There are special by-laws and codes of behavior to support the conservation efforts in Wadi Rum. The most important of these for visitors are summarized below:
| Drive your vehicle only on the designated tracks (or encourage your driver to do so). | |
| Protect all nature: no hunting or collecting of plants, animals, rocks, artifacts or firewood. | |
| Camp and climb only in the official sites. Use gas stoves or charcoal for fires. | |
| Minimize use of fixed climbing gear and chalk and avoid damaging trees and shrubs. | |
| Take your litter away: keep the area clean. Burn toilet paper or use water. Bury human waste. | |
| Minimize noise level; refrain from playing loud music. | |
| Respect the lifestyle of local people; wear appropriate dress and ask before taking pictures. |
