    Getting There

    Walking

    From your accommodation in Wadi Rum village, head towards the main road leading out of the village. Follow the path towards the Wadi Rum Visitor Center, which is about a 20-minute walk. Once you reach the Visitor Center, you can ask for further local transport options or guided tours that can take you to Eilat. It's important to note that Eilat is actually outside of Wadi Rum, so you will need to arrange for additional transportation to reach Eilat from there.

    Camel Ride

    If you've arranged a camel ride, your guide will pick you up from your camp or accommodation in Wadi Rum. They will lead you through the stunning desert landscape towards the outskirts of the Wadi Rum area. Inquire with your camel guide about arranging a ride to the nearest bus station or transportation point that can take you to Eilat, as it is not a direct route from Wadi Rum.

    Tour Group

    Many local tour operators in Wadi Rum offer day trips to Eilat. You can book a spot in one of these tours directly from your hotel or camp in Wadi Rum. The tour will typically include transportation to Eilat, so simply follow the instructions provided by your tour guide on where to meet and what time to be ready for pickup.
