outside the village. This will take about 15 min.
From here we continue to Lawrence’s spring, which is about 30 minutes.
This is where the camels usually hydrate and there are also some Talmudic inscriptions. We dismount the camels and have the option to either relax under Wadi Rums biggest acacia tree, or to take a small hike.
The next stop will be the sand dune. This will take around an hour to reach on camelback. Here we hike to the top of the dune and enjoy the amazing view of some of Wadi Rums most beautiful mountains.
After the sand dune we continue to the Khazali Canyon. This will take around 20 minutes to reach. This is one of the most packed places with petroglyphs and is also a very beautiful mountain.
After the canyon, your guide will choose a nice spot for you to enjoy lunch in the shade and relax for a bit. The lunch will be prepared by the guide.
After resting you will be going to Qattar Spring and the trip will be around one hour long. The Qattar Spring is located a 10 min hike up in the mountains. Through a little crack in the rock, it is possible to enter inside the mountain. The spring is visible here and the view is phenomenal. This spot is not very crowded and has cute little palm and fig trees growing.
From Qattar Spring we will ride the camels toward the cave for around 1 hour which is where you will enjoy the sunset, eat traditional bedouin cuisine and sleep under the stars.
Day 2
You will start the day waking up to an excellent view over the desert.
We will prepare a bedouin breakfast for you including traditional bread baked in the bonfire, called ‘harbut’.
The first stop is the Chicken Rock which is on the way to the White desert.
Here you will dismount the camel and maybe take some pictures. We continue onwards to the White Desert watching the sand change color gradually.
The guide will teach you how to ride the camel by yourself and you will all ride together.
The next stop in the White Desert is the stone arch Um Alsamin. You can climb the arch and take pictures here.
Then we will continue through the canyons of Um Radar and enjoy the beautiful mountainside. Around here your guide will choose a fitting spot for lunch and prepare a cooked meal for you. You will relax in the shade and enjoy the views.
After lunch you will continue and pass by Harab Antar and go through the Swebet Valley until you arrive at The Daghdagh Viewpoint. This point provides incredible views over the vast valleys of the Wadi Sapet, and distant mountainous regions with Saudi Arabia visible in the distance. As another wonderful picture opportunity, the view here really doesn’t get much better.
After this you will go to where you shall sleep. This will be in the same area as you shall be sleeping deep in the desert. By morning you will eat traditional Bedouin breakfast and head back to the Wadi Rum Village by jeep.
