The Red Sand Dunes

The red dunes of Wadi Rum: climbing and sandboarding on crimson sand against sandstone.

The red dunes of Wadi Rum pile crimson sand against the grey sandstone massifs, creating the desert's most photogenic contrast. Climbing the soft ridge rewards with slides, jumps and panoramic shots.

Sandboards are usually available from camps. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan stop here between jeep stops, and full package tours to Jordan schedule a dune play break.
