Located just 30 minutes away from Rum village, Wadi Rum offers one of the most thrilling sandboarding experiences in the world. The biggest dunes in the area, towering at 200 meters high, await adventure seekers who want to slide down the slopes with a board strapped to their feet. For the best sandboarding experience, it is recommended to go in the morning when the temperature is not too high. While sandboarding in the scorching heat of 40°C can be a memorable experience, it is important to take frequent breaks in the shade and stay hydrated.
One of the advantages of using a local tour guide is the opportunity to find quieter dunes to sandboard on, away from the crowds. The biggest dune in the area, locally known as “Big Red”, is very popular with both locals and visitors. After a thrilling morning of sandboarding, the rest of the afternoon can be spent exploring the dunes through dune-bashing and excursions. This sandboarding experience at Wadi Rum is perfect for thrill-seekers who are looking for an exciting and unique way to explore the beauty of the desert.
