What To Expect
We start by picking up our guest from all the local camps in Disi Area around 7:45 Pm in winter. (Summer times change, please check with us). Don't worry we always pick you up after your dinner. The adventure starts with a 20-minute presentation that takes you on a journey that sheds light on the cosmos. As the presentation ends, we step out and begin our trek across the sky. We split our guests in 2 equal groups: Group 1 Follow the light of the green laser surrounded by a candle track. A professional astronomer takes you around the night sky, explaining how to find directions in the night through the stars’ system. Then explaining the daily and annual rotation of stars. We show our guests various constellations and horoscopes with the aid of the laser. We explain ancient mythologies from various cultures. This session takes 35 minutes. Group 2 Will spend time on large telescopes, computerized with GPS systems. They see various targets like: Galaxies, Nebulae, planets and its moons, etc. The session is guided by another professional astronomer. This session takes 35 minutes. At the middle of the show.

4.00I enjoyed the short film that gave me a better understanding on the size of the universe and human self. The astronomer answered questions patiently and humorously.
Incredibly engaging gang who told about stars and planets

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Great starlight in the desert with Rumsky Adventure** We were picked up at the hotel in the evening and driven together to Rumsky Adventure's center in the Wadi rum desert. The whole group went together, but during the experience we were divided into two, which worked very well. One group was taken with a piece out in the desert, completely away from all light. There we stood in the dark while the guide told engaged about what we saw in the sky. Stars, planets and constellations were explained in an easy-to-understand and interesting way, and it was clear that they had extensive knowledge of astronomy. Afterwards, four telescopes were ready. These automatically followed the planets, adjusted to Earth’s motion, making the experience extra impressive. We were able to see stars from close range, study the moon in detail and observe several planets through the telescopes. The whole setup was very engaging, professional and well organized. This is an experience I can strongly recommend to everyone.

5.00Booked 14 Jan, picked up from Wadi Rum camp 8 pm, took us to meet the RumSky team an amazing experience. Incredible equipment opening our eyes to the stars and beyond. Our Star Tutor has incredible knowledge and shared his passion of the universe with us. Pointing out North Star and how to locate it, streaming a brand new star, gasses in the night sky, Saturn and an array of shiny stars not visible without enhancing our vision using the high qualtiy equipment. Value for money, with a nice group of equally interested star gazers. Thank you for a truly inspiring evening which exceeded our expectations. Look forward to seeing our group photo taken on the night and were returned to camp 10pm ish. Lu & Dave, UK

5.0014 Jan 2026 The stargazing gazing Adventure was literally out of this world. The guide was absolutely fantastic and certainly knew what he was talking about. Our whole group came away wanting to do it all again, can't recommend it more highly.
Interesting, easy to do, great fun

5.00Brilliant experience. Our guide (astronomer) Fakhri was excellent - knowledgeable and entertaining. The telescopes were self positioning and powerful - so easy to see the objects.
It was nice but short and expensive.

3.00It was nice but too short and too expensive. 25€ for watching a 5-minute video, and Orion, Uranus and Jupiter at the microscope... We could have done the same in our country. Sorry but it is not worth the money... The personnel was nice.
Dont bother

1.00Absolute waste of time, save your money and spend it on something else. The staff were generally nice but it was a total tourist trap & everything felt very scripted. Far too much waiting around, the actual information was short and limited, and you could barely see anything through the telescopes
Wonderful experience

An informative and fascinating look at our night sky

5.00An informative and fascinating look at our night sky Myself and a friend visited on a weekday night in late-October. The event was all in the English language. We paid on the night at the venue. Venue had male and female toilets. The fee also included pickup/drop-off to our Lodge. A 15-minute informative introduction including a short video showing the vast size of the universe, in an air-conditioned room. We were then split into two groups to go outdoors: one group looked through each of four telescopes in turn and one group heard about Polaris and celestial navigation, then the groups swapped over. Both members of staff used a laser pointer to point out features in the sky and were open to further questioning and clearly passionate about their profession. I particularly enjoyed viewing Saturn & its rings through one of the telescopes and hearing about Polaris.
