Why this trip
Red rock, sand and silence: in Wadi Rum every step feels like vastness. The Wadi Rum Protected Area serves as the backdrop of Lawrence of Arabia, and here you hike between high rock walls. The Jebel Khazali and the Khazali Canyon are destinations where you climb and walk through narrow cracks. The desert forgives no haste: anyone who walks slowly and drinks regularly safely reaches distant goals too.
If you want to spend the night in the desert, you can consider a Wadi Rum Cave Camping or offers from the Wadi Rum Nomads. Excursions in the terrain demand water reserves, sun protection and sturdy shoes. At midday there is a pause, because the heat slows every route. The best months are March to May and October to November.
Aqaba, Petra and Amman lie close as neighbours and together form a classic Jordan route. Petra complements Wadi Rum with steps and rock paths, for which you likewise need fitness. How much walking time per day suits you is something you clarify beforehand with Adventure in the video call.
