Wadi Rum: Bergwanderung mit Mittagessen und malerische Taltour

We did the desert vibration trek with two nights sleeping under the stars in the desert and another two night in the camp. everything was amazing! great food, great hosts, great tour! it was raining one night and our guides organized a covered shelter for us on short notice. on the last day we had to make a little change of plans, what was also no problem for our guide and we did a great alternative route. thanks a lot to the team of desert eyes, it was our best experience in jordan.

Reviewed activities: • 1 Night Accommodation - Desert Camp 15 Oct 2022 • Essence of Wadi Rum Trek 16-20 Oct 2022 • Rakhabat Canyon & Burrah Canyon Day Hike 21 Oct 2022 We can highly recommend Desert Eyes. The preparation with Khaled (owner) went very smoothly by email. Desert Eyes is very flexible and open for customizing their standard offerings to fit your wishes and requirements regarding time window, level of difficulty, distance, food and other personal interests. All agreements made in advance were fulfilled. Every evening Khaled visited us to find out if everything went according to plan. If necessary, adjustments could be made every day, but that was not necessary for us. Everything went perfectly. With the "Desert Camp" package (1 night) you get a pleasant evening and overnight stay in the desert with all basic amenities (shower, toilet, beds, internet). I would recommend combining the overnight stay with at least one day activity (day hike, jeep tour, camel ride). With this combination you will get a good picture of Wadi Rum. However, if you like hiking and are into outdoor life and activities, you should definitely book the Essence of Wadi Rum (+ Rakhabat and Burrah Canyon) with Desert Eyes. It is a particularly varied and immersive experience where you hike across immense plains and through wadi’s, chorums and siqs (canyons). Also on the program are Jordan's highest mountain and two beautiful "bridges." You will spend several days hiking through more remote areas of Wadi Rum where there are far fewer tourists and jeeps. For us, this was a definite plus. Our guide Yosf (aka King of the Desert) is a young and proud Bedouin who loves hiking, Wadi Rum and ancient traditions. He is an excellent guide who showed us the very best of Wadi Rum and gave us many insights. Beware though: when Yosf replaces his sandals with sneakers, you know it will soon become a tad more difficult ???? Our cook Abdullah spoiled us for 6 days with all kinds of typical Jordanian dishes. We were surprised each time how Abdullah could prepare a delicious lunch or dinner using only 1 gas pit and a wood fire in the middle of the desert. Even after our trekking in Wadi Rum, we hardly had anything better in any restaurant throughout Jordan than with Abdullah in the desert. We also shared many pleasant moments with Abdullah, Yosf and Khaled in the evenings after hiking and diner. We enjoyed many interesting and inspiring conversations over a wood fire. But also just chit chatting and laughing. We even learned a little Arabic and of course enjoyed stargazing before falling asleep under the awesome open sky. Khaled, Abdullah & Yosf all went for the extra mile. They made it an unforgettable experience for us. Shukran jazilan!

Khaled the manager replied promptly to all my queries and was extremely flexible to adjust the itinerary to my needs prior to the trip. We did a 3d2n hike. We had guide Yousef and driver/cook Hassan. Hassan cooked awesome Bedouin meals for us! Yousef took good care of us especially during the technical climb to the Burdah arc. Sleeping in the wild under the stars was the best experience. Wadirumdeserteyes provided clean pillow, sleeping bag and blanket. Our 2nd night we stayed at the campsite in the tent which was very comfortable too with shower facilities. We enjoyed the dinner and was very impressed with chef Abu Sleman cheerful personality. He definitely made us felt very welcomed. I would strongly recommend to enjoy Wadi Rum experience with Wadirumdeserteyes!
