Experience a 5-day guided trekking expedition through the dramatic desert wilderness of Wadi Rum, designed for active travellers seeking remote landscapes, authentic Bedouin culture, and multi-day desert hiking with wild camping.
The journey starts with pickup from Amman in the morning and a scenic drive south through Jordan’s desert highways to Wadi Rum. Upon arrival, you will meet your local Bedouin trekking guides, who will support you throughout the entire experience. After a short briefing and preparation, the first afternoon hike begins with an easy introduction to the desert environment, walking through sandstone valleys, soft red dunes, and open panoramic viewpoints. The day ends with sunset views, traditional Bedouin tea, dinner prepared over an open fire, and your first overnight wild camping experience under the stars.
On day two, the trek continues deeper into remote desert terrain. You will hike through the spectacular Barrah Canyon region, known for its towering sandstone walls and ancient Bedouin trails. The route alternates between narrow canyon passages and wide open desert landscapes, offering constantly changing scenery. A freshly prepared lunch is served in the wilderness before continuing towards a remote camping area near the Burdah region, where you will spend another night wild camping in complete desert silence.
Day three is one of the highlights of the journey, featuring the famous Burdah Rock Bridge. The hike includes moderate to challenging sections with light scrambling, rewarded by panoramic views across the vast desert. The route then continues into the White Desert, where the landscape transforms into pale sandstone formations and open, surreal terrain. After a full day of trekking, you will enjoy dinner and another night of wild camping in a remote and peaceful setting.
On day four, the journey explores Jabal Al Hash and Khazali Canyon. Along the way, you will discover ancient Nabataean inscriptions, visit Lawrence Spring, and pass through scenic dunes, valleys, and viewpoints that highlight both the natural and cultural heritage of the region. In the afternoon, you leave the wild trekking route and transfer to a traditional desert camp inside Wadi Rum. Here you can rest comfortably, enjoy facilities such as showers, and relax before your final evening in the desert with a Bedouin dinner.
On the final day, enjoy breakfast at the camp before departing Wadi Rum and returning to Amman by vehicle. Arrival in Amman is expected in the afternoon, depending on road conditions and stops along the way. This marks the end of your journey, leaving you with a deep appreciation of desert life, Bedouin traditions, and the vast, untouched beauty of Wadi Rum.
