An excursion to Wadi Rum is an indispensable must-visit for everyone who is not alien to the eternal beauty of the world, untouched by the hands of man. Even here, they will find something for the climber - they can challenge the sheer walls of the Jabal Ram mountain.
Tours in Wadi Rum can be arranged from any resort in Jordan, but they are most popular from the nearest Aqaba, which is only an hour's drive from here. Actually, the territory of the valley can be inspected only from the "side" of the local jeep (so the transport will have to be changed).

The duration of the tour is half a day or a whole day from Aqaba and a full day from the Dead Sea resorts. And you can try on the image of a Bedouin and spend two days wandering around Wadi Rum on a camel's back, spending the night in a tent of "nomads."
