What a great way to leave the Wadi Rum desert. This is an empty area, empty of tourism. There are a few Bedouin camps and a Bedouin village. In general from the departure point, the deep sand of Wadi Rum is behind you (we used a jeep ride to get through Wadi Rum and spent the night there). We initially followed the jeep trail, although is often easier riding on the hard crust beside the trail. As we entered the Wadi and followed it, the ground ranges from hard crust to areas of soft sand, particularly where jeeps have been. There are areas of rock and stones at times, but there are often options for going around. The scenery is incredible with mountains paralleling the route. The exit is on a paved road, almost all downhill, although users are limited by a gate at our exit point onto the highway where we had a pick up waiting for us. It may not be possible to run the route in reverse unless you have a permit. Indeed, you have to have a permit to enter from the north, but that is the way most people enter the Wadi Rum desert area. We used ExperienceJordan.com for logistics.
