Additional Information

Off the beaten track and out of the hard camps, come and live a unique experience.

The best way to appreciate the beauty of the Wadi Rum desert. A desert that was millions of years ago submerged by the sea. A desert where poetry ricochets between the cliffs like the sound of stones or sand rising up.

The Bedouin tradition, which persists in this desert from century to century, is inscribed through nomadic life. This tour will allow you to immerse yourself in the history of these canyons and hidden trails with a local guide.

You will discover why Wadi Rum is divided into two deserts, what are the so-called mushroom rocks, what is the meaning of the Petroglyphs engraved by the Nabateans who had already started to tame this desert 13 centuries before us.

Far away from all of the non natural light, the cave experience is the best way to enjoy the colors of the sun set and sun rise. From our caves we will be able to see a sky full of stars and the milky way.

Great experience under the stars - The hike was definitely worth it! Seeing the stars from a cave was so great. Eid was a perfect example of the Bedouin hospitality. The lunch and the tea was great. Eid showed me his wonderful culture. Very good time. If you come to Wadi Rum you should definitely do it.
