Wadi Rum Jeep Tours – 4×4 Desert Safari in Jordan

A Wadi Rum jeep tour is a guided 4×4 trip through Jordan’s famous desert valley, visiting viewpoints, rock bridges, canyons and red sand dunes with a local Bedouin driver. Tours usually last 2, 4 or 8 hours and include photo stops, short walks and Bedouin tea in the desert.

Wadi Rum is a natural tourist valley located in southern Jordan, 250 kilometers south of the capital, Amman, and 70 kilometers north of the coastal city of Aqaba, near the Jordanian-Saudi border. It is also called the “Valley of the Moon” due to its terrain resembling the moon. In 2011, UNESCO listed the Wadi Rum Reserve as a World Heritage Site.

Whether you’re planning a full adventure through Wadi Rum’s top attractions and rich Bedouin heritage, or just looking for a quick tour of the must-see spots — we have the ideal Jeep tour to match your schedule.
