Wadi Rum Full-Day Jeep Tour with Sunset and Bedouin Camp Overnight
Adventure Brief
Drive through wind-sculpted canyons and sleep under the stars on a full-day Wadi Rum jeep tour that ends in a traditional Bedouin camp. Expect short hikes, bumpy desert tracks, and an evening of tea, stories, and stargazing.
The jeep hums, tires slipping through powder-red sand, and a wall of stone rises up—sheer, striped faces that seem to have been carved by wind rather than time. By late afternoon the light pulls the red out of the desert like a hand, and the crew slows at Um Sabatah to let the sunset do the work: long shadows, a brief coolness, and the hush that falls before a desert night.

Adventure Tips
Hydrate for the day
Carry at least 3 liters of water per person for daytime activities—refill opportunities are limited between stops.
Sun and temperature swings
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and a warm layer for night; desert days burn hot and nights cool quickly.
Wear grippy footwear
Sturdy hiking shoes with good tread handle sandy slopes and short rock scrambles better than sandals.
Ask before photographing people
Respect Bedouin privacy and cultural norms—always request permission before taking portraits in camps or villages.
