Description

Benefit from pick-up at the location of your choice in Aqaba and journey to Wadi Rum in the Jordanian Desert for a (self-guided) 2-hour Jeep Tour with your private English speaking driver through a landscape described by T. E. Lawrence as “vast, echoing and God-like.” Discover why the locals call it the “Valley of the Moon.” Venture through breathtaking scenery littered with history, and discover a timeless place that has been left virtually untouched by humanity and its destructive forces. Marvel at how the weather and winds have carved a maze of monolithic rockscapes rising up from the desert floor to heights of up to 5,740 feet (1,750 meters). A challenge for serious mountaineers, the mountains also offer hikers complete tranquility in the boundless empty spaces. Explore the canyons and water holes to discover 4,000-year-old rock drawings and other treasures of the wilderness before the journey back to your hotel or drop off location of your choice in Aqaba.
