Wadi Rum: Half-Day Jeep Tour with Overnight Stay

Perfect 4 days trip

We did 4 days tour, wadi rum, Petra and Aqaba. Mohamad from Echo tours took care of all. He did it perfect, recommended places to eat and shop and was available to all of our questions.

Fantastic adventure from global odyssey on cruise ship

Nizar was our guide and as a native he knew Wadi Rum extremely well. Our tour was everything we expected and more—a memorable day—challenging and a rewarding learning experience.

I’ve visited places all over the world and this will stay as a favorite. The Sands, formations, freedom of the desert, warmth then coolness as the sun sets is magnificent.

Highly recommend this tour. My only caution is that you realize you are experiencing another culture so don’t expect a limo to pick you up—“Air” conditioned means “air!” Dress appropriately and you should be fine with the heat. Bring lots of water as the desert air dries your throat fast.

This is a UNESCO SITE not to be missed is you are fit and ready for an adventure.

P.S.: our guide made a quick stop at the visitor center prior to entry for restrooms, snacks, or water. Also, here is where you can get a great shot of the seven pillars of wisdom.

Excellent customer service and experience

We had a brilliant trip into the Wadi Rum to see the sites including the sunset. Everything was organised for us so we didn't have to worry about anything and at a reasonable price. The driver was timely and professional and gave us a history of the Wadi Rum on the way. Highly recommend using this group.

You should stay overnight in Wadi Rum

Definitely. We’re glad that we went at all—it was a last minute decision. Their office was located very near our hotel which was convenient. They answered our questions (we had a gazillion) and personalized the tour. Our one regret is that we didn’t stay overnight. (Stay overnight in Wadi Rum. I’m not the boss of you or anything but, truly. The sunset against the backdrop of the other-worldly landscape would be worth it.)

We opted for a two-hour trip (instead of the six because of time constraints—we had a bus to catch) we would have liked to see more. Some of the anecdotal pieces of information shared by our guide were interesting but repetitive and I just wanted to run around in the sand and take pictures of a caravan of camels silhouetted against the sky.

I received no less than three marriage proposals in Wadi Rum. They offered my husband his own caravan of camels (in varying quantities) for my delightfulness. Just thought I’d bring that up—for no particular reason other than it’s likely going to be part of your Wadi Rum experience as well. Lol.

I still vote that you stay overnight.

There are numerous options for all price ranges and they happily sync what you’d like to happen with what they have to offer.

Definitely recommend going through them.

Fun in Wadi Rum

We had a great time on the jeep tour with Najy. We learned a lot about the desert and bedouine way of life, plus it was way more fun than we expected.

Great place and very good service

We had a tour in Wadi Rum desert during our stay in Aqaba,
It as been a great experience, my sons enjoyed it a lot.
The desert is outstanding with his colors and Mars landscape.
The drive was a litte late at pick up while the guide at the desert was good and nice.
