Hotels near Wadi Rum
Aqaba Governorate, Jordan
Wadi Rum is the protected desert valley 90 minutes south of Petra - a UNESCO World Heritage Site of red sandstone mountains, granite cliffs, and Bedouin camps. T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) operated from here during the 1916-18 Arab Revolt, and the area has appeared in films including The Martian, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, and Dune. The desert is best experienced from a 4WD jeep with a Bedouin driver-guide.
Day trips from Petra 75-100 JOD per person including 4-5 hour jeep tour, lunch in the desert, and Bedouin tea. Standard stops include the Lawrence Spring, Khazali Canyon rock inscriptions, the natural Burdah Rock Arch, and a sunset viewpoint. Overnight Bedouin camps (200-400 JOD all-in) extend the experience with stargazing and traditional zarb (Bedouin pit oven cooking).
Pro Tip: The overnight Bedouin bubble tent stay at one of the Wadi Rum Night Luxury Camp (300-500 JOD) lets you watch the Milky Way through the transparent dome ceiling - the best stargazing experience in the Middle East. Book 2-3 weeks ahead in peak season.
