Our jeep tours allow you to visit plenty of interesting sites as well as reach some of the far-away attractions of Wadi Rum. Moreover, the full-day tour will also allow you to enjoy magnificent views of the desert all throughout the day, while riding on top of a jeep (comfortable benches and sunshades installed), have lunch in the desert at a nice picturesque spot. In the evening, we either stop on the way to watch a beautiful desert sunset, or you can watch it from our Bedouin camp where you will stay for the night. At the camp, you will see how we prepare our traditional food under the Earth, which will be part of a huge dinner buffet. Afterwards, you can relax around the fire where you can share conversations, ask us questions about our culture or the desert, and listen to Bedouin music we play for you on the oud (and maybe even dancing!). Later enjoy the silence and watch the stars. After a delicious buffet breakfast in the morning, we will take you back to the village.

Burdah Hike Info
I wouldn't hesitate to book with Wild Wadi Rum again. The brothers are doing an excellent job running their company. Here are a few things that are good to know if you're going on the hiking tour with them or staying at the camp, so you can be prepared/proactive: Our family did (part of the) Burdah Rock Bridge hike. It's a spectacular hike, and it's great to be far away from all the other jeeps doing the same standard things. Having said that, on their website it's described as "The hike takes about 3h and is suitable for everybody who enjoys climbing and scrambling at an intermediate level without too much experience needed.", which initially sounded like a perfect fit for our family, since we love scrambling up rocks and actually do have plenty of experience. In retrospect I think it's better suited for those with a lot of experience rock climbing and those unafraid of heights. There are many parts which are like rock-climbing without a harness, with a steep drop-off behind you, or hanging on to a ledge with a steep drop-off below you (they used a rope once). My husband, 17yo and one man on the hike with us ended up doing the whole hike, whereas the 14yo, another man and I ended up turning around after a while. The 14yo has a fear of heights, but has still finished many hikes that were clearly marked as not suited for those with a fear of heights. The other man on our hike simply decided he didn't want to risk dying, which is a valid concern on the hike. I would urge Wild Wadi Rum to change their description on the site and do the hike with at least two guides, instead of one, in case anything happens to anyone. There is no phone reception out there, and it's easy to twist your ankle (or worse). We stayed overnight at their camp, which is in a beautiful location. Be sure to ask for more blankets (which were needed even when sleeping with fleece, hat and woolen socks on), perhaps bring a pillow case to stuff a coat in (the pillow is something hard stuck under the sheet) and clearly specify if you don't want your vegetarian food to be vegetables picked out from under the meat. It'd be great if they could add men/women signs to their bathrooms, since not everyone had heard which was which. In the morning it's great to grab sofa cushions and watch the colors change during sunrise. Breakfast was at 8am when we were there, so we had a lot of time to sit outside and enjoy the scenery.

Amazing way to experience the desert
We spent two days with Eid and his delightful family in Wadi Rum (Jeep tour/short hikes one day and camel trip with stops the next day after a night in their desert camp). Everything was super easy to organize. Everyone spoke English. We saw and wandered some beautiful parts of the desert, saw multiple ancient petroglyph sites, and learned about the land and how the bedouin use various plants. Meals in the camp and in the field were good. Overall we had a great experience which felt very personalized as these guys run a small family operation rather than one of the bigger more "corporate" camps we saw.

A must in Jordan
Salman and his family are absolute gems. The camp was fantastically remote and beautiful. The staff were helpful, friendly and informative. Great local food and awe inspiring scenary. Salman and his family go out of their way to make the experience great for you - they even invited us to their family wedding which was very special. I cannot recommend Wild Wadi Rum highly enough - a must for anyone visiting the area!

Wadi Rum what a spectacular experience
One of the most spectacular experiences that we had in our stay in Jordan. Eid and Salman our guides were humble and very welcoming. They have welcomed us in their home like we were family and Eid and one of his youngest sons drove us around in the desert showing us all the hidden and secret places of wadi rum. We hiked all day to see the most spectacular views. The highlight of our stay was to watch the sunset on top a rock and sleeping in a bedouin tent and eating traditionally prepared food while Salman sang and played music. We would like to thank you for your hospitality and that you give us this experience that stays with us forever. 🫶

Truly amazing
We were guided around by Eid who also turns out to have a hidden talent for cooking as he made us some fabulous home cooked style food for lunch each day in the middle of nowhere. A great character with truly intimate knowledge of the entire area. The pictures and memories that we have from this trip will last forever. Also a nod to Eid's son for guiding us to the top of Burdah Rock Bridge and back. Thank you soo much for this fantastic trip.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wadi Rum Jeep Tour & Camp; Overnight: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Wadi Rum Jeep Tour & Camp; Overnight cost?
+
Prices start at $118 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 Wadi Rum Jeep Tour & Camp; Overnight 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 Wadi Rum Jeep Tour & Camp; Overnight worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 45 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 Wadi Rum Jeep Tour & Camp; Overnight?
+
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 Wadi Rum Jeep Tour & Camp; Overnight 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 Wadi Rum Jeep Tour & Camp; Overnight?
+
Around 16 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 Wadi Rum Jeep Tour & Camp; Overnight 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.
