We stayed 2 days and 2 nights in the Wadi Rum desert, and we have no words to express how wonderful it was ! We were able to hike and climb in the desert with our guide Abdallah, an amazing climber. We are very thankful for everything, and highly recommend booking a trip with them to enjoy a unique experience that respects the environment. Francesco S05/01/2024Verified The real Wadi Rum experience I spent one day in Wadi Rum. As soon as I arrived Atallah brought me to see the sunset, and then we went to a cavity in a rock in the middle of Wadi Rum where we could warm up by the fire, talk with the other tourists and enjoy a typical bedouin meal. Then we gazed at the stars and finally went to sleep. They provided us blankets warm enough to have a comfortable sleep even in the January cold. In the morning I went to see the sunrise and, after breakfast (again in the itinerant bivouac where we slept), I started a day tour to see the most interesting spots of the desert. The driver / guide cooked another typical lunch for me on a campfire in an isolated point pf the desert. Finally I was brought back to the village. This experience was different from the camps / bubbles as you get something closer to what a bedouin really does when he lives in the desert. Abdullah and his brother Atallah try to focus on respecting the Wadi Rum by avoiding those large structures built by the camps that unfortunately you can see in the desert. It is a little sad to see futuristic luxury bubbles in the middle of the wonderful nature of the desert. What Abdullah and Atallah offer is the authentic bedouin experience in the respect of the nature. Houda Q01/11/2023Verified Wonderful experience with Wadi rum Jordan guide Hello everybody First of all, I would like to reassure all travelers who are wondering if Jordan is safe due to the conflict between Palestine and Israel. You have nothing to worry about, I have been in the country for 10 days and everything is going very well here. There is no tension, the Jordanians are really adorable, don't cancel your trip that would be a shame. I have just left the desert after 2 days and 2 nights with Attalah and her family. It was an incredible experience. I didn't see the time passing, I could have stayed a few more days without any problem. My guide was very nice, funny and above all professional during the treks in the desert. The landscapes are incredible, I still can’t believe it. The meals cooked by our guides were all excellent. Regarding the bivouac, what an experience!!! The meal, the camp, the stars were magnificent. Our guide played us a piece a le ud a traditional instrument. And we didn't even feel cold :slight_smile: This is my experience. Do not hesitate to contact Attlalah on her Instagram page: wadirumjordanguide or on her number: +962 7 7724 7899 Guide3188174628619/10/2023Verified Attalah. thanks thanks thanks Perfectly perfect 🙃 Attalah has a great sense of welcome Very professional Magical place Excellent organization Very very funny pick-up drivers who have an extraordinary sense of welcome!!!

This Bedouin family is so touching and will take you on a more than authentic adventure. Our guide Furadj is probably one of the best guides we have ever had, smiling, touching, endearing and so accommodating! We still have stars in our eyes after this incredible adventure. India30/07/2023Verified Une expérience unique et inoubliable Une expérience inoubliable, au delà de nos espérances. Un accompagnement parfait et bienveillant de notre guide Shaadi et du chauffeur cuisinier Mohammed. 3 nuits à la belle étoile dans ce désert incroyable du Wadi Rum, de superbes treks et des moments d’échanges partagés avec l’équipe d’Attala. La bonne humeur est contagieuse et on a bien rit. A faire absolument ! C’est incroyable et les Jordaniens sont si gentils :-) Merci pour tout Au plaisir d’un nouveau voyage Charlotte D29/04/2023Verified Un séjour inoubliable Je n’ai pas l’habitude de laisser de commentaires mais je tenais ici à remercier Attalah pour l’organisation de ce voyage incroyable : ce fut certainement la plus belle expérience de ma vie. Tout y était : des paysages à couper le souffle, une organisation au top et un dépaysement total. Si Attalah est le chef d’orchestre qui permet de rendre ce voyage féérique, je veux aussi remercier nos deux guide bédouins qui ont rendu ce voyage encore plus magique. Sanad et Bendar nous ont beaucoup fait rire, ont été très dynamiques et ont organisé de super randonnées dans les canyons. En plus, les repas préparés maison étaient délicieux ! Et quel bonheur de s’endormir sous les étoiles, dans un campement confortable après avoir écouté les douces notes de luth jouées par les bédouins… On n’aurait pas pu rêver mieux ! Sebastien B18/04/2023Verified Une expérience authentique incroyable Nous voulons vous dire à quel point nous avons adoré nos 48 heures dans le désert. Tout était fantastique : le désert bien sûr ! Mais aussi l'accueil d'Hassan et de son fils Sultan qui ont été vraiment super. Les promenades étaient agréables et la nourriture authentique était délicieuse. C'est sûrement l'une des plus belles expériences de notre vie. Merci pour tout emmia1915/04/2023Verified 2 nuits de bivouac dans le Wadi Rum Très belle expérience avec Chadi comme guide. 2 nuits à la belle étoile et deux jours complets de marche.

We can ask you to join a group of 2-3 people. If you are alone or in pairs and prefer not to be mixed with another group, we will ask you for a small supplement.
Our visitors range in age from a few months to over 70 years! We adapt to their pace and abilities. As the routes taken often require walking on unstable terrain, it is of course necessary to be able to move around on your own and without equipment.
For babies, parents sometimes choose to come with a folding bed. We advise you to have something to carry your children on your back if you want to go on even short walks.
We also regularly welcome pregnant women and, on the same principle, we adapt to the desired rhythm.
We provide three meals a day, unlimited tea, bottled water and all the equipment to spend the night (mattresses, blankets, a tent if you wish) and of course your private Bedouin guide.
What to bring: We advise you to cover your head (hat or cap) and to bring sun cream. Think of taking a small backpack to carry what you need during the day. A torch or headlamp will be very useful for night time "toilet trips" as well as toilet paper and small plastic bags to dispose of your waste.
Clothing: comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Take good hiking boots or trekking sandals with socks. For the night, a fleece or a big warm jumper.
Wadi Rum has only a few small shops selling food and drink. There are no supermarkets, pharmacies, banks or ATMs nearby. For all this you have to go either to Qweirah (about 35 km) or Aqaba (about 60 km).
As far as sanitary facilities are concerned, there are no showers in the desert, but we provide water and, as the desert is vast, you will always find a quiet corner for your toilet.
Of course there are no toilets either, but there are plenty of rocks to hide behind! We ask that you ensure that all your waste is buried. Toilet paper can either be burnt or taken away in a small plastic bag.
In general it is important to carry a small plastic bag for waste at all times. A rubbish bin will also be available in the car.
Payment is in cash, in Jordanian Dinars, at the end of your stay. Please note that there are no ATMs in Wadi Rum and that we do not accept credit cards.
We can sometimes exceptionally accept deposits by bank transfer to a French account but only under certain conditions.
Yes, thanks to the bivouac sites selected by your guides (sheltered by the rock), the wood fire and our large blankets, the camp temperature is always pleasant and we sleep outside all year round. If the weather is exceptionally cold or if you are particularly chilly, we can offer you individual tents or to spend the night in a traditional Bedouin tent.
Important: We cannot wash our mattresses and blankets between visitors. If you are sensitive and wish to sleep on a very clean cloth, we ask you to bring your own duvets, meat bags (a sheet sewn into a sack to sleep in, so as not to dirty the inside) or sheets. If you do not bring anything with you, please note that you will have to accept these mattresses and blankets shared between visitors.
Il est tout à fait possible de voyager en Jordanie malgré le conflit israélo-palestiniens. Pour visiter le pays en toute sécurité nous vous conseillons de consulter régulièrement le site de l’ambassade de Jordanie.
