3.10 Hour Jeep Tour Pass, Camel, Sandbording & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · from $59

Spend 9 to 12 hours in UNESCO-listed Wadi Rum with a Bedouin driver-guide, open-air jeep rides, a short camel trip, sandboarding, lunch, tea and sunset views. Ahmed has guided some departures, but drivers may vary. Pickup is available inside the protected area.

“This experience was truly amazing and our driver Ahmed was fun. However, when you book this tour, be aware that you’re gonna do a lot of hiking.
