Tour Itinerary

Itineraries are customisable as per your request

The schedule below is a suggested plan and can be adjusted to suit your preferences.

Pickup & Drive to the Deep South

You are met at the Wadi Rum Rest House by your Bedouin guide and set off straight for the remote deep south, where few travelers go. Enjoy the drive through red sand valleys and towering sandstone mountains.

Noghra Canyon & Saudi Arabia View

Your first stop is Noghra Canyon, where the desert opens up to a sweeping view across the border into Saudi Arabia, a horizon most travelers never get to see.

Hidden Canyon Walk & Lunch

Set off on foot into a hidden canyon, walking between towering sandstone walls in complete silence, then stop for a relaxed traditional lunch prepared in the shade.

Northern Viewpoint

Climb to a high desert viewpoint looking north across the whole of Wadi Rum, with the mountains and valleys spread out beneath you in shades of red and gold.

One Hour Camel Ride

Enjoy a full hour on camelback, swaying slowly across the open sand the way the Bedouin have travelled for centuries.

Desert Camp & Night Under the Stars

As the sun sets, you arrive at your desert camp for dinner around the fire. Sleep in a real bed under a sky so clear the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye, one of the best night skies on Earth.

Breakfast & Umm Hrine Canyon Walk

After breakfast at camp, set out on foot through the beautiful Umm Hrine Canyon, one of the desert's most striking walks, winding between high sandstone walls in the quiet of the morning.

Lunch in the Desert

After a morning of exploring, stop for a relaxed traditional Bedouin lunch, freshly prepared in a quiet, scenic spot with time to rest.

Khazali Canyon & Ancient Carvings

Continue to Khazali Canyon, home to ancient rock carvings and inscriptions left by the people who crossed this desert long ago.

Red Sand Dunes

Stop at the great red sand dunes, perfect for climbing up and running back down, with sweeping views over the desert.

Lawrence's Spring & Return

Visit Lawrence's Spring, hidden among the rocks and made famous by T.E. Lawrence, before returning to the Wadi Rum Rest House in the afternoon, full of memories.
