Private Tour: Wadi Rum Sunset Jeep Tour From Petra

Amman, Jordan

Explore the magnificent Wadi Rum in a 4x4 on this private tour from Petra. Travel to this protected wilderness in 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.’ 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 Petra hotel, and travel south to Wadi Rum in a comfortable private jeep. Having spent around 1.5 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, T. E. 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 (not included) and enjoy a 3-4-hour tour in the 4x4 Jeep. Travel deep into the region, where 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!

Afterwards, leave Wadi Rum for your journey back to Petra. Your tour ends with a hotel drop-off in early night.

Not to be missed. Wonderful meal with live music in a Bedouin oasis camp. Friendly guide and staff. Other worldly desert beauty. This is where The Martian was recently filmed you will recognize the landscape if you've seen that movie. At our request, the tour guide extended our visit for four more hours for 80. Totally worth the money. Highly recommend the camp here
