Wadi Rum is a beautiful desert in Southern Jordan. There is a sea of rolling dunes, and dramatic sandstone and basalt mountains jutting out of its sandy floor. A guided Jeep tour of the area is the best option for maximizing your time, which will give you views of the terrain, and make stops to allow you to scramble up a sand dune and look at petroglyphs. We also enjoyed a "camel safari" retracing Lawrence of Arabia's journey through the desert, and having lunch at a Bedouin camp.

The luxury camp was amazing. The inside of the tent was beautiful and luxurious. The food at the dining tent was incredible. The truck ride to the camp scary but exciting. The staff was helpful and very friendly . I would highly recommend it .

Welcome to your home in the desert! Famous for it's towering mountains and pink sands, Wadi Rum is a desert unlike any other in the world. It's home to a range of wildlife, historic sites, hiking and climbing trails, and of course, the local Bedouin who until recently led nomadic lives in the desert with their goat herds. The Bedouins are famous for their hospitality, resourcefulness and connection with the natural world. You can choose to stay in a traditional goat-hair tent, or sleep out under the starry night sky in the desert. There are many ways to explore Wadi Rum, including jeep, camel and hiking tours. We're very excited to show you around this beautiful desert that we're lucky enough to call home!

Our safari guide took us on an incredibly beautiful area: Khazali canyon. It is a 100 narrow area with petroglyphs depicting humans( even women giving birth) and animals and Islamic,Talmudic and Nabatean inscriptions. Our guide -Abdel Karim- even if he was very young was very professional and well informed. Wear comfortable sport shoes since the path is very narrow.

The South Beach is located at a short drive from downtown Aqaba and is well worth the drive. One can clearly see parts of Israel and Egypt behind the Red Sea from the South Beach. The South Beach offers opportunities for snorkeling to see the beautiful coral reefs under the Red Sea. Those who are not into snorkeling can find some glass bottom boats or submarine boat to view the coral reefs. Indeed South Beach is an awesome place to visit.

Berenice Beach provides a good opportunity to see the Red Sea corals that are close to the beach. You can also swim to the Japanese Gardens that is a few hundred metres out, to snorkel the area. Berenice Beach provides changing rooms, showers, towel, pools and restaurants that are all included in the entry price. Unlike the Dead Sea hotels that provide expensive access to the beach with restricted facilities, access to the Berenice Beach is reasonable.

This spring was named for T.E. Lawrence, of Lawrence of Arabia fame, who fought in the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire.

Good hiking spot to witness the origin of the spring.. big tree and closer. Mind your steps since some places are slippery and also has boulders.
