What you'll see and do
Lawrence's Spring
The spring is at the top of a short scramble – head for the fig tree, located just 2km (1.2 miles) south-west of the village of Rum. The spring was named in honour of Lawrence’s evocative description in the Seven Pillars of Wisdom: ‘’In front of us a path, pale with use, zigzagged up the cliff-plinth…From between [the] trees, in hidden crannies of the rock, issued strange cries; the echoes, turned into music, of the voices of the Arabs watering camels at the springs which flowed out three hundred feet above ground’’. Although the pool itself is largely unprepossessing, being a stagnant puddle, the views across the desert are truly spectacular.

Khazali Canyon in Wadi Rum is the site of petroglyphs etched into the cave walls depicting humans and antelopes dating back to the Thamudic times. This narrow canyon contains numerous Nabataean rock carvings of people and animals. Jebel Khazali, a peak situated in the center of Wadi Rum Protected Area opens up in a narrow fissure of about 100 m length. Its inner walls are covered with Thamudic, Nabatean, and Islamic inscriptions, as well petroglyphs depicting humans and animals. Remarkable are the soles of feet petroglyphs, which probably had religious significance. In 1932 the French epigraphist Savignac noted the engravings in the cleft and published some of them in 1934. The petroglyphs and inscriptions of Khazali Siq form an impressive collection being one of the major tourist attractions in Wadi Rum. At the end of the canyon, there are several man-made rock-cut basins for water collection.

Among the vast expanses of rust-coloured sand in the Wadi Rum desert, the Red Sand Dune, or ‘Al Hasany’ in Arabic, is one of the most famous ones. Officially named Al Ramal it has become better known by its descriptive name. It stands out against a cliff side like it is part of the mountain. Coloured red by the presence of iron oxide, this dune is fine and soft underfoot making it perfect to walk up barefoot!

Wadi Rum Protected Area
Little Rock Bridge: Easy to climb, this bridge offers great views across a broad expanse of desert. It is easily accessible and not dangerous, it is perfect for families with children and people who feel less comfortable with heights under their feet.

Lawrence's House
Nobody is certain that this was Lawrence’s house, although there are stories that he both stayed and/or stored weapons here. The current structure is built upon the remains of a Nabataean building, however, and it’s another beautiful spot in the desert. There is little left of this building, erected on the Nabataean ruins of a water cistern. Nonetheless, legend has it that Lawrence stayed here during the Arab Revolt and that makes it a must on the regular 4WD circuits of the area. Near the building is a Nabataean inscription that mentions the area’s ancient name of Iram. The remote location and uninterrupted view of the red sand dunes are the main attractions.

Wadi Rum Protected Area
The White Desert is located near the Saudi border, 40 km south of Wadi Rum village. The landscape is similar to the Wadi Rum desert, but the sand is white. It is also an amazing place to see the sunset from.

The largest of Rum’s three arches is the Burdah Rock Bridge, precariously perched about 80m above the surrounding rock. There’s a precipitous hike to the summit. It’s height and location offers one of the most terrific sunsets you will ever experience.

Unique and amazing trip
fantastic experience. Solo travelled and felt really safe. Taxi in to the village in wadi rum, had a good group. Went into the desert and climbed up the rocks and learnt about the bedouin way of living. Beautiful sunset also. Would say - bring water (it was fantastic but we did not get a lot whilst there) and shoes to climb. Bring toilet paper as v few toilets (nature) At the end we spent the evening at the camp and it was lovely. The owner also dropped me back in the village for a taxi as i was not staying the night!

Incredible Bedouin Hospitality
We had an amazing time! We booked a jeep tour with an overnight stay in a Bedouin camp at Wadi Rum, and it was beyond anything we could’ve hoped for. The tour is run by a family of brothers who were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. They took care of everything and made sure the whole experience was full of fun and good vibes. The desert was absolutely stunning—massive dunes, incredible rock formations, and breathtaking views everywhere you looked. The sunset ride was unforgettable, and the dinner at the camp was delicious. The hospitality was so warm, and the camp was clean and cozy. Sleeping under the stars in the middle of the desert is a memory we’ll treasure forever. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

I wanted to give more than 5 stars ...
... but it was impossible. I admit that I booked this activity at the beginning without really knowing what to expect, especially to please my partner. Well, I'm really glad I did! All day long, we saw splendid landscapes in the company of an extremely kind, attentive, funny and generous guide (ask for Rachid, you'll see!), roamed the desert, ate local dishes and had tea with the locals... At the end of the trip, when we couldn't get a taxi back to Aqaba, they took pity on us and brought us back to town (even though it wasn't planned), that's how welcoming they are. I'd highly recommend it to everyone !

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half day tour and overnight stay in luxury tents: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Half day tour and overnight stay in luxury tents cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Half day tour and overnight stay in luxury tents take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Half day tour and overnight stay in luxury tents worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 146 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half day tour and overnight stay in luxury tents?
+
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 Half day tour and overnight stay in luxury tents suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half day tour and overnight stay in luxury tents?
+
Around 51 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half day tour and overnight stay in luxury tents 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.
