Sandboarding in Wadi Rum

Trying sandboarding on Wadi Rum's dunes: the Laurance dune, technique and the fun factor.

Sandboarding down Wadi Rum's tall crimson dunes is pure, laughing fun and far easier than snowboarding. Glide standing up or sit on the board for a faster, sillier run down the soft red slope.

The dunes near the village and camps make it a simple add-on. Try a few runs; the technique clicks fast. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan can ask their driver where locals board, and full package tours to Jordan include a dune stop on the desert day.
