Day Tour in Jeep Tour with Bedouin Guide

Named after the famous film shot here in the early 1960s, this natural spring has been used since Nabatean times as a stopping point on the caravan routes from Arabia to the Levant, the nearest water source beyond the Rum area being 40km away. While a pipe now carries the water down, you can still make out the winding road once used to lead livestock to drink directly from the spring.

The five-minute climb and five-second descent of these giant sand dunes is one of the definite highlights for Wadi Rum visits. In addition to the smooth red sand, the dramatic backdrop of Jebel Nasraniyah and Jebel Umm Ishrin’s sheer cliffs make it a great place for photos.

Anfeshiyeh Inscriptions : This set of Nabatean inscriptions was etched to mark routes and give signals to passing travelers. Some point out the area’s water sources while others warn of its various dangers. Others show the winners of the winter camel races that once circled this mountain.

Lawrence s house : Long before Lawrence passed through, Bedouins took shelter from wind and bandits in this old Nabatean station, set on caravan route from Hijaz to Petra and Damascus. Awesome views across the sweeping valley floor to Jebel Raqqa.

The " Mushroom stone": An oddly-shaped sandstone formation, the base of this rock has been worn away by time and the elements. Nearby, hidden in the rocks is an old nook carved hundreds of years ago by Bedouin, used to store food in the desert.

Set on the top of Jebel burdah, this stunning rock bridge is the largest in Wadi Rum. While it is visible from all across the valley below, it is a 2 1/2 hour climb to the top in order to see it up-close. Hikers call it one of the most rewarding trips in Wadi Rum.

Umm Fruth Arch :Rum’s most-visited arch, Umm Fruth is arguably its most picturesque as well, a rugged overhang of bright white rock. Visitors can battle vertigo on the climb to the top, which takes just a few minutes.

Abu khashaba canyon : A stunningly beautiful landscape, this canyon is one of our absolute favorites. Beyond the fig tree at its entrance, the hike up the canyon features scrambling along boulders, climbing sand dunes and reaching a great view at the top.

Barra Canyon : An hour walk through the stunning Barra Canyon, one of our absolute favorite spots.

To end our tour, we’ll catch the sunset in a picturesque spot and return to Wadi Rum village in the early evening.
