The Um Ishrin Dunes

The Um Ishrin dunes: Wadi Rum's signature red sands beneath the Jebel Um Ishrin massif.

The dunes at the foot of Jebel Um Ishrin are Wadi Rum's signature sands — deep red, fine-grained and perfect for barefoot climbing, sandboarding and the classic photographs against the massif.

Camps nearby light fires at dusk. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan reach them on afternoon circuits, and full package tours to Jordan include the dune stop before camp.
