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.

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.
