5Great Family Experience. Thank you Khaled and Ali!
We visited Wadi Rum and stayed 2 days and did the Desert Tour with lunch and sunset. From the start Khaled and Ali were very helpful and as I was travelling with my mother they helped us organize the taxi to and from Petra , they were very kind and showing us around all the time and shared the history, the culture and the local habits and food with us. My mother felt very comfortable and happy, thank you Khaled and Ali - we will come again. I highly recommend Wadi Rum Desert Eyes!
5Out of this world experience.
I really had a nice time, beautiful scenery. Really out of this world. The peaceful silence. The nice hospitality from Khaled and Mohammed really made me feel at home. Looking forwards to the next visit.
5Wadi Rum is on Mars, you've come to the right place.
Our guide Abdul is a native of the Rum village and we think there is no one who knows the desert better than him. We had a perfect safari trip with perfect timing. He is a real gentleman and a very good cook. You should definitely do the full day safari with him.If you want a tour guide that truly makes you believe that Wadi Rum is on Mars, you've come to the right place.
5Look no further for a true experience with Bedouins
Other worldly experience. Khaled and his team made us feel at home and in a different planet at the same time. We also spent a night in the camp and it was an amazing experience. Totally recommend!
5Wow & Wow!!
We had an amazing day with Ali as a guide!! Both relaxed and informative and now, a day after, still impressed by the sheer size, rest and beauty of the Wadi Rum. The desert camp was very nice - basic, though clean and cosy. Great choice for a night the desert!
5Otherworldly Experience
My friend and I had an amazing time with our guide Mohammed during this tour. We hopped in his truck and opted for the camel ride experience as part of the tour. Mohammed took us to various spots in the desert that had the best views. As a disclaimer, if you would like to get the most out of this tour, I would definitely recommend wearing hiking shoes and a certain fitness level. The more you are able to climb/hike in the spots that he drops you off, the more you are able to experience an unbelievably beautiful view. We laughed together and gasped at the otherworldly views all day long.

About Aqaba
Aqaba is Jordan's only seaport, a warm Red Sea resort town at the head of its gulf, backed by desert mountains and near Wadi Rum and Petra.
Aqaba sits at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, at the north end of the Red Sea, with the mountains of Edom behind it and Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia on the other shores of the gulf. Jordan's only seaport, it has been a trading place since ancient times, and an early Islamic city, Ayla, has excavated remains on the seafront. The fort near the harbour dates from the Mamluk period, and Aqaba fell to the forces of the Arab Revolt in 1917.
