This Wadi Rum jeep tour from Aqaba is a 4×4 excursion into Jordan’s red desert, the “Valley of the Moon”. A Bedouin driver takes you among sandstone mountains, natural arches and ancient rock inscriptions, with a stop for tea at a Bedouin camp. Transport and the jeep tour are included, from $70 per person.
Wadi Rum is about 60 km from Aqaba, roughly an hour by road, which makes this the easiest desert excursion on a short port call. Bring sunglasses and a light layer: the desert can be windy and cooler than the coast.
