Wadi Rum Beduin Camp in Aqaba

zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

Situated some 70 km north-northeast from Aqaba, the Wadi Rum is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful desert landscapes in the world.
Wadi Rum Bedouin Camp lies in the very heart of the desert within the Wadi Rum Protected Area.
The camp is ideal for small groups and for those wanting to avoid the tourist crowd. It is located in a scenic, hidden spot of the desert, and provides excellent opportunity to experience of the real desert world and enjoy traditional Bedouin hospitality. The black Bedouin tent is complemented with shower and flush toilet facilities. The price of the accommodation includes traditional Bedouin barbecue dinner and breakfast.
The camp is run by Obied Naser, an experienced Bedouin desert guide holding the license of the Wadi Rum Protected Area Authority. He is also making jeep desert tours, ranging from 2-5 hours to full-day. Several-day trips and camel ride can also be arranged.
Sandstone climbing routes are also available in all grades of difficulty. Walking treks - from daytrips to several-day treks in the desert - include full-board (breakfast, lunch, dinner, water).
Airport transfer is also available, and Obied can take you to any other places in Jordan with his tourist car (such as Dead Sea, Petra, Madaba). Keep in mind that Petra is closer from Wadi Rum than from Aqaba, so it is practical to combine the two trips.
