Wadi Rum Nomadic Hiking Tour

Hike & Sleep Under The Stars in Wadi Rum

If you want to hike in the Wadi Rum desert, truly immerse yourself in its nature, and learn from our Bedouin guides about the nomadic Bedouin culture, this tour is definitely for you. During the Wadi Rum Nomadic Hiking Tour, you will hike between attractions and hidden gems that only locals know, away from the crowded sites. Each night we will set up a new open-air camp for you to enjoy a traditional meal and sleep under the stars.

Easy Hike & Jeep Rides Between Places

To be able to see and hike in the most interesting canyons, valleys, sand dunes, rock arches, and summits, you will have a guide on foot to help you navigate between attractions and give you info about each place you visit.

When the expanse of the desert requires it, your driving guide will take you closer to the sites where you resume on foot with your hiking guide.

The driving guide will always be available along the tour to assist the hikers, carry luggage, food and water, and prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and set up the mobile camp.

Eat Traditional Delicious Food

Enjoy the traditional national dish called "Maqlouba" and many other local delicious full of flavor meals prepared by a skillful Bedouin cook on every evening of your stay in Wadi Rum.

Option #1 Two Guides: Jeep Guide & Hiking Guide: in this option you will have a guide on foot during your entire trip, to help you navigate all hiking paths and explain to you everthing comes along during the tour. You will also have a Jeep guide to drive you between hiking spots, prepare meals, carry luggage on the car, and set up the mobile camp location.

Option #2 One Guide: Jeep Guide Only: In this option, you will have a guide with a jeep to drive you to the hiking spots, show you the path, prepare meals, and setup the mobile camp location.

One, Two, or Three Days:

"Our Wadi Rum experience was simply amazing! We were a group of 3 ladies and we booked a jeep tour and one hour camel ride, our local guide was just a great genuine bedouin, very friendly, very funny, with amazing driving and rock climbing skills (man, he was like a lizard!) :)

Many thanks to our beduin friends for their hospitality and great services! We highly appreciated the Wadi Rum experience!

Best regards to Shteiwi, our lovely guide!"
