The jeep bumps off the packed track and the world narrows to rust-red rock and the steady hiss of sand sliding down a dune. By noon the sun has warmed the stone until it breathes heat; camels amble past a spring where green moss clings stubbornly to the water. That first day in Wadi Rum is a blur of ridgelines, thyme-scented air, and sudden pockets of shade where a Bedouin guide will hand you tea and a story.

Carry extra water
Bottled water is included, but bring an additional 1–2 liters for hikes and dune climbs; temperatures drop fast at night so hydrate accordingly.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wide-brim hat, SPF 30+, and sunglasses will save the day during midday crossings when shade is rare.
Wear grippy footwear
Soft sand and rocky slabs require sturdy trail shoes with good tread—flip-flops are not suitable for canyon scrambles.
Respect Bedouin customs
Dress modestly during village stops, ask before photographing people, and follow your guide's lead during cultural interactions.
