Private Full Day Trip to Wadi Rum Valley of Moon Martian Desert from Amman

After pickup from your central Amman hotel, set off on your private, full-day tour by comfortable, air-conditioned minivan.

Enjoy the views as you travel southward through Jordan’s desert landscapes toward Wadi Rum. Extending across a huge chunk of south Jordan, this protected valley boasts towering sandstone mountains, craggy river beds and steep gorges, all coated in a kaleidoscope of natural rock colors, from pinks to vivid reds.

On route, hear stories of the wadi’s links with TE Lawrence, perhaps better known as ‘Lawrence of Arabia.’ During WWI, this British officer and archaeologist fought here alongside the Bedouin Arabs against the Ottoman Turks, basing his headquarters in the valley. Many wadi sites are named after this still-revered British soldier.

After roughly four hours, arrive at the wadi entrance, and enjoy a 2-hour tour by 4x4, with a Bedouin driver at the wheel.

Have your camera ready as you pass through narrow gorges and plains framed by natural rock arches, towering buttes, ancient caves and red dunes. Stop at some of the most enchanting viewpoints, including the tumbling waters at Lawrence’s Spring, rocks etched with ancient inscriptions, water holes and more.  

Take time out for lunch (own expense) and, if you wish, upgrade to include 30-minute camel ride to make your visit extra special. Plus, visit a Bedouin tent to meet the friendly locals and enjoy a glass of refreshing mint tea.

When the time comes, reconvene with your driver and relax on your ride back to Amman, where your day trip finishes back at your hotel.

The visit of Wadi Rum is an extraordinary experience. Wadi Rum, located south of Amman, where the movie The Martian and Star Wars were filmed, is a uniquely shaped massive mountain that rose amongst the rosy red sand of the desert with towering cliffs, just like walking on the moon. Experience the extraordinary beauty of Wadi Rum by 4x4 local jeep tour on this private full-day trip from Amman. Travel by private, air-conditioned vehicle to the protected desert valley and tour its spectacular beauty spots. Trundle through narrow gorges and desert plains past crimson dunes, natural rock bridges and towers; and view ancient inscriptions and Lawrence’s Spring, a hidden oasis made famous by T.E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia, like the movie also filmed here. Upgrade to include a camel ride and /or additional 2 hours jeep visit, and during your explorations, visit a Bedouin tent to enjoy a refreshing mint tea.
