Itinerary
Jabal Umm Ad Dani - After pickup in Wadi Rum Village or Visitor Center, we will travel with our guide into the highest mountain in Jordan close to the Saudi Arabia border, at 1832 m. This journey to Jebal umm ad Dami will take one hour or approximately 40 km from the pick-up point. This is a magnificent drive through the valley of wadi rum and crossing the beautiful lovely wadi saabit. At Jabel um ad Dami, you'll have a guided hike to the top and then a rest which usually takes around 4 hours. At the rest, our guide will also start cooking your lunch while having a dessert picnic in a nice secluded area.
White Desert - The second sightseeing stop will be on the way back from the hike, known as White desert, which has vast views across the desert, with flatter formations and wider valleys. We will take you to visit Qatar spring, Bedouin dam, wadi nugra and some short hike in the white desert
Um Sabatah - At sunset, Wadi Rum pinnacles and canyons come alive in vivid golden and reds color. Experience these surreal landscapes and capture the golden hours while we were preparing to serve you a hot Bedouin tea on the fire before returning back to the camp
Overnight - Once the sunset ends, we will go back to the camp where you could wander around or relax in front of a bonfire with a cup of traditional homemade tea before indulging in a Bedouin dinner cooked under sand. After dinner, we will continue to sit in front of the bonfire while watching starry skies, sharing old stories and jokes. When ready, head to your bedouin camp for a cozy night in the desert. It is a peaceful place surrounded by thousands of stars in the night. In the morning, breakfast is served before you are transferred back to Wadi Rum Village where your tour ends.

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.
