Wadi Rum Small-Group Jeep Tour with Lunch and Sandboarding

A 9 to 10 hour jeep tour in Wadi Rum with camel ride, sandboarding, lunch, and included transfers.

Getting started

You begin at the designated meeting point inside Wadi Rum, where your English-speaking guide and driver welcome you aboard an open-air jeep. If you are staying at Memories Aicha Luxury Camp, pickup and drop-off at the camp are included, so you join the group directly from there. Once everyone is on board, the jeep heads into the protected area to start your full-day exploration.

Jeep touring and desert activities

What to expect

The 9 to 10 hour jeep tour in Wadi Rum focuses on the backcountry, following tracks that local Bedouin guides use to reach more remote parts of the valley. Across the day you stop at several viewpoints and open sand areas, including a sunset viewpoint, with time to walk, take photos, and experience the red desert landscape up close.

Features

• Travel between sites in an open-air jeep, with transportation to all sites handled by your English-speaking guide and driver.
• Try sandboarding on suitable dunes, using the provided board to slide down the sand slopes.
• Hydrate throughout the day with unlimited bottled water and Bedouin tea served during stops.

Camel ride and midday break

What to expect

Around one of the central stops, the focus shifts from the jeep to a slower, traditional way of moving through the desert. The camel ride gives you time away from the vehicle to experience the rhythm of travel that has shaped life in Wadi Rum for generations, before you regroup for your meal.

Features

• Join a camel ride along a set route, riding in convoy at a relaxed pace that lets you feel the scale of the surrounding cliffs and sands.
• If camel ride is selected under your reservation, all arrangements for the camel and handler are included in your tour logistics.
• Pause the activity for lunch, which is provided as part of the experience so you do not need to arrange your own meal in the desert.

Lunch and sunset viewpoint

What to expect

As the day progresses, the itinerary builds toward the sunset viewpoint. Before that, you stop for lunch and a longer rest, then continue by jeep so you reach a vantage point in time to watch the light change over the rock formations.

Features

• Eat the included lunch during a scheduled stop, giving you time off the jeep to relax and refuel before the afternoon segment.
• Visit a sunset viewpoint where you can watch the sun drop toward the horizon and see the colors of Wadi Rum shift in the late-day light.
• Enjoy more bottled water and tea at appropriate breaks, keeping drinks covered by the tour.

Wrapping up

After sunset, the jeep returns you to your starting location. Drop-off at the designated meeting point in Wadi Rum or at Memories Aicha Luxury Camp is included, so you finish the day-long safari without arranging separate transport back.
