Wadi Rum Overnight Jeep Tour and Bedouin Camp — Full-Day Desert Adventure
Select participants and date
The Jeep drops you onto a skin of glassy sandstone and the wind reads the map. Dunes roll like slow waves, jagged towers of rock rise like islands, and the sky opens so wide it feels like a different element. On a full-day Jeep tour through Wadi Rum, the desert doesn’t wait politely — it pushes you forward, insists you look closer, and gives you room to breathe.

Adventure Tips
Stay hydrated and carry extra water
Bottled water is provided, but bring a refillable 1–2L bottle to avoid running low between stops and hikes.
Protect against sun and sand
Use high-SPF sunscreen, a broad-brim hat, and wraparound sunglasses — sand reflects sunlight fiercely here.
Wear sand- and rock-friendly footwear
Closed-toe hiking shoes with good grip handle both soft dunes and rough sandstone ledges.
Bring a headlamp for night and early-morning use
Camps are minimally lit; a headlamp makes walking around at night and sunrise photos easier and safer.
