Best Time to Visit
March to May and September to November · March – May • September – November
You know when people say a place looks exactly like Mars? Well, Wadi Rum actually does. It's just endless red sand and massive rock formations shooting up out of nowhere. Planning a trip here can feel confusing at first, especially if you're coming down from the capital. But finding good wadi rum tours from Amman is easier than you'd think. Most people spend a night or two sleeping in a desert camp. And yes, you really do get to see the Milky Way if you step away from the fire. It's totally worth the hype.

The best time to visit Wadi Rum is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the daytime temperatures are comfortable, hovering around 20-25°C (68-77°F), making it perfect for jeep tours and hiking. Summer (June to August) gets brutally hot, often exceeding 40°C, and winter (December to February) can be freezing at night. If you go in spring, you'll also get to see beautiful desert wildflowers blooming!
From Amman, the easiest way is taking the daily JETT bus, which departs early morning, takes about 4 hours, and costs around 20 JOD ($28 USD). From Aqaba, it's a much shorter trip—only about an hour. You can take a local minibus from the Aqaba bus station for about 3-5 JOD, or hire a private taxi for roughly 25-30 JOD. All vehicles drop you at the Wadi Rum Visitor Center, where you'll pay the 5 JOD entrance fee (or show your Jordan Pass) and meet your camp host.
You absolutely have to stay in a desert camp! They range from basic Bedouin tents to ultra-luxurious 'Martian' glass domes. Budget camps cost around 15-30 JOD per night and usually include shared bathrooms and a simple bed. Mid-range to luxury domes (like the famous Sun City Camp or Memories Aicha) can cost anywhere from 150 to 300+ JOD per night, offering private bathrooms, AC, and stunning stargazing right from your bed. Most stays include breakfast and a traditional dinner.
Since there are no paved roads inside the protected area, you can't use a regular rental car. You'll need to book a 4x4 jeep tour with a local Bedouin guide. You can arrange this through your camp or at the Visitor Center. A typical half-day jeep tour costs around 35-50 JOD per vehicle, while a full day might be 70-80 JOD. Alternatively, you can book a camel ride for short distances, which usually costs about 15 JOD per hour.
You can't leave Wadi Rum without trying 'Zarb'! It's a traditional Bedouin barbecue where lamb, chicken, and vegetables are slow-cooked for hours in an underground oven covered with sand. The meat comes out incredibly tender and smoky. Almost all desert camps serve this for dinner. You’ll also be offered endless cups of Bedouin tea, which is black tea brewed with sage, cardamom, and plenty of sugar. It’s a great way to experience the legendary local hospitality!
