Overview

Mobile ticket
If you like hidden gems, this is the right tour for you! The focus of this tour is the hike up to Al Hash (1700 m), but we will also show you more of Wadi Rum's rich history and culture, like ancient Bedouin caves and a Bedouin Dam.
On a breathtaking drive we leave the red sands as we enter the white desert towards the remote Wadi Sabet, a valley close to the Saudi Arabia border. Now the real hike can begin. First some scrambling, and then a long hike surrounded by impressive large mountains, you will be amazed by the plants and fossils you’ll see. At the top you will be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views, the serenity of the Wadi Sabet valley you overlook is superb.
At the top of the mountain we drink Bedouin tea, and back down we prepare a delicious Traditional lunch. We end the day at Um Sabatah, the best place for a magical sunset.
OVERNIGHT
To get the full Wadi Rum experience you can add a night in our Bedouin camp, or sleep outside in the cave, under the stars.

Fantastic Experience

5.00We had a great experience with Wadi Rum Desert Dreams. We organised the tour a couple of days in advance and they were happy to do a customised tour for us (we chose not to eat lunch in order to have more time exploring). Atay, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable and he was happy to tweak the tour when we said we'd like to do some more walking after the Al Hash hike, this flexibility is really appreciated. We would highly recommend Bakhir and the team.

5.00We spent three days and three nights in Wadi Rum with Bakhir. It was wonderful, special and unique and we can only recommend him, his camp and his guides. I wouldn't want to miss a second of this time. The jeep tour, the hike to al Hash, the camel ride and of course the wonderful finale, the last night in the cave. Everything was perfect and a unique experience!

5.00Everyone was amazing and so nice. This group of people gave us an amazing adventure that was once in a lifetime. We saw roaming camels and beautiful landscape. As well as had amazing food. 11/10. If you are questioning whether or not you should do it. I would highly recommend. It is a full day of fun, hiking (it is pretty intense at times but you can take your time or wait at the bottom) I would do it again.
Great experience in the desert.
