Your day begins with a 50-mile drive to the village of Rum. After arriving at your destination, you’ll hop on off-road vehicles and begin a 2-hour journey through the starkly beautiful Wadi Rum, with its sheer granite and sandstone cliffs, and uniquely shaped mountains rising dramatically out of the sand. The magnificent scenery, including the towering cliffs of weathered stone, ancient riverbeds and mauve-colored stretches of sand will amaze you.
As you drive through the desert with your local guide, you’ll spot several Bedouin tribes scattered throughout the area. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing cup of mint tea or cardamom coffee at one of these Bedouin camps. Leaving the hauntingly stunning scenery behind, you will re-board your motor coach and return to Aqaba.
Please note: This tour includes limited walking and is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to get on and off the vehicles with limited assistance and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Those will mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. There will be approximately 2 hours of desert driving in Bedouin-owned and operated off-road vehicles which are older and have no air-conditioning or seat belts. The ride can become bumpy and therefore, not suitable for pregnant women or those with back or neck injuries. Weather appropriate clothing (it can be cool in the Spring and Fall), a sun cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, a bottle of water, and flat, comfortable shoes are recommended.
