About this experience
The desert and the sea in one short trip. We drive from Aqaba to Wadi Rum (about an hour) for a 4-hour jeep tour through red dunes, narrow canyons and rock bridges, watch the sunset from the rocks and sleep in a comfortable Bedouin camp after a zarb dinner cooked under the sand.
The next morning we return to Aqaba for the city's highlights – the Mamluk fort, the ruins of Islamic Ayla and the great flagpole – and an hour on a glass-bottom boat over the coral, with free time at the beach before your drop-off.
