About this activity

Our jeep tours allow you to visit the most sites in the least amount of time as well as reach some of the far-away attractions inside Wadi Rum Protected Area. Even on our short tours, you get a good taste of our magnificent desert with its rocks, dunes, canyons, and big mountains. If you want to see the sunset, we can start the tour in the afternoon. You will be told historic meanings at some of the sites, and are highly welcome to ask questions about Bedouin life and culture. All short tours include stops at Lawrence's house, the big red sand dune, Khazali Canyon and Little Rock Arch. Depending on the option you choose, further activities like sandboarding, hikes, or camel rides might be included. Light lunch can be added after arrival for 5JD per person, and cooked lunch of chicken and rice for 10JD per person.
