★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · from $60Our pick

Start at Wadi Rum Village for a four-hour outing through the protected desert. Ride a camel for 40 minutes, visit the Nabatean temple, Lawrence’s Spring, a natural bridge, sand dunes, and Khazali Canyon, with sandboarding, water, tea, and coffee included.

“Pretty decent value. Good variety of activities considering the length of the tour. The other people in the group were doing a longer tour and I was allowed to join them for lunch free of charge. I recommend trying out sandboarding, eventhough it's a bit cumbersome when the sand is dry.”

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. It’s not really a tour – the driver brings you to different locations in the desert but leaves you to explore by yourself, which can be either great or unpleasant, depending on what type of traveller you are. The tour itself is a bit overpriced, given your guide really just drives you to places and doesn’t do much else (and the lunch is very minimal), but the experience is still wonderful mostly because of all the sights you get to indulge in. I…”

“Who won't want to ride a camel in Jordan. Our track was organised by our tour guide and was about an hour. We were planning on doing one at Petra but we're advised we would get better value at Wadi Rum with a longer ride. We were not sorry we took up the offer as it waRead more”
