Exploration tours in Wadi Rum are exciting. When you take a jeep tour, you will drive through the red and golden sands, moving between the mountains and valleys. The scenery looks like Mars, with its rocky landscapes. The jeep tour uses a four-wheel drive vehicle, but locals often call it a “jeep.”
When you arrive at the Wadi Rum Visitor Center, you can see a list of jeep tour prices. The shortest tour is two hours. There is also a sunset tour where you stop at a place to watch the sunset and take beautiful photos. You can enjoy traditional Bedouin tea while sitting there.
It is best to book the jeep tour through your guide, as they know the best options for drivers and vehicles. For example, choose a jeep with a shade to protect you from the sun. Only local residents can drive in Wadi Rum because it is a large desert, and there are no clear paths or phone signals.
During your jeep tour, you will see many famous sites, including:
- The Anfashieh inscriptions
- Lawrence’s spring
- The Mushroom Rock
- The Burdah Rock Bridge
- The red sand dunes
- Um Fruth Rock Bridge
- The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
- Cave drawings, rock carvings, and remains of ancient trade routes
