Visiting Wadi Rum With a four wheel drive. Wadi Rum by jeep in one day ("a day with the Bedouin")
This is the fence protecting the oryx in their blind valley.
We start in the village and drive first to Lawrence's Spring and then to the sand dunes in Wadi Um Ishrin where you can also see some Nabatean inscriptions. We continue, visiting "Lawrence's House" from where there are some great views, and then to the Barragh Canyon. Here we have lunch. In the afternoon we drive to where we have a view up the mountain of the bridge on Jebel Burdah, and then to Um Fruth Bridge and Khazali Canyon.
From there to the "sunset place" to watch the sunset and to appreciate the beauty of the changing colours of the landscape. Here we have supper, enjoy the evening and the stars and stay to sleep.

Some people ask if it is possible to do this trip in two half days, that is arriving in the afternoon and doing much of the tour the next morning. We would like to do as you ask, but please understand that this effectively blocks a guide and a car for two days instead of one. If you really need this schedule we will do it for you, but adding 5 JD/person to the prices . It would be nice if you could avoid this during the "high season" periods of April and September/October.
Starting time: we usually like to move out for this programme at about 9.30 am. A number of people are in Wadi Rum before this, either because they have slept here, or because they have come with an early bus. In the latter case we meet these people and bring them to Rum Village where they can have breakfast or just drink tea at the Resthouse or look in at the local shops. Those who wish can take a self guided hike to Wadi Shelaala. This is just above the Resthouse. It is a beautiful place, shaded from the sun during the day and with a panoramic view over the village. Here you can see the dripping well, exactly as it is described in the "Seven Pillars of Wisdom"; the water flows out from it and the air smells sweetly from a plant growing there. The path is very easy. Most people take 30/40 minutes to go up and come down again, but many of you linger here a short while before returning to the Resthouse where we shall pick everybody up at 9.30 am to start the tour.
