About this experience

3-Hour Tour in Wadi Rum – Discover the Magic of the Desert at Your Favorite Time

If you're looking for a different kind of experience in Wadi Rum, our 4-hour tour is the perfect choice. A journey that takes you deep into the desert—through mountains, valleys, and soft sand dunes—away from the crowds and into the heart of nature.
Choose the time that suits you:

Morning tour: 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM – when the air is fresh, the light is soft, and the scenery is peaceful. Sunset tour: 2:30 PM until after sunset – when the colors shift and the sky turns into a natural painting.

During the trip, we visit beautiful and quiet spots, take our time to enjoy the views, stop for Bedouin tea by the fire, and capture memorable photos .

For those who want a traditional touch, you can add a 30-minute camel ride – an optional experience that gives you a unique perspective of the desert, just like the Bedouins used to see it.

A simple, relaxed trip filled with moments worth remembering
