Excursion Grand piano sunset champagne in wadi rum tour at Aqaba

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Your tour starts with an approximate one hour drive on the Desert Highway to Wadi Rum Desert Vistors Centre.


Wadi Rum Desert & 4x4 Vehicles Dune Adventure

Departing the port by coach, an approximate one-hour drive on the Desert Highway takes you to Wadi Rum Vistors Centre. Here you will switch to simple 4x4 vehicles driven by local Bedouin drivers from the area for the trip into the Wadi Rum desert. A trip into the realm of Wadi Rum when the sands and dramatic rock formations are bathed in the muted afternoon light is a most inspiring experience. The setting gets even more dramatic as the sunlight fades behind the stark mountains.


As you enter the Wadi Rum region, its captivating and mystical beauty will astound you. Black, wind-sculpted hills stand like sentinels upon pale sands, interspersed by dramatic rock formations. Your drive will take you past the Wadi Rum Visitors Centre and a small Bedouin community with their prized possession, the camels. Farther into the desert, you may be able to spot a few of the traditional black tents dotting the arid landscape. Your trip into the desert will provide awesome and ever-changing vistas of multicolored granite and limestone cliffs rising amid the vast expanse of sand. Parts of Wadi Rum resemble a lunar landscape, aptly called the "Valley of the Moon." Here the legend of Lawrence of Arabia was born. A rock formation known as The Seven Pillars of Wisdom was immortalized in the book and film about the legendary figure.


Private Grand Piano Sunset Champagne & Canapes

Reach a private sunset spot in Wadi Rum and enjoy the scenary while sipping a glass of champagne with a full setup of canapes along with a real grand piano playing live in the background.


Experience the unique atmosphere of the sunset in the desert before driving back to Aqaba port.
