Name the Wadi Rum Camp on the Request: 3.5–5 Hours from Queen Alia
The road to Wadi Rum is 3.5 to 5 hours. The drop-off is the camp or the visitor point you were told to use, not the desert as a whole.
Jordan Airport Transfer3 min
Name the Wadi Rum camp on the request. From the airport the road is about 300 to 320 km and takes roughly 3.5 to 5 hours, and the car stops at the camp, the lodge or the visitor point you were told to use. Wadi Rum alone is the desert, not a stop.
| Kind of camp | What to write |
|---|---|
| Camp that collects guests from the visitor area | The visitor area, and the camp name in the notes |
| Camp close to the paved road | The camp name and the road point it gave you |
| Camp deep in the desert | The point where the camp vehicle meets guests |
Camp and visitor area are different places
Many camps are off the paved road, and some send their own vehicle for the last stretch of desert track. Ask your camp where it meets guests and write the same point in the request, so the airport car and the camp vehicle meet. If the camp sent only a pin, paste the camp name in the destination and put the pin in the notes.
Ask the camp before you travel
- Where do you meet guests, and at what time?
- Is the last stretch by your vehicle?
- What time are check-in and dinner?
- What should I bring for the night?
Desert nights can be cold outside summer, so keep a warm layer in the hand luggage. Send the camp the same flight number and arrival time you send us.
A second stop in Aqaba or Petra
Aqaba is another destination, not a note on the Wadi Rum request: Wadi Rum and Aqaba explains the split. Petra lies on the road south and can be a stop if you write it in the notes.
Rest stops on a long road
The road south is long and passes few towns, so plan fuel and meals. Tell us in the request if you want a stop at a particular place or if a child or an older traveller needs more frequent breaks. Agreeing the stops before the car leaves the airport avoids surprises on the way.
If you reach the camp after dark
A midday landing puts you near the camp at dusk. Ask the camp whether the last stretch of track is driven at night and whether someone will meet you at the visitor point. Keep the camp’s phone number on your phone, and send it with the request if the camp asked you to.
What to send
Use the Wadi Rum transfer page: the camp name or visitor point, the meeting point the camp gave you, the flight number, the landing time, how many people and bags. The route guide is Amman Airport to Wadi Rum.

What if the camp sent only a pin?
Paste the camp name in the destination and put the pin in the notes. The reply confirms the stop.
How long is the drive from Queen Alia to Wadi Rum?
About 3.5 to 5 hours for roughly 300 to 320 km. Plan for the longer end and tell the camp your arrival time.
Is Aqaba part of the Wadi Rum request?
Aqaba is a second destination and a second request. Wadi Rum is about an hour from the Aqaba side by road.
Does the ride include a jeep tour?
The ride is the car from Queen Alia to the point you name. A jeep tour inside the protected area is arranged with the camp.
