About this experience
Our jeep tours allow you to visit plenty of interesting sites as well as reach some of the far-away attractions of Wadi Rum. Moreover, the full-day tour will also allow you to enjoy magnificent views of the desert all throughout the day, while riding on top of a jeep (comfortable benches and sunshades installed), have lunch in the desert at a nice picturesque spot. In the evening, we either stop on the way to watch a beautiful desert sunset, or you can watch it from our Bedouin camp where you will stay for the night.
At the camp, you will see how we prepare our traditional food under the Earth, which will be part of a huge dinner buffet. Afterwards, you can relax around the fire where you can share conversations, ask us questions about our culture or the desert, and listen to Bedouin music we play for you on the oud (and maybe even dancing!). Later enjoy the silence and watch the stars.
After a delicious buffet breakfast in the morning, we will take you back to the village.
