Activity itinerary

Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Discover some of the top attractions in the Wadi Rum Desert on this private 4x4 comfortable jeep tour. The Seven Pillars of Wisdom rise from the desert like a stone poem — seven towering ridges shaped by centuries of wind and time. Immortalized by T.E. Lawrence, they stand as a gateway into Wadi Rum’s stories, where history and legend meet beneath the desert sun.

Red Sand Dune - Al Ramal

The Red Sand Dune, also known as Al Ramal or Al Hasany in Arabic, is one of the most famous dunes in the Wadi Rum desert. It's striking red color comes from a high concentration of iron oxide in the sand particles. Challenging to climb but at the top you can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the valley. This area is known as key filming location of famous Martian movie

Lawrence's House

You will visit Lawrence’s House — a stone structure built atop ancient Nabataean ruins of a water cistern. Legend says T.E. Lawrence stayed here during the Arab Revolt. Its weathered walls still hold the echoes of rebellion, friendship, and desert nights.

Wadi Rum Protected Area

In the shadow of the desert rock, learn the secrets of preparing a traditional Bedouin meal. Savor a fresh, hearty lunch in the midday stillness, with endless desert views unfolding before you. Later, we’ll walk to see ancient Nabatean inscriptions carved into Wadi Rum’s stone. The Nabateans — an Arab nomadic tribe who settled in Jordan and beyond (4th century BC – 106 AD) — were master water engineers and skilled traders. For centuries, they navigated these vast lands by reading maps encrypted in the rocks, leaving behind messages that still speak to those who listen.

Um Frouth Rock Arch

You will climb the Um Fruth Rock Bridge, one of Wadi Rum’s most iconic landmarks — a natural arch sculpted by wind and water over countless centuries. Rising about 15 meters above the desert floor, it feels like an elevated walkway between earth and sky, offering breathtaking views in every direction.

Mushroom Rock

Among Wadi Rum’s many strange and beautiful rock formations stands Mushroom Rock — a natural sculpture shaped by wind and time. Perched alone on a red rock plateau and surrounded by waves of crimson sand, it is one of the desert’s most photographed wonders.

Canyons of Um Ishrin - Wadi Rum

You will explore Al Burrah Canyon, one of the most visited of the many canyons that weave through Wadi Rum. This 5 km corridor of towering rock cuts deep into the mountains, offering space for hiking, camel trekking, climbing, or simply resting in the cool shade. Here, in the desert’s hidden heartland, the air feels still and time moves differently.

Wadi Rum Protected Area

At our family’s Wadi Rum Desert Secret Camp: - Learn to set up a Bedouin kitchen in the open desert and cook a traditional meal for lunch. - Meet and gently pet our camels and goats. - Hike a nearby mountain to watch the sun rise or set over endless sand and stone. - For dinner, choose between a barbecue under the stars or a classic Bedouin meal in camp. - Sip sweet Bedouin tea around the campfire while we share stories of our life — history, religion, customs, weddings, family, pastoral traditions, and the desert’s healing plants. - Enjoy stargazing and quiet moments beneath the desert sky. - Sleep under the stars or in a private tent with Western-style bathroom facilities. - Wake to the smell of fresh coffee and homemade breakfast before we escort you back to the Wadi Rum Visitor Centre. At Wadi Rum Desert Secret Camp, we aim to offer more than just a place to sleep—we want you to feel part of our family and carry the peace and magic of the desert with you when you leave
