Preparing for your Wadi Rum tour is simple, but bringing the right personal items will make your desert experience more comfortable. Wadi Rum is a natural desert area with strong sun, dry air, open landscapes, and simple camp conditions.

During your tour, we provide drinking water, meals, and the basic equipment needed for camping or an overnight stay. You only need to bring a few useful items for the day, the evening, and your time at the camp.

What to Bring During the Day

Sun Protection

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. The desert sun can be strong during the day.
