What you'll see and do
Lawrence's Spring
Once you arrive there you can see a natural spring which is used by both the animals and Bedouins as a source of fresh water. This is a popular spot for camels to go to. Here, you can follow the pipe up the mountain to climb up to a few fig trees for a great view over the spring and the surrounding desert. Please note this is not an easy climb. Even though it seems easier going up, going down is much more difficult. Be aware you will be needing your hands and feet to hike and climb up the rocks. You can ask your guide for the best way up and down.
40 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Drive through where "Lawrence of Arabia" was filmed on our way to the Sand Dune with 360 view. You can hike up this sand dune to the rocky outcrop. Then it's a short easy climb to get to the top. From there you get a 360 degree view of that part of the red desert. If you like, you can bring a board and slide down the sand dune or rent one from the tent nearby for 5JOD. Opposite the sand dune is the place where they filmed “The Martian”.
30 minutes here
Jebel Khazali
Short couple of minutes hike inside the canyon with old inscriptions on both sides. You can continue inside a little further, but it gets quite narrow and more difficult to hike and climb at places.
30 minutes here
Naturally formed rock bridge you can climb onto. It's a short climb, but will require hands and feet.
30 minutes here
See the house where Lawrence of Arabia lived. You can also hike and climb up for a view here. It's relatively short with a moderate climb near the top.
30 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Go to a cave or cooler spot in the shade for a Bedouin-style lunch prepared by the guide. We will stay here to eat, drink and relax until 4pm so we bypass the hottest time of day.
120 minutes here
Drive through where “Star Wars IX – The rise of Skywalker” was filmed on your way to Mushroom Rock. See the geographical wonder that is the mushroom rock. If you want, you can listen to traditional Bedouin music while drinking tea next to the rock. (When available.)
30 minutes here
From the entrance to Burdah Canyon, you'll have a view of the Burdah Rock Bridge, which is the largest natural bridge in Wadi Rum. If there's enough time, you can hike through the canyon and back. (Easy hike)
30 minutes here
About 30-minute hike, with a short moderate climb in the middle, through the canyon. One of the most stunning places in the desert. You will be dropped off at the beginning of the canyon and the jeep will wait for you at the end.
40 minutes here
Drive through where “Aladdin” was filmed on your way to Um Frouth Bridge. Middle-sized natural bridge which you can climb onto. It's a moderate climb and descent. Then finally continue onwards to a prime location for a sunset view over the White Desert. Best view is a moderate climb up. However, from the smaller rocks the view is also amazing.

Wadi Rum Protected Area
Note: After you arrive in Wadi Rum's Visitor Center, pay the 5JD entrance fee (you don't have to pay if you have a Jordan Pass) and inform the desk you have already booked with a Bedouin Guide - Raad Zalabia or Riad Zalabia. Do not trust any people who are not able to present you with their ID. If we may be so bold to add: This tour will show you the best places Wadi Rum has to offer. However, an overnight stay added to this will give you the Full Bedouin experience! Stay the night in our Bedouin style tent and enjoy a Bedouin dinner (mashawi dish, salad, Jordanian bread, tea) while traditional Jordanian live music is performed (when available). Your Bedouin guide will be happy to tell you stories about Wadi Rum desert and Bedouin culture when asked. If you want, you can go for a night-time walk in the desert with your Bedouin guide. The next day, you can wake up early to catch the sunrise and we will bring you back to the Rest House in Wadi Rum village after breakfast. One night stay with breakfast and dinner included is only 20JOD per person. If required, we can assist you in finding transport to leave Wadi Rum (payment for taxi, bus, car rental etc. is not included).

Great tour!
I enjoyed the tour very much! We visited many beautiful places and drank a lot of delicious beduin tea. The tour ended in the spot where we could admire the sun set from the high rock, drinking tea and watching the beautiful view of the desert!

Good tour
Everything was great except for a few minor disconnects on the meeting point and full explanation of each attraction from the driver. I think he was more a driver than a Bedouin tour guide was I wanted.

Full Day Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum Desert | Magic Bedouin Star: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Full Day Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum Desert | Magic Bedouin Star cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aqaba usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum Desert | Magic Bedouin Star take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aqaba is not rushed.
Is Full Day Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum Desert | Magic Bedouin Star worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum Desert | Magic Bedouin Star?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum Desert | Magic Bedouin Star suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum Desert | Magic Bedouin Star?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aqaba can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aqaba and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Jeep Tour in Wadi Rum Desert | Magic Bedouin Star start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aqaba within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Aqaba?
+
On Outty we rank every Aqaba experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4x4 Full-Day Desert Tour, Wadi Rum Full Day Jeep Tour + Overnight & Dinner in Bedouin Camp, Diving, Snorkeling & Leisure Cruises by Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Aqaba?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Aqaba?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
