Great experience! - We had amazing time with our driver Salama, who made very delicious lunch for us in the middle of Wadi Rum. Khalid was very understanding with the time (we've got extra hour to see the mushroom rock). I came for the tour with a ad knee and the driver always made sure I have an easy way out of the truck and plenty of time to sightsee/take pictures. Offered us some tea and refreshments so they were well prepared for us. The taxi transfer option, organised by tour provider, is extremely convinient if you stay inn hotel in Aqaba. Reccomend this highly!

must see in Jordan - We (30 and 31 years old, from Switzerland) booked the "Rakhabat Canyon Day Hike" with a taxi transfer from the Mövenpick Resort Tala Bay in Aquaba. Everything was perfect for us and everything went smoothly. From the taxi transfer, ATM stop, hike, lunch, jeep tour, sightseeing to sunset! Great value for money! Friendly guide, good driver and cook! The tour requires some skill, surefootedness and a head for heights. Very satisfied, impressed but also tired, we were driven back to the hotel by the taxi driver!

Wonderful Wadi Rum - A great tour of Wadi Rum with our guide Jusef(not sure of spelling) but he was very informative and cooked us a delicious lunch. Wadi Rum was truly amazing and we picnicked in the desert where it seemed we were the only people there, so peaceful and tranquil. An amazing experience

Perfectly guided by real locals - Amazing experience. Khaled was so professional and organized. Farejh, the local bedouin who drove us around the valley, was born and leaves there. He was nice and very knowledgeable about the place. He is a great driver and better guide. He also cooked delicious vegetables and brought a tasty salty cheese! Both speak perfect english. The landscape is unforgettable! Khaled recommended visiting the Nabatean Temple at the end of the tour. Thanks for this unique experience.

Wadi Rum is a must see - Excellent tour. Highly recommended. Everything was as described. Hotel pick up and return was on time and professional. We were met at the Wadi Rum village by the tour operator and introduced to our driver. We had full day tour with stops at many wonderful sites. We were given ample time at each for photos, hiking, climbing and exploring. The lunch was prepared on site and was absolutely delicious. We ended the tour at a fantastic spot for watching the sunset. Unfortunately incoming clouds obscured the sunset. But otherwise it was a fantastic day.

A beautiful and calming day tour away from busy tourist sites - At the end of February 2023, we did the "Bedouin Steps Tour" offered by Wadi Rum Desert Eyes. The booking process was very easy and quick. Similarly, the taxi pickup from our hotel in Aqaba South beach at 9 am was smooth and easy as was the quick 60 min ride to Wadi Rum. Upon arrival at Wadi Rum village around 10 am, Khaled gave us a warm and calming welcome while we had a chat along a coffee to discuss the day. Next, we started our trip on the back of a Toyota pickup to the more remote and less visited parts of the Wadi Rum national park. During our tour, we barely saw any other visitors even though it is a busy time for visiting the park. Hence, the "Bedouin Steps Tour" is absolutely recommended from us for those who want to escape the crowds and enjoy the tranquility, calmness and relaxing atmosphere of the magnificent desert. End of February was a great time to visit as many desert flowers were blooming and turned the sand dunes into a sea of wealth and life from insects, reptiles and birds to goats and sheep brought by shepherds as well as several groups of dromedary strolling around the valleys. For nature lovers, we would recommend that time of visit. During our tour, we visited 6 sites but without and rush or hassle. There was always enough time and we never felt some kind of rush mood. Our guide spoke good English and was very kind and friendly. He prepared tasty vegetarian lunch, there was always enough water and we had great tea. After watching the sunset, we returned to Wadi Rum village, said goodbye and were immediately transferred back to Aqaba in a short 60 min taxi ride. All in all, we highly recommend the "Bedouin Steps Tour" and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for a great time!

An amazing desert experience. - An amazing experience. Khaled and his team were super friendly and professional. He organised our Hotel pickup and we met him in the Village of Wadi Rum. He was very welcoming. The tour was done by his son Ali who was a great driver and tour guide and also a great cook! He showed us all the best spots and even stayed with us a little bit after sunset so we could enjoy the stars coming up!

A day in the desert - A good experience with a Bedouin guide. Fantastic scenery. More communication in English would have enhanced the experience. The taxi was late arriving which caused some angst. Signs to indicate that the transfer had arrived would be a benefit at a crowded pick up point. We had an enjoyable day.
