Jordan

Wadi Rum

There's an otherworldly beauty to this harsh desert landscape, which is why it often stands in alien worlds in movies.

About

Carved into the sandstone and granite rock, Wadi Rum is the largest valley in Jordan. The quintessential desert landscape with scorching days and freezing nights, this unforgiving environment has somehow been inhabited since prehistory. The awe-inspiring landscape is best known for its connection with British officer T. E. Lawrence, who was here on several occasions during the Arab Revolt of 1917–18, and much of Lawrence of Arabia was filmed here. When Matt Damon was filming the Martian here, he said it was “like nothing I’ve ever seen anywhere else on Earth”, which might explain why it’s been a filming location for Sci-Fi movies including Star Wars: Rogue One, and the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and perhaps most telling, as Arrakis in the 2020 Dune movie.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.

Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
