day in Wadi Rum- Into the southern Wadi Rum and optional climbing

Hiking and climbing in the wilds of Rum: Climbing to the top of the arch of Jabel (Mt.) Burda or to the top of Jabel Um Adami, the highest Mt. in Jordan- probably the most exhilarating way to experience the beauty of Wadi Rum. We follow dramatic 4×4 routes in our off-road vehicles and by foot explore hidden hiking trails that take in the best of the areas scenery. An exceptional day in the wilds of Rum that few tourists get to experience. Camels can be combined as well during the day.

Trekking guide sup: 90- 150$ for the group in case you want to climb, depends on number of people and season
This option includes overnight in Wadi Rum instead of Petra (for the 2nd night)

Camel Tours in Wadi Rum

To really experience spirit of the desert we must leave the 4×4 behind and take a more traditional kind of journey, by camel. Camel tours in the Rum offer an authentic desert experience, suitable for all ages, it is an outdoor experience that is difficult to match. We join the local Bedouin and experience their ancient desert lifestyle, enjoying traditional meals including flat-bread, prepared on the open campfire. We camp outdoors at the most scenic spots along the route and enjoy magical Arabian evenings under the awe-inspiring desert night-skies. Each participant has his own camel to ride and the camels in Rum are comfortable to ride on. They move graciously over the sands, treading softly and swaying gently in a slow relaxing movement. A Bedouin handler accompanies each camel but those who prefer to ride their camel unaided my do so. Camel tours get to the lesser-visited areas of the Rum and involve some walking into the canyons and on natural trails along the way.
For thousands of years merchants have crossed these sands of Wadi Rum with their camel caravans, following the spice route from Asia to Europe. The sandy expanses of Wadi Rum are surrounded by beautifully eroded mountains, rock formations, canyons and towering pillars of sandstone rock. We can find along the route ancient rock inscriptions carved into the sandstone by those who traveled here many centuries before. Camel tour durations are according to client’s preferences.

Wadi Mujib

Between April to October (child under 18 is not allowed) –

Another of Jordan’s renowned canyons is Wadi Mujib. It is the largest and most impressive of all the canyons. its vertical walls tower 500 meters from the base and the streams, which run their length, reach up to 15 meters high after rain. Due to this no vegetation can grow in the canyons. The canyon has a strong stream running its entire length ad getting fully wet is unavoidable. The Mujib is a perfect option for the summer months, when you dry off almost as quickly as you get wet. The hike is more difficult than of option 2 and its involved with a payment of 25$ p.p. as entrance fees into the reserve. This day is involved with a beautiful long drive of 2.5 hours each way. Highly recommended!

These magnificent canyons are unique to this area and flow year-round with warm spring water. Rock-pools and waterfalls are found throughout their length and rich vegetation adorn their canyon walls.
