Life Changing Camel Trek

This was an amazing trip. Khaled provided a well-planned, exciting itinerary. Our two guides, Suleman (camp set up and cook) and Hamdan (camel guide), were very knowledgeable and provided a genuine Bedouin experience. The slow rolling gait of a camel is truly the best way to experience Wadi Rum. We camped under the stars, one night on a stone ledge with petroglyphs. The night sky was stunning, as was the sunrise. Food was cooked over a campfire and was hearty and delicious. We went close to 50 kilometers on camel over three days. I recommend Desert Eyes without reservation.
A great tour at Wadi Rum

Our tour with the guides was super organized, we were a day on the road with the jeep and three days with camels on tour. A great experience with many highlights. One of them was the overnight stays under the breathtaking starry sky. The food was great and the guides were very friendly and helpful! We'll be back!
Great experience in the desert

This was a beautiful experience and highly recommend it. The camels are well looked after by the Bedouins and are gorgeous animals. The dessert sun on your back as you take a slow ride is a wonderful feeling

We put ourselves totally in the hands of Desert Eyes and had an amazing experience! Our camels were clearly well cared-for and healthy. The camel guide was Bedouin/English-speaking and extremely competent, our Bedouin chef was amazing, producing beautiful traditional food for us. The Desert Eyes owner checked each day that everything was in order. We had wonderful Bedouin evenings with fantastic food, and a lot of fun. The desert was amazing, in the daytime and also at night. This trip totally overdelivered. Our hosts really took great care and we felt humble and honoured to be their guests. In the desert there is no WC, so we were very discrete and left no litter; it was no problem. A Bedouin shower (water bottle with punctured holes in the lid) was a great solution. My husband and I both developed sore bottoms from skin-on-skin chafing (no fault of the camels/equipment). Next time we would use something to prevent this!
A unique once in a life time experience.

Who won't want to ride a camel in Jordan. Our track was organised by our tour guide and was about an hour. We were planning on doing one at Petra but we're advised we would get better value at Wadi Rum with a longer ride. We were not sorry we took up the offer as it was a lot of fun. Of course I got the naughty camel who complained etc but what a lovely creature. Beautiful sites to see and a unique experience. Thank you to all those who made us so welcome.

We chose the full day camel trip to the desert and it was amazing, a bit painful, but worth it. Khaled is very friendly and answered all our questions. He is working with local bedouins and they were our guides through the desert. The food was good, and the services were great. We strongly recommend!
Absolutely amazing experience staying overnight

Amazing full day camel tour - although I recommend only for people used to riding animals, as your legs will hurt a lot after a full day of camel riding! The desert is beautiful, and the guides will take care of all your needs. However, be aware that guides sometimes don’t speak a lot of English. Absolutely recommend to spend the night in the Bedouin camp, enjoy a wonderful Bedouin BBQ and sit around the fire to see the sky full of stars and the Milky Way - even the bad phone camera could capture stars!
