Travelers

The sun carves the desert into gold and shadow as your jeep eases out of the Rum Village car park and onto red sand that seems to have a life of its own. Wind-polished towers rise like folded pages of a giant atlas; the driver lifts a hand toward a narrow slit in the cliffs and the vehicle threads through—today the desert decides the pace.

Adventure Tips

Hydrate early and often

Bring at least 2 liters of water per person for the day; the camp supplies bottles but you’ll want extra during hikes and sandboarding.

Wear grippy footwear

Sturdy hiking shoes with good tread help on rocky scrambles like Burdah Canyon and Um Fruth Bridge.

Protect from the sun

Wide-brim hat, high-SPF sunscreen and sunglasses are non-negotiable—shade is rare between stops.

Respect Bedouin customs

Ask before photographing people or private camp areas and accept invitations to sit—small gestures go a long way.

History

Wadi Rum bears Nabatean inscriptions and later drew figures like T.E. Lawrence; caravan routes and Bedouin culture shaped these valleys for millennia.

Conservation

Operators work with local communities to limit impact—stick to trails, avoid touching petroglyphs, and pack out non-biodegradable waste to protect fragile desert soils.
