5.00The stargazing experience was absolutely amazing! Aya and Yanal were the kindest hosts and the best organizers. Everything was perfect… from the welcome coffee, tea and dates over the traditional Bedouin rebab music to the very knowledgeable and lovely cultural astronomer Abdallah. His explanations were very easy to understand and engaging - I learned a lot of new things!
Fascinating

5.00The stargazing experience and explanation is out of this world, the bedouin people are the best at this especially that their region doesn't rain much in winter, so they have clear skies almost all year round and are experts in stars in summer and winter stars. The laser pointer they use to show you which exact star they're talking about is also impressive. The telescope experience with a full moon was beautiful, the welcoming experience with the bedouin tea and snacks, and warm bedouin covers 👍👌 they were also super supportive in helping us book our hot air balloon ride too. The payment was easy through instant payment transfer.
Hello Milky Way!

5.00A wonderful experience. My highlight was being able to see the Milky Way with the naked eye. We took a jeep ride into the desert, where a divan had been set up in the middle of nowhere. We were welcomed with Bedouin coffee, and a Bedouin played oud music on a Bedouin instrument made of a wooden frame, goatskin, and horsehair strings. Afterwards, an astronomer explained the constellations and how they came to be, from the Greeks to the Arabs to the Europeans. Then I was able to look through a telescope and saw Saturn for the first time. Finally, we were served Bedouin tea. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours. We were also provided with warm Bedouin costs (see pic). They were very cozy. Everything was just wonderfully organized and orchestrated.
Amazing experience, you must do it

5.00We have done stargazing experience a few times at different continents, Stargazing & Bedouin storytelling is the most memorable and impressive one thus far. First, the group focus on supporting local tribe members who is putting their child through university, the event is setup with a memorable settings, with comfortable Bedouin made couches and cozy overcoat to protect you from the desert wind. Traditional music performance mesmerize everyone and set us in the perfect mood to enjoy the environment. Then, the star of the show, the stargazing, was the most informative one we have attended. It was guided by a physics professor, who is an excellent teacher, we were able to trace all 6 zodiac signs and more. Wadi Rum desert is a truly fascinating place, and the stargazing experience push it up another notch.
More Than Just Stargazing, Pure Magic

5.00This was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve never seen the night sky so clear. You could see what felt like every star in the universe, and looking through the telescope made it all feel even more surreal. The outdoor seating alongside the tea, coffee and dates offered were fantastic. But what really made the trip special was our host. Super friendly, welcoming, and so passionate about the stars. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does, and her energy was contagious. She made sure everyone felt included and I would highly recommend. Cant wait to visit again.
Inoubliable

5.00Traveling throughout Jordan and exploring Wadi Rum, especially at night, was life-changing. There's just something spectacular about sitting under the stars at night, the sounds of wildlife echoing around me, and not a single soul but mine around. It resonates through you. The campgrounds our group stayed at for the evening was hospitable, staff and guides were warm and welcoming. Our "zarb" mealtime was most indulgent and satiating.
