The bedouin means "desert dwellers" are nomadic Arab tribes who live in the desert. They are traditionally divided into tribes; wadi rum is one of them, known as "zalabieh" tribe. The bedouin way of life is always connected to the desert and has a common culture of herding camels or goats in the past, moving from place to place as nomadic. Due to the nature of the desert, until recently wadi rum's tourism has been experiencing a huge boom and the tribe has started to rely on the tourism business as their main source of income. Therefore, many camps, even us, have provided a 100% traditional experience and foods which are locally made

The weather at Wadi Rum, while predictable, varies widely based on the season. Summers are quite hot, with average daytime temperatures between 38* and 45* (100* - 113* F). However, at night the temperature drops significantly (15* - 20*; 60* - 68* F). During the winter, daytime temperatures are usually between 15*C to 20*C (60*F – 68* F), with temperatures at night hovering near freezing. If you are traveling to Wadi Rum in the winter, try to wear warm, thick, comfortable clothing and make sure to bring a warm winter jacket for these cold nights

After you complete registration and entrance fee related at the Wadi Rum Visitors Center, then you can continue driving 6km further into Wadi Rum Village. You can find it on Google maps anadadd we'll pick you up from there

I am afraid it is not possible. If you stay at another camp, you can arrange the transfer service with your camp although it might require some form of payment, especially without a tour. There are over a hundred of camps, some of them located outside of the protected area. This can take a one-hour ride for both ways, therefore we recommend arriving at the pick-up point as we advised. However, if you really need it, we might arrange it, but for additional cost since it is not within our service area.

A single entry to Wadi Rum will cost 5 JD per ticket, each person. However, if you have a valid Jordan pass, then it will be free of charge.

Yes, you can. However, due to the large size of the desert landscape, which is approximately the size of New York city or 74,000 hectares. In order to reach each of the camps inside wadi rum, it requires a jeep service. The Wadi Rum desert is a dry valley covered mostly in sand with extreme hot weather. The sand can make it hard to move around due to its natural environment. Moreover, there is no coverage inside protected area. It can be difficult to explore the area on one's own due to the harsh conditions and size. However, if you have a jeep, you can pay a self-drive fee at the visitor center for 35 jd per jeep. This does not include any personal entrance fee. Otherwise, you may try to walk, but most of the time you will have a chance to visit a few sites in a day. I recommend hiring a guided tour. They can give you insights about their lands, take you into photogenic spots, show their traditional culture and make the whole thing a lot easier.

A light, loose, comfortable clothing is best, with perhaps a light jacket for the night time. During the winter, daytime temperatures are usually between 15* to 20*, with temperatures at night hovering near freezing. If you are traveling to Wadi Rum in the winter, be sure to bring a warm jacket for the nights.

Pair of lightweight trekking shoes, sneakers, or sandals Hat**, sunglasses, sun screen Personal medicine Flashlight or Headlamp (for walking around camp late at night) On your tour you will have the chance to purchase a Arab head dress that is the best defense against the sun... it's why the Bedouin have worn them for centuries!

Yes, it is. all children, even infant, can visit wadi rum. If your kids are really big fans of nature and outdoor activity, I am sure they will have a great time. Additionally, our guide and staff will ensure your kids' safety at all times.

Yup, absolutely. However, this can be reserved at an additional cost, but with conditions, our guests have a jeep or hiking tour with us. additioanlly, please be informed the hot air balloon ride is subject to availability and weather conditions.

I am afraid not. All of the guides either speak English or Arabic. There were some websites saying that they've a French or Spanish speaker, but the truth is the opposite. Perhaps they are guides for the tour agency. Some guides used to speak a little or a few words of a foreign language. 

I am afraid we don't. However, we do have a qualified doctor who lives in the Wadi Rum Village. He can provide non-emergency outpatient care that's routine or preventive, eg fever, first aid or minor accident. You'll typically go to a hospital for specialist care, surgery, or for more serious, life-threatening conditions. The nearest hospital will be aqaba, which lies 70km from Wadi Rum village

No, there are no COVID-related restrictions at our camp or within the Wadi Rum. However, regarding the entry to Jordan, please refer to your government travel advisory or official website of the Jordanian Government.

The payment can be paid at arrival. There is no deposit required, all payment can be paid in cash only, either in Jordan dinar, USD or EURO. There is no bank or ATM in wadi rum either. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare before arrival.

There is no cost for the cancellation policy, however we would prefer to be notified as early as possible.

More than happy! we understand that a private tour can be important for such special occasions, like honeymoons, wedding anniversaries, birthdays, or just travelling with friends and family on vacation

yes, we do offer sharing tours, but it depends on availability or any existing policy which might be subject to change without notice.

I am afraid we don't have any climbing tours. We don't have any guides who are experienced enough, but I can arrange a hiking tour. If you really need to do a climb, we recommend you to bring your own equipment and climb at your own risk.

That's fine, you can come to our check-in time, which is open between 9 am to 7 pm daily, have dinner and overnight, then the tour on the following day after breakfast at 9-10 AM.

You can bring the luggage on the tour. We have a special compartment to store your luggage on the jeep and that is spacious enough. The alternative option is that you can store the luggage at our guest house.  After the tour, we will bring it to our camps, but if you have a more than-a-day tour then your luggage will be kept in your private room at all times until the check-out date.

For sure! You're more than welcome, no matter what kind of package you book, you can add extra nights to the start or end of your trip by contacting us.

Absolutely! You can pick your recommendation type and add some extra activities (if it’s not already included in your package). You can also add extra nights in Wadi Rum to the start or end of your trip, then we'll see if it possible and, after that, will quote you the total price. For other travel styles, like without tours, we might have more limited customization options due to the nature of the trip.

Our camp is off the grid from any public access. However, we do have own solar panels to generate electricity for the camp (100% renewable energy). Each of our rooms is equipped with a power outlet, therefore, you can charge any electronic device such as phone and camera.

Yes, we do. Our water is heated by the solar system, we do recommend to use proper water as it is a scarce resources in the desert.

We do provide western hot shower and toilet, which separated between gender. there are no private shower in the room, all of our camp are shared facilities.

It's possible, this do not have any additional cost., the climate crisis is accelerating and we do respect that you would like to fostering a culture of sustainability

All the different camps offer a variety of dishes, but our camp is 100 % locally sourced ingredients. Breakfast: Zattar (Bread dipped in mix of olive oil and thyme.) We also serve jams, eggs and cheese, yoghurt etc. Breakfast is light by design so that you can quickly be on your way, whether that means a tour with us, or heading back to the village to continue your travels. Lunch: Bread, hummus, salad, tuna, fooul, eggs, and various hot dishes (e.g. eggs with tomatoes). Every lunch is a little bit different. Dinner: Dinner is one of everybody's favorite parts of the trip. It typically consists of the Zarb, a traditional Bedouin meal cooked under the ground. Sometimes we change it up by offering a delicious 'Bedouin Barbecue' cooked over an open fire. Side dishes include salads, soup, rice, vegetables, bread, and fruit. You won't be able to avoid the Bedouin tea, which is served in every tent you will visit. It's hot, sweet and usually flavoured with mint and/or sage. Truly an experience not to be missed.

Yup, you can drink and bring your own alcohol to our camp, but i am afraid you need to carry it. Our staff can't touch it due to religious issues and we don't sell alcohol either.

Our camp uses the three-pin socket, which is the same for the UK, Denmark and Greenland. In general, Jordan has several types of socket. There are no fixed regulations, so a universal adapter is definitely a great help.

Sleeping under the stars means that you will sleep out in the desert or, known as "wildcamping". It will be just between the guide and you. You spend the night around the fire with your guide while watching starry skies. We provide mattresses and pillows when it is almost sleeping time. It is one of the most authentic ways to discover Wadi Rum and its traditions.

Our breakfast and dinner are still served in our camp, the "sleep under the stars" is usually held after dinner time and then our guide will start the jeep to drive you into the secluded spot where you will see no one apart from your group, it is one of the best experiences we can offer.
