Access Issue: Entrance fee required; you are also supposed to register with the Tourist Police if climbing Details

As of May 2022, the entry fee to Wadi Rum was 5JD/person. The alternative to paying the entrance fee is to buy a Jordan Pass. If you get the Jordan Pass before you arrive in Jordan, your US visa fee ($56 US) is waived and the Jordan Pass allows access to places like Petra, Shobak Castle, etc.

At the Wadi Rum entrance complex is a Tourism Police office. If you are climbing at Wadi Rum, you are supposed to register with the police and give them a photocopy of your passport. Bringing a spare photocopy to give them saves some time, as they don't have a photocopier of their own.

Description

Make your way to the very popular tourist destination (though you will most likely still have it all to yourselves!) known as the Kharaz Rock Bridge. This is a massive natural arch a short drive NE of Disi. Jebel Kharaz is the big tower standing to the left of the Kharaz Rock Bridge (arch). You can drive to the base of the tower and arch where you will frequently find a Bedouin Camp offering tea.
