Loyalty Drones provides aerial drone filming in Wadi Rum, Jordan’s iconic protected desert. We capture cinematic aerial footage of Wadi Rum’s sandstone mountains, dunes and desert camps for tourism, film and brand projects — working within the protected area’s rules and securing every permit so your production is fully authorized.
Aerial filming in Wadi Rum
Wadi Rum — the “Valley of the Moon” — is one of the most cinematic landscapes on earth, and a UNESCO-listed protected area. Its towering sandstone formations, wide red sands and dramatic light have made it a favourite of international film productions. Aerial footage is the only way to truly convey its scale, which is why drone filming is in such demand here for tourism marketing, documentaries and brand films.
What makes Wadi Rum unique for drone work
Nowhere else in Jordan offers Wadi Rum’s combination of vast open space, monumental rock formations and uninterrupted desert horizon. For aerial cinematography this is ideal: long sweeping moves over the dunes, reveals from behind rock walls, and golden-hour light that transforms the sand. The remoteness that makes it spectacular also makes planning essential — logistics, timing and permits all need to be arranged in advance.

Permits for drone filming in Wadi Rum
Wadi Rum is a protected area, so drone filming requires more than standard CARC authorization — the protected-area authority’s permission must also be arranged, and filming activity is expected to respect the environment and visitors. Loyalty Drones manages the full permit process, including the protected-area coordination, so your production is properly authorized. Background is in our drone laws guide.
