Introduction

Wadi Rum is famous for three things: the spectacular desert scenery; the Bedouin tribe whose tents you can visit ; and as the background of the legendary Lawrence of Arabia -- whose footsteps you can  trace.

Wadi Rum is a Bedouin settlement in a valley with giant 2,000-foot desert cliffs, ancient valleys and towering weathered sandstone mountains that rise out of the white and pink colored sands. Stunning in its natural beauty, Wadi Rum, epitomizes the romance of the desert. Tucked away, remote and splendid in both landscape and culture.

Visit Wadi Rum with us by camel trek that starts from Petra crossing amazing landscape and several Beoduin tribes such as who lives around Beer Hamad (Hamad well.

Day by day tour itinerary

 

Day 1: Drive from Petra to Rajif – Camel Ride from Rajif Mountains to Beer Hamad

The king’s high way between the villages of Taybeh and Rajif affords a rare vista of steep sandstone inselbergs with sheer side cliffs, crowned with mazes of domes and little valleys. The inselbergs are dissected by narrow canyons which hide springs and groves of fruit trees. The route goes through several canyons and ascends the inselbergs of Jebel Juleif and Jebel Barza, both offering rewarding views. Ruins of a Nabatean village and an Edomite stronghold are found in the lower reaches of Wadi Tajra to Beer Hamad, which is a Bedouin Well surrounded by Bedouin Tents, where goats come at noon to drink water, we will have our campfire near the well, and spend the night by visiting some Bedouin families and have tea with them.

 

Day 2: Beer Hamad – Wadi Dhba’a

We will visit the site: Humeima was a remarkable Nebatean city with a sophisticated water supply system. This is the place to observe the famous Nabatean techniques for providing and conserving water in the desert. Among the ruins are at least 20 cisterns, and aqueduct that was fed by tow springs. Some of the water installations in Humeima are still used today by local Bedouin.
