About this experience
Enjoy the ultimate jeep safari with an experienced local Bedouin guide, showing you all the Highlights of Wadi Rum! Feel on top of the world by standing on top of a rock bridge, cool down in the canyon or have fun by running down from a sand dune. At each stop the guide will tell you a story about the sight and you get the time to explore, take pictures, interact with local Bedouins, walk around or even climb. Some sights have shops where Bedouins offer free tea, souvenirs, and a place to sit and relax. We also prepare a delicious Bedouin lunch, cooked outside on the fire. And at the end of the tour, we watch the sunset from the best viewpoint. For the ultimate Wadi Rum experience, you can also book an overnight stay in a tent at our camp, or sleep under the stars in a cave. You will visit the following sights: Lawrence spring, Khazali Canyon, Red sand dune, Little bridge, Um Fruth Rock Bridge, Abu khashaba canyon, Lawrence house, White desert, Mushroom rock and Burdah rock bridge

What you'll see and do
Wadi Rum Village
Wadi Rum Village - We will meet at the Rest House in Wadi Rum Village. This is the first place you will see on your right, when you enter the village. There is a supermarket and a souvenir shop and our office is just around the corner. When all tourists are present and welcomed by the guide, we start the jeep tour (usually around 10:00)
15 minutes here
Lawrence's Spring
Lawrence Spring - This natural water source with cool water running down the mountains into the throughs, is the camels' favorite hangout! With small trees and the almost fluorescent green moss, this is a true oasis. Relax here, just as the Bedouins and their herds used to do, and watch how herds of camels pass by, longing for fresh water. Or climb up the mountain to see spectacular views and the many inscriptions of Thamudic origin.
30 minutes here
Jebel Khazali
Khazali Canyon - From the outside, this looks like an ordinary mountain, but when you enter the canyon between the split mountains, you take a journey back in time. You can see the traces of the merchants who traveled with their caravans from Egypt to Damascus, and of the pilgrims who passed through the canyon to Mecca. See the fascinating Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, and petroglyphs of humans, animals, and soles of feet when you enter the canyon. And a series of basins in the back.
30 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Red Sand Dune - This is the most famous sand dune in Wadi Rum! It owes its red color to a high concentration of iron oxide. It seems like a simple climb, but the sand is soft and difficult to walk on, which can make it challenging for tourists to climb, but very entertaining for the locals to watch. At the top you can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the valley. The best way to get down is running or sandboarding.
60 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Little Bridge - Through years of various severe weather influences, this natural Little Bridge has been formed on a rock formation in the Khor El Ajram area. It is called Little Bridge because it’s only a few meters high and easy to climb, but the views are stunning and on pictures it looks pretty big and impressive. It’s perfect for families with children, and those who don’t want to climb too high. When you come down again, a cup of sweet tea awaits you in the Bedouin tent where you can buy souvenirs or relax and hang out with locals.
30 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Umm Fruth Rock Bridge - This 15-meter-high bridge is the most famous bridge in Wadi Rum. It is not a historical place but it is the ultimate place to take enviable photos. Give your phone or camera to your guide who will stay on the ground and take an impressive photo of you on top of the bridge. The locals run up and down the bridge with ease, but for tourists it is a bit more challenging. That is why small holes have been made which makes the climb a bit easier.
30 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Traditional Bedouin Lunch - We will take you to a nice place with a good view, where your guide prepares a delicious traditional lunch, cooked outside on the fire. The menu is different every day, but we like to cook you a warm meal with vegetables, bread, hummus, yoghurt, and other local treats. While we are cooking, you can explore the area with a hike, or just sit down and relax while you enjoy the Wadi Rum landscape.
60 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Abu Khashaba Canyon - Stretch your legs and enjoy a nice walk in this deep narrow valley, surrounded by tall mountain walls. There’s a lot of green, which makes a beautiful contrast with the red desert sand. You will see many different types of trees and plants, and hear countless birds chirping. The locals have hung bottles to collect the rainwater so that the birds can drink from it. It is a real oasis of peace. The walk takes 30 to 45 minutes, and your guide will pick you up on the other side.
60 minutes here
Lawrence's House
Lawrence's House - Lawrence's house plays an important role in the history of Wadi Rum. Nabateans laid the foundation for this place over 2000 years ago which was used as a stop for the passing caravans. Later it became known as Lawrence's house, because TE Lawrence, in the story "Lawrence of Arabia" was based here. When you reach the top after a short climb, you will be amazed by the countless piles of stones. In the past, the Bedouins used to stack stones as road markings. You can see far into the vast desert plain, which again makes for great photos.
30 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
White Desert - Wadi Rum is known for the red sand where most of the highlights of the tour are, but further south the area changes into the white desert. It seems as if you have entered a completely different world. This area is not yet heavily visited by tourists, so there is much more flora to discover and a better chance to spot wildlife. It’s very special to stand in the white sand and see the transition to the red part in the distance. You can also notice a difference in the landscape, the rock formations and even the sand itself.
30 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Mushroom Rock - In Wadi Rum there are many famous rock formations, known for its unusual and sometimes even funny shape. The Musroom shaped rock owes its shape to years of erosion, with the lower part wearing out faster than the upper part. Mushroom Rock is fun place to take nice pictures and find some shelter. Bedouins used rock formations like this to seek shelter, after walking in the hot desert for hours.
30 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Burdah Rock Bridge - At the top of Jabal Burdah, you will find one of the highest natural rock bridges in the world. During the jeep tour we make a stop close by so that we can admire the bridge from a distance. The total climb to the bridge can take up to 4 hours, this is not included in the jeep tour and can be booked via a hiking tour or upon request.
30 minutes here
Wadi Rum Protected Area
Sunset Viewpoint - Wadi Rum is known for having the most breathtaking sunsets. Each day we see different colors! And we know the best places to watch it! We will take you to a secluded area where you can overlook the wide panoramic landscape as the sun sets, while we prepare some sweet Bedouin tea on the fire. Just sit on the mattrass or in the sand and take in all the beauty you see around you.

Slightly chaotic but great fun nonetheless!
It didn’t start off the best. We arrived at 9:30 as per the booking, but our guide didn’t arrive until 9:55. When he did arrive he was confused as to what we had booked and thought we were doing a half day and it took a few minutes and a couple of phone calls to sort it out. Once everything was sorted and we got out into the desert though everything was great! We had an absolutely great time driving around and exploring Wadi Rum. Every single stop (except the mushroom rock) was interesting, fun and absolutely amazing to look at. I do think the description saying you only need moderate fitness is a bit misleading as it was a very physically intense day climbing up to some of the locations (Lawrence spring and the second rock bridge especially!) The lunch was a traditional galayet with vegetables, tuna and bread, and it was absolutely delicious - one of the best meals we ate during our stay in Jordan! All the tour operators follow roughly the same route, so despite just having us booked onto our trip we spent a lot of the day with them same people from other groups which made it more fun. There were plenty of extra opportunities not mentioned which we also got to enjoy. There was sand-boarding and we got to feed a camel, and at the end we got to sit and watch the sunset from an amazing viewpoint right in the middle of the area. We had an absolutely amazing time and can’t recommend it enough!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words and we will also take the tips into account!

Amazing authentic desert experience
It was an incredible experience!! Bakhir, our guide, took us to see all the most famous places, as well as some hidden gems.He gave us a lot of free time to roam around and explore by ourselves. He is such a kind and calm person, and his stories of the desert are amazing. Also, his photography skills are top notch. He took such great photos & videos of us, we were amazed. Throughout the trip he was very attentive to our needs, we had everything we needed and more - cold water, fruits, sweets and the lunch he cooked was yummy.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much! We really had a great time as well

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Jeep Tour & Traditional Lunch - Wadi Rum Desert Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Full Day Jeep Tour & Traditional Lunch - Wadi Rum Desert Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $23 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 & Traditional Lunch - Wadi Rum Desert Highlights take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 & Traditional Lunch - Wadi Rum Desert Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 113 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 & Traditional Lunch - Wadi Rum Desert Highlights?
+
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 & Traditional Lunch - Wadi Rum Desert Highlights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Jeep Tour & Traditional Lunch - Wadi Rum Desert Highlights?
+
Around 40 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Jeep Tour & Traditional Lunch - Wadi Rum Desert Highlights 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 Private Diving Experience in The Heart of Red Sea in Aqaba, 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.
