Plan your trip

Here, it’s not just a tour, it’s a real moment

Wadi Rum is a desert of red sand and sandstone mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For us, above all, it is home.

Tea brewed over the fire in the tent, 4×4 tracks, dinner cooked under the sand and a night under the stars: we share our daily life with you, in small groups and without pretence.

Eid Salman Al-Zalabieh, Bedouin guide and founder of Wadi Rum Best Tours

A desert that raised us

“As a child, I followed my father between the rocks, fed the camels and listened to the elders’ stories around the fire. For more than ten years I have been a guide, learning every corner of the desert, every light, every silence.

If you dream of discovering Wadi Rum differently, I will guide you there with all my heart.”

One of the best guides you could ask for

“Eid has not only the knowledge of the dessert, but the ability to share and immerse you in his love for the dessert. Impressive his knowledge of over 200 mountains without a GPS […] you mention it to him and Amina and they will make it happen.”

Wadi Rum Best Tour with Eid

“We had a magical cultural experience on the Bedouin Camp of our guide and friend now Eid […] traditional Bedouin meals, music ( Eid compose music !) , and stories around the campfire. We sleep outside 1 night ! […] The jeep tour was exciting, and the stargazing was incredible.”

“There are many camp options in Wadi Rum, but let me save you the trouble: Wadi Rum Best Tour is a real gem you can book with your eyes closed. […] the delicious homemade meals, the sunset in great company, the lively evenings full of stories, songs, and dancing, and the night under the stars… our stay was truly exceptional.”

Petra and Wadi Rum: how to combine them?
