Private Full-Day Trip to Wadi Rum from Amman
Amman, Jordan
Explore magnificent Wadi Rum in a 4x4 on this private full-day trip from Amman! Travel to this protected wilderness and ride a 4x4 with a Bedouin driver around its valleys, canyons and deserts. Discover rock inscriptions, craggy mountains and narrow gorges; and see sites associated with TE Lawrence, the famous ‘Lawrence of Arabia.’ Upgrade your tour to include a camel ride and sip mint tea, and then return to Amman. On this private tour, you travel in a comfortable private minivan with a driver, and enjoy personalized attention from your Bedouin driver-guide.
Start your experience with a pickup from your Amman hotel, and travel south to Wadi Rum in a comfortable private minivan. Having spent around 4 hours on the road, arrive in this spectacular desert wilderness.
Covering a vast area of southern Jordan, this protected region consists of rugged mountains, desert valleys, dunes and canyons, all begging to be explored. During WWI, TE Lawrence, otherwise known as ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ fought alongside the Bedouins who lived here and many of its sites are named after him.
During your visit, take time out for lunch (own expense) and enjoy a 2-hour tour in a 4x4 with a friendly Bedouin driver at the wheel. Travel deep into the region, whose colors and moods seem to change with every passing hour. Rumble along arid riverbeds and desert plains cloaked in silence, and stop for photos at some of the most beautiful viewpoints. Gaze at the waterfall at Lawrence Spring and ancient Nabataean rock inscriptions, and see everything from natural rock bridges to steep-walled canyons — a camera is a must!
Choose to upgrade your tour to enjoy an included, 30-minute camel ride and visit to a Bedouin tent. Soak up the views from your Bedouin saddle as your camel plods over the sandy terrain and head into the traditional tent for some refreshing mint tea before you re-board your 4x4.
Afterward, leave Wadi Rum and rejoin your driver and private vehicle for your journey back to Amman. Your tour ends with a hotel drop-off in the late afternoon.
Our driver, Amer from Zaid Tours, was excellent. He picked us up promptly at our hotel and we made the three hour drive to Wadi Rum. Zaid Tours had arranged a private guided tour and a camel ride, with lunch. We had a great time and learned a lot from Amer about not just the area but the history as well. He was great. He took the time to make a video of us on our camel ride and surprised us by sending it electronically that same evening. It was a great experience overall. Zaid Tours, and Amer, provided excellent service.

We had a great trip to Wadi Rum. Our tour guide Shadi was amazing. He was informative and provided us with an amazing experience. Not only would I recommend Viator for tours, I would absolutely request Shadi while in Jordan! I have already recommended him to a few friends. A great experience all round.

As we were also going to Petra, the driver suggested that the visits be combined. Great idea otherwise we would have travelled over much of the same desert road two days in a row. Wadi Rum was terrific, and would love to see more of it sometime.

An amazing day away from Amman! Wadi Rum is so peaceful and relaxing, its the perfect getaway from the craziness of Amman. The camel ride was a perfect addition to the tour a true Bedouin experience.
