About Wadi Rum
Wadi Rum is a protected area covering 720 square kilometers of dramatic desert in the Al 'Aqabah region. Its history spans millennia, with evidence of human habitation dating back 12,000 years, from prehistoric hunters to the Nabateans who left their intricate rock carvings in places like Khazali Canyon. The area is most famously linked to the Arab Revolt of 1917-1918 and the British officer T.E. Lawrence, who used it as a base. Today, Wadi Rum is the ancestral home of several Bedouin tribes, notably the Zalabiah, who manage most tourism. The 'city' is essentially the Wadi Rum Village, a small settlement at the desert's edge that serves as the gateway, where guides and jeeps are arranged. The rest is an open expanse of distinct districts defined by natural features: the red sand dunes near the village, the towering cliffs of Jebel Um Ishrin, the iconic Burdah and Um Fruth rock bridges, and the wide, open plains like the Seven Pillars of Wisdom area. It is famous for its breathtaking geology, star-gazing, and authentic Bedouin hospitality.
Best Time to Visit Wadi Rum
The ideal time to visit Wadi Rum is during the shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, daytime temperatures are pleasantly warm, perfect for hiking and jeep tours, while nights are cool and comfortable for sleeping in desert camps. Spring brings occasional, brief wildflowers, enhancing the stark beauty. Summer (June to August) is the peak tourist season due to school holidays, but it is intensely hot, with daytime temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), making extensive outdoor activity challenging; visits are best confined to early morning and late afternoon. Winter (December to February) is the off-peak season, with cold days and very cold nights, sometimes dropping below freezing, but offering crisp, clear skies. Rainfall is rare but possible. There are no major urban festivals, but cultural experiences like traditional Bedouin music and storytelling are offered year-round at the camps.
Where to Stay in Wadi Rum
The small permanent settlement at the desert entrance. This is the logistical hub where you meet guides, arrange jeeps, and find the Visitor Center. It's not for staying, but for organizing your desert adventure.
Camps located within a short drive of the village, often near the Red Sand Dunes. Offers easy access and great views of the closest dunes and mountains. A popular area for first-time visitors.

Named for its paler, khaki-colored sands and distinct rock formations. Offers a different aesthetic from the iconic red sands and tends to be less crowded, providing a unique perspective.
A historic zone with easier terrain and significant sites like the spring and Nabatean inscriptions. Camps here are well-positioned for classic tour routes and shorter hikes.
