About this experience

This is a unique experience because Wadi Rum is a one and only desert in our planet earth. You will be able to see the red and white sand desert and also do sandboarding in a red sand dune. You can also hike in one of the beautiful mountains we have in this unique scenario and see the sunset or the sundown while the moon goes to sleep or makes her first appearance at night. You will be able to make camel ride surrounded by this spectacular landscape and also you can feed the camels that live in freedom in the desert from the jeep if they approach to you. The show of colors you can see in Wadi Rum will captivate your eye once you put your feet naked in the sand. And above all, you can make all this with a Bedouin, the original people from Wadi Rum desert since centuries ago.
