Camel riding is a very quiet and pleasant way to discover Wadi Rum that will make you feel like you have been transported back in time.

Stargazing Tour:
During the stargazing tour we will take you outside of the camp to the middle of the desert, where there are no artificial lights and you can enjoy the best view on the stars. The tour will last approx. two to three hours. We will take a carpet to lay down on it and blankets (to cover ourselves if it will get chilly – nights at a desert, especially during spring and autumn can be quite cool). We will also make a small fire in order to prepare traditional Bedouin tea.
Price: 35 JD (per person)
Night Out:
During desert camping we will go outside of the camp and spend the night in the desert. You will either spend a night with our guide or we can arrange the night for you – leave you alone in the desert in the evening and pick you up in the morning. This way you can learn about the desert by yourself. If you will stay with our guide, you will help him in preparation of the fire, cooking the traditional Bedouin meal and putting up the tent. If you will stay on your own, we will leave all the necessary equipment with you to make sure you are ready to survive a night in a desert. A night in a desert is the best way to experience the real Bedouin life in a desert.
Price: 50 JD (per person)
Hiking Tour:
If you are a hiker, then most probably you would like to sped the day hiking around the desert. We will be happy to organise this for you! We are able to organise 2-3 hours hike, during which we will show you as many spots as possible, but it can also be a full day hike, combined with preparation of the meal on the fire – in such case you will spend the entire day in the desert, going on foot from one place to another. You can really experience then what a desert has to offer! Additionally we organise a few days hiking trips combined with camping in the desert in the night. This is the way for you to experience the desert in many different ways – see different sunrises and sunsets, camp every night in different place and cook your own food every day with your guide.
