What You Will Do
"Rum the magnificent vast… echoing and Godlike" Lawrence of Arabia
The most spectacular desert scenery in the Middle East, Wadi Rum is located in the south of Jordan. Dramatic beauty of wonderful sand stone mountains with different colours, from white to pink and even red, will provide that unique experience of ideal sites for trekking, combined with local Bedouin experience of travelling and camping. The high red sand dunes, narrow canyons, low valleys and a high mountain were created by hundred million years of erosion and volcanic activities. Wadi Rum is the home of Bedouins, the soul of the Jordanian culture, who have lived there for hundred years continually preserving the same values and traditions of many nomadic Arabian tribes.
Jordan Echo Tours invite you to live that great experience by special tours run all the year long.
