Microlight flying

RASCJ Slideshow

The club operates 1 microlight in Wadi Rum which takes 1 passenger at a time. Passengers are taken on a tour of Wadi Rum for various times of their choice, from a 10 minute flight or for up to an hour.

There is also the availability to do a training course and qualify as a microlight pilot.

With this lightweight aircraft you will cruise at speeds of 80 to 90 km/h at altitudes of 1000-1200 meters which is ideal to take superb photos of the beautiful rock formations and sand dunes.

Although flying is considered an extreme sport, you do NOT need extra insurance in order to try a microlight flight in Wadi Rum.
