Wadi Rum is Jordan’s most extraordinary desert, where towering sandstone cliffs, red sand dunes, and Bedouin heritage create an unforgettable adventure. This guide covers everything to do in Wadi Rum, from jeep tours and camel rides to stargazing, hot air balloons, and camping under the stars. Whether you're travelling from Amman, Petra, or Aqaba, learn how to get there, where to stay, and why Wadi Rum is a must-see on every Jordan itinerary.
If ever there was an ‘Am I Still on Planet Earth?’ sort of a desert, it’s Wadi Rum. Mention Jordan to 20-to-30-something adventurers, and many will tell you that the country begins and ends right here.
I’ve just returned from Egypt, and I wanted to tell you a little bit about my tour. Although I have travelled to Egypt several times before, this was my first time since I started working for Egypt Uncovered. I joined the Nile Explorer tour on the 23rd May and what a great time I had!
After selling Jordan tours for many years and having to cancel 2 previous trips, I finally made it to Jordan this year and it was definitely worth the wait!
Having worked in the UK reservations office for the last 4 months and from my training and research into this tour I thought that I knew all there was to know about the itinerary and what to expect. What I didn’t count on and what made my experience surprising and exceptional were the people I encountered.
Egypt was a milestone for me in many ways. It was the 10th country that I have explored and my first time in the continent of Africa.
