What can you see in Wadi Rum?

This full-day Jeep tour of Wadi Rum covers many of the most famous desert sites. Here are some of the places you can expect to visit during the tour:

The Nabataean temple in Wadi Rum was dedicated to the goddess Al-Lat and was discovered in 1930. The site was severely damaged in 1970-1985 and only the remains of the basic sandstone blocks, carefully crafted, are visible. Thamudic inscriptions refer to the construction of temples in the first century AD in honor of Al-Lat. Later Latin inscriptions from the 3rd century AD show that the temple was still in use by the Romans long after their annexation.

The ancient Nabataean temple displays rich human history, highlighting a civilization dating back two thousand years. It is easy to imagine a once-great people buried beneath your feet. The ruins themselves blend modestly into the yellow sands here. They appear in inverted columns and pools etched into the shadow of a mighty mountain.

  • Red sand dunes

The red sand dunes are a popular and distinctive destination for visitors who want to experience the beauty of the desert. The sand dunes are a stunning red color and provide an excellent photography opportunity.

  • Small rock bridge

The Little Rock Bridge, a natural rock arch spanning the mountain, provides stunning views of the surrounding desert.

  • Lawrence House

Wadi Abu Khashaba is one of the canyons in the Wadi Rum desert that is worth a visit. This sandy valley is strikingly red and yellow with desert shrubs and trees, the most important of which is the wild fig. It has an hourglass shape with a narrow midsection. To get to this section, you have to easily climb up some rocks. The mountainsides look like a work of art. Over time, the beautiful shapes were formed by the wind and rain. In some of them you can recognize animal shapes and faces. The enjoyable trip through the valley on foot takes about 30 minutes from the direction of the first landing to the other direction of the valley, where the jeep will be waiting for you to continue the tour.
