Highlights

From Wadi Rum you and your guide will first go by jeep to visit the Lawrence Spring. Then you will go to see the Map and afterward the Sand Dunes, which is a large area of sand dunes piled up against the mountains. It's fun to climb to the top and then race down. You'll have about half an hour in this area for climbing and exploring the dunes, and then you will go to see the Ancient Inscriptions. After viewing the inscriptions left by ancient trade caravans, you will travel to see the Lawrence's House followed by Burrah Canyon which is a long, deep canyon between dramatic mountains. It is very beautiful in the morning or late evening, when the sun turns the rock deep orange. Here you will have a Bedouin lunch with Bedouin tea. Then your guide will take you to see Burdah Canyon. From there, you will continue to the Um Frouth Rock Bridge and afterwards to the Small Arch. The next site you'll visit is Khazali canyon then a spectacular sunset. Finally we'll drive you back to Rum Village.

About Aqaba

Aqaba is Jordan's only seaport, a warm Red Sea resort town at the head of its gulf, backed by desert mountains and near Wadi Rum and Petra.

Aqaba sits at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, at the north end of the Red Sea, with the mountains of Edom behind it and Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia on the other shores of the gulf. Jordan's only seaport, it has been a trading place since ancient times, and an early Islamic city, Ayla, has excavated remains on the seafront. The fort near the harbour dates from the Mamluk period, and Aqaba fell to the forces of the Arab Revolt in 1917.
