Wadi Rum Bedouin Jewels Adventure!

Adventure tour in Petra

Tour Price : 550USDpp Duration : 3 days Languages: English, Arabic

Day.1.: Start in Wadi Rum village and drive first to Lawrence's Spring and then to the red sand dunes in Wadi Um Ishrin and to Jebel Anafishiya where you can also see some Nabatean inscriptions. We continue, visiting "Lawrence's House" from where there are some great views, and then to the Barragh Canyon. Here we have lunch. We usually pause for an hour, sometimes more, after lunch to allow for everybody's digestion and to avoid the heat of the day. If you are not interested in sleeping, this is a good time to spend a while hiking round and taking photos at your leisure without the pressure of continuing the tour. Otherwise you can relax for a bit with a book, perhaps planning your next stop in Jordan. In the afternoon there is an optional short hike in the canyon for about a kilometer before we drive to where we have a view up the mountain of the bridge on Jebel Burdah, and then to Um Fruth Bridge (you can climb this bridge if you like, it is about 20 meters high) and Khazali Canyon. From there we head back to the camp from where you can watch the sunset. A bit later we have supper, enjoy the evening and the stars and stay to sleep.

Day .2.: The next day we shall drive south for nearly an hour to a long ridge stretching approximately east to west across the desert. This is Jebel Khasch. It is easy to climb up and we shall walk the length of the ridge for three to four hours. There are fantastic views to the north over Wadi Rum and to the south over Saudi Arabia. After that, coming down again in the distant valley of Nogara where the jeep will be waiting for you. Then, drive back to the previous day's camp.

Day .3.: After a night spent in the desert we start off on the camels for a 4 to 5 hours trip which will take you to some places you did not visit previously. If you have any special suggestions about where to go we should be happy to hear them. Here, there is no need to offer an itinerary, since it can vary with each client. Then, shall come back to Rum Village before sunset. This is about a 5 hours' ride on the camel which gives you the time to learn how to control it yourself without the help of the guide. You will enjoy the tour much better like this. This is a programme with - we hope - something for everybody who loves the wild places and the desert. Certainly you see something of everything in Wadi Rum.
