Description

Embark on an unforgettable desert adventure with our captivating camel tour! Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of the arid landscapes as you journey deep into the heart of the desert aboard these remarkable creatures.

Known for their unique adaptations, camels are perfectly suited to traverse the challenging terrain, making them the ultimate desert companions. Camels, with their specially designed feet, effortlessly navigate the sandy dunes without ever getting stuck. Their large, sturdy hooves are perfectly adapted to distribute weight and provide stability, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride for our guests. Even in the midst of sandstorms, these resilient animals remain steadfast, allowing you to explore the desert with peace of mind.

You'll witness the incredible bond between man and beast as our skilled handlers navigate through the vast expanses of sand, unveiling the secrets of the desert along the way.

Join us on our captivating camel tour and experience the enchantment of the desert like never before. You'll be immersed in the rich history, fascinating wildlife, and mesmerizing landscapes that define this extraordinary ecosystem. Whether you seek a thrilling adventure or a tranquil escape, our camel tour promises an unforgettable journey through the untamed beauty of the desert.

Book your camel tour today and let us take you on an extraordinary expedition, leaving footprints of memories that will last a lifetime. Discover the desert's hidden treasures and create an unforgettable experience with our renowned camel tour.

The camels we use in our tours are owned by other families from the village. Renting them is their main source of income. The camels are calm, kid-friendly, and well-trained. Please keep in mind that camels move slowly so you will only be able to visit 3-4 sites per day. Please also note that your camel guide may speak very little English.

Located halfway up an imposing mountain, Lawrence's Spring serves as a crucial water source for the Bedouins' livestock. Adventurers can bask in the awe-inspiring view of the desert plain from beneath a fig tree at the spring's summit. Alternatively, explore the foot of the mountain, where ancient Nabatean rock inscriptions offer glimpses into a forgotten past, and mingle with camels congregating around the watering hole. Lawrence's Spring captivates with its natural beauty, historical significance, and vibrant desert atmosphere.

Nestled within Jebel Khazali, the Khazali Canyon boasts awe-inspiring sheer cliffs that soar above the desert sands, rivalling the height of the Empire State Building. This natural wonder, shaped by millennia of elemental forces, offers a cool haven tucked between colossal monolithic rocks. Imagine Bedouin tents dotting the landscape, families finding respite, savouring tea, and children engrossed in play. The canyon walls bear witness to ancient history, adorned with an array of Nabatean, Islamic (Kufic), and Thamudic inscriptions, as well as petroglyph rock drawings, preserving tales from civilizations long past.

The nearby crimson sand dunes provide an exhilarating playground for those seeking adventure. While ascending can be a challenging endeavour, the effort is undoubtedly worth it as a breathtaking vista of shifting sand hues awaits. Take in the mesmerizing display before opting for an exciting descent—whether it's a thrilling run or a playful roll down the slope, the choice is yours. Unleash your inner explorer and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the red sand dunes.

Our journey leads us to a magnificent rock bridge, inviting you to scale its breathtaking and entirely natural formations. Though climbing entails some risks, particularly due to certain steep sections, the sandstone structure poses no major challenges, granting most adventurers an immensely enjoyable experience. Amidst the vast desert stretching endlessly into the horizon, seize this remarkable photo moment—stand atop the stone bridge, arms outstretched, and let your smile mirror the boundless expanse surrounding you. A wondrous opportunity awaits for unforgettable memories to be captured.

Concluding the tour, our camp awaits, offering a serene setting to unwind and indulge in an authentic Bedouin dinner. As the sun rises, savour a delightful breakfast at the camp before bidding farewell to the enchanting Wadi Rum village, carrying cherished memories of an unforgettable experience.

Before embarking on our desert adventure, you will be given a quick tutorial on how to mount and ride a camel. We will begin our journey from Rum village and make our way to the breathtaking Wadi Um Ishrin. As we venture through the magnificent landscape, we eventually reach the Al-Hasany dune. Here, we will pause our camel ride, allowing you to stretch your legs by climbing atop the dune. You can revel in the panoramic view before going back down. Once we are ready to continue, we will mount our camels, continuing towards Anfishiyyeh – an imposing rock wall adorned with ancient Thamudic and Nabatean engravings and drawings. We will take time to appreciate the incredible history and beauty of this location.

Finally, we ride to Khazali canyon, home to a unique collection of ancient inscriptions and refreshing waterholes.

Day 1 - The overnight stay

We offer two choices for your overnight accommodation: a tent at our camp or outdoor sleeping near our camp. Visit our accommodations page to find detailed information for each option.

After the sun sets, we will take you to our camp. You will get a brief introduction to the camp’s layout and operations, and we will show you to your tent or the outdoor sleeping area near the camp. 

We serve a traditional Bedouin dinner. After dinner, you are free to do what you please. Usually, our guests and guides sit together, and you can learn about Bedouin life, chat with others, or just marvel at the billions of stars and enjoy the peaceful desert silence.

Day 2 - In the morning

Make sure not to miss the chance to witness the magnificent sunrise.  Feel free to inquire about places to view the sunrise and its timings. We are always happy to assist you.

Breakfast is served at 7 AM, after which we pack up and head back to Rum village. You will arrive at our office between 8 and 8.30 AM for check-out. We bid you farewell and wish you a safe journey ahead.

Wadi Rum Camel Experiences

Camels were used for millennia as the primary form of transport linking Asia to Europe through the Middle East. In the past centuries shipping and trains have superseded this traditional form of transport. If you want to get a feel for how our world was linked and the mode of transport all intercontinental commerce used until recent times, Wadi Rum is the perfect location to experience this. Wadi Rum landscapes are iconic representations of the arabian peninsula as the junction of the three old world continents, and the are provides a safe, tourist friendly opportunity to gain an understanding of the region. Additionally the area which has received UNESCO World Heritage Listing for its natural beauty is one of the most memorable and picturesque landscapes to undertake this experience.

For multiday tours an additional camel is required for luggage and other equipment.

Camel transport is so significant in the imagery of trans asian trading routes, Lawrence of Arabia’s WW1 rebellion, and Nomadic lifestyle on the Arabian peninsula that it is number 3 on our list of best things to do in Wadi Rum!

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE OPTION TO TRAVEL BETWEEN THE CAMP AND WADI RUM VILLAGE. THIS GIVES AN AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE OF TRAVELLING BY CAMEL CARAVAN!

Camel Journey – Village to Camp

This is a one way journey available in both directions and creates a powerful experience of setting off with your camel into the desert, the serenity of the valley where the camp is located provides a perfect constrast to the busy spring on the edge of the village. Travelling either from the busy oasis surrounded by the camels and their handlers ad venturing into the gradually more isolated desert until you reach the camp or inversely setting off from the quiet valley where the camp is located and making your way back towards the busier spring.

We highly recommend this as the best experience for our guests who want to experience travelling by camel, and feel that it provides a much more authentic experience than the alternate round trip options. 

The tour does not include site visits and is intended to provide an experience of travelling through the arabian desert.

The journey between the camp and the oasis alongside the village is between 2 and 3 hours.

Includes camel and guide. 

Price from JOD40 p/p

Short Camel Rides

We offer customised short rides on camel back that allow guests to incorporate a camel ride into a limited time in Wadi Rum.

It is important to note that camels travel slowly and are not an efficient way of seeing the landmarks of the protected area on a regular tourist itineary. These camel rides are rather intended to be a supplementary experience to a 4×4 tour which allows guests to visit the landmarks that are spread across the large Protected Area.

1 hour from JOD15 p/p

2 hours from JOD25 p/p

Half Day from JOD40 p/p

*tours of half day or less do not include meals

Full Day Camel Tour

Camels travel slowly, they are extremely efficient at travelling long distrances, however they move in a slow methodic way and therefore only cover short distances in a day. Muslims from the North-West of Africa travelled months round trip to complete the Haj with their camel caravans. We recommend to our guests 4×4 tours to efficiently see a large number of attractions during a short visit to Wadi Rum, however if you are comfortable to see fewer locations and cover less distance we have tours that offer camel back sightseeing in the protected area for 1 or more days

The 1 day tour incorporates a variety of landmark stops that are nearby on the journey between the camp and the village and are accessible by camel within this timeframe:

• Lawrence Spring (a year round water source in the valley)
• Khazali Canyon (including pre-christ Nabatean rock art)
• Red Sand Dune
• Khor al Ajram rock arch (natural rock bridge)

Includes: c amels, saddle and riding equipment, lunch and  local Bedouin camel handler and guide.

Options:  This can be packaged with accommodation and other tours

Price from JOD60 p/p

*minimum 2 people

*price includes a simple packed lunch, guests have the option to upgrade to a traditional Qalih campfire cooked lunch for an additional JOD5 p/p

Multi-day Camel Tour

We offer customised multi-day camel tours for days ranging from 2 to 5 days. These itineraries that travel through the Wadi Rum Protected Area visit major attractions along their routes and on the longer journeys stay with the still nomadic herding families living within the Protected Area. The primary objective of these experiences is to provide an opportunity for guests to travel back in time and experience the lifestyle that was prevelant in the region up until the previous century.

These are amazingly unique experiences for guests to travel through the desert on camelback for several days and experience the one time commonplace transport of the Middle East and Central Asia. Each day will revolve around the preparation of the group for transport. Mornings will begin with breakfast followed by preparation and loading of the camels, the group will ride until the heat of the day will force an intermission where camels will be rested and rehydrated while the bedouin and guests will likewise rest, share tea, social and take lunch until the peak heat of the day passes.

Following this the second half of the travel will continue, until dusk where camp will be prepared each night. Various locations and experiences will form the itinerary and depend on the length of the journey but these experiences are primarily intended to allow guests to gain an understanding and appreciation for the camel caravans that were integral to world trade for the past millenia. 

• Camping and sleeping equipment
• C amels, saddle and riding equipment
• L ocal Bedouin camel handler and guide

Price from JOD70* per riding day p/p

plus JOD30* per overnight p/p

*minimum 2 people required for multiday tours
