If you are planning to visit the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan, you really need to book a Wadi Rum jeep tour. It is the best way to see the desert, visit all of the things to see in Wadi Rum, and have a real Jordan adventure. We also highly recommend you to spend the night before or after your tour in a Wadi Rum Bedouin camp so you make the most of your time and can witness beautiful sunrise and sunset in Wadi Rum.
Booking a Wadi Rum jeep tour will make your tour a lot easier. You will get an experienced driver who will be knowing every corner of this desert. He will take you to the most beautiful attractions and tell you more about the life of Bedouins and how they live nowadays. Also, the jeep tours are affordable and you are sure to enjoy the most unique experience.
Choosing a Wadi Rum Jeep Tour
The jeep tours will allow you to visit the most sites in the least amount of time as well as reach some of the far-away attractions to Wadi Rum and beyond. Even on booking shorter jeep tours, you can visit soaring Jabaal, sand dunes, rock arches, scenic canyons, and Nabatean sites. By booking longer jeep tours you will visit some of the least-visited spots in Wadi Rum while giving you a deeper, more memorable experience in the desert that includes visiting traditional Bedouin families.
What to Expect from a Wadi Rum Jeep Tour
Let’s talk about the vehicle first….
The 4*4 jeep
The jeeps are actually pick-up trucks converted so that tourists can sit in the back and that is quite comfortable. But when booking a jeep tour keep a note that it’s extremely hot in Wadi Rum during summer. And most jeeps do not have a roof to give you shade. However, some of them have roofs and we recommend booking one of them. The ride will be quite bumpy. As there are no roads, you will pass over bigger or smaller dunes along the way.
The weather and what to wear
Wadi Rum is extremely hot during the summer. So, cover yourself and wear long pants, preferably a long-sleeve blouse and something to cover your head. Do not forget to carry sunscreen and some water!
Wear sunglasses if you have sensitive eyes. They will protect you from small sand particles. Avoid wearing sandals or flip-flops. As you will have to climb through the sand it’s best to wear sneakers.
Activities
Before booking your tour, talk to your driver about any activities that you would like to try. You can choose a camel tour or try sand-boarding. Make sure to ask beforehand whether these activities are included in the tour price, and if not, how much they cost.
Bedouin Camps
While exploring Wadi Rum you are sure to choose at least one Bedouin camp. These small camps come in the shape of souvenir shops. You can buy something little to remind you of visiting this incredible place. Most Bedouin camps are located near important attractions like the Mushroom Rock or the Um Fourth Rock.
Booking a Wadi Rum jeep tour is one of the must-have experiences in Jordan. Spending time in the desert will make you realize how incredible nature is. To book a reliable jeep tour in Wadi Rum, visit Rum Magic Nights.
