Excursion

Wadi Rum

Most people visit Wadi Rum for a few hours as part of a day's journey between one part of the country and another. Arriving at the visitor's centre you will be met by your Bedouin driver and climb aboard his trusty steed, usually a Toyota Landcruiser. You then set off into the "vast, echoing and God-like" landscape of Wadi Rum, for millennia a trading route, hiding place and open-air cathedral. Your tour will take in some of the key sights associated with Lawrence of Arabia, as well as some of the most impressive rock formations: rock bridges and canyons. At one of these canyons you'll find evidence of the wadi's history etched into the walls: ancient symbols carved by traders and herders letting those that follow them where they can find water and shelter. Wadi Rum is still the preserve of the Bedouin, and it's likely that your driver will speak limited English: luckily the towering red sandstone mountains lapped by the endless red dunes need very little explanation.

Excursion

Wadi Rum Stargazing

Secluded away from artificial lights, the Wadi Rum is the perfect location from which to explore the night sky. Through the innovation of science and using state of the art technology and mobile Observatory apps, you will be guided through the hidden wonders of the Universe. You begin with a short presentation which takes you on a journey; shedding light on the cosmos. Stepping outside you get your first amazing look at the sky through the optics of a telescope. The night sky is filled with many wonders, most of which are invisible to the naked eye. Through these telescopes you can see the grandeur of the stars and gasses that make up the galaxies and nebulae of our skies. You leave with the knowledge to map your own stars and a memorable photo taken by a professional astrophotographer with the stars as your background.  

Excursion

Wadi Rum Trekking

For those spending a night or two in the desert and looking to be engulfed in the history and scenery of the Wadi Rum, then a guided hike with jeep support is the trip for you. This can be a five-hour trip or for the fully immersive tour, an eight hour day, but don't worry, your hike will include a number of rest stops under the shade of local Bedouin tents where you'll be offered enough mint tea to start your own stand. You visit natural and famous landmarks such as canyons and the burdah rock bridge and see evidence of those who’ve passed this way before in rock inscriptions dating back hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. It was here that Lawrence of Arabia fashioned his unique desert fighting force and there are numerous sites associated with his exploits. But more than anything else Wadi Rum offers the chance to enjoy the silence and majesty of one of the world’s great landscapes.
