Overview
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.

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.
