Wild desert tour’s description
As mentioned above, the tour starts at 9:30 AM or at 10 AM.
We will start with a drive through the Al Kashkasheh valley, surrounded by mountains. At the end of the valley, we will reach a high spot with fantastic views. You will see Um Sabatah and the surrounding area where the red and white desert meet.
We then drive past Um Mugur to reach Wadi Nuqra. After a 15-minute hike through the dunes you will reach a wonderful view of Al Qatar mountain. Afterwards you will explore a colorful canyon for 1 hour where it is possible to meet some nomadic Bedouin families and their camels.
After many opportunities at amazing spots to take-in the scenes of the desert, we will break for lunch. We will retreat from the heat to a nice shady spot where lunch will be prepared fresh and served hot. After lunch you will rest and enjoy our traditional Bedouin tea while sharing stories of the land and people.
Once rested, we continue to Wadi Sabet, a long valley near the Saudi border. The area, full of shrubs, blooms into a beautiful display of flowers in springtime. Nomadic Bedouin and their camels come to enjoy this place year-round. This area also offers you a view of Um Ad Dami, the highest mountain in Jordan. From there, we drive you to Al Daghdagh’s canyon. At the end of the canyon, you will make an easy climb to arrive to an open view of the desert from the top of the mountain. To finish the day, as we drive through the red and the white desert, we will show you where the Bedouins collected and saved water.
At the end of the tour, we will take you back to our authentic Bedouin camp where you will spend the night. You will watch the sunset over the desert while we prepare a traditional and delicious Bedouin meal.
We can organize your trip according to your plans. If you plan on arriving to Wadi Rum late, you can start your journey with a night in our camp and tour the next day, then we’ll take you back to your car to continue your adventures elsewhere. If your schedule requires something else feel free to contact us and we’ll be happy to work something out that works for you.
