What To Expect
Seven Pillars of Wisdom
Discover some of the top attractions in the Wadi Rum Desert on this private 4x4 comfortable jeep tour. The Seven Pillars of Wisdom rise from the desert like a stone poem — seven towering ridges shaped by centuries of wind and time. Immortalized by T.E. Lawrence, they stand as a gateway into Wadi Rum’s stories, where history and legend meet beneath the desert sun.
Red Sand Dune - Al Ramal
The Red Sand Dune, also known as Al Ramal or Al Hasany in Arabic, is one of the most famous dunes in the Wadi Rum desert. It's striking red color comes from a high concentration of iron oxide in the sand particles. Challenging to climb but at the top you can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the valley. This area is known as key filming location of famous Martian movie

5.00Our absolutely top experience in Jordan. The authenticity of the experience is undescribable. We did the desert tour with Mohammed, who was an overall great tour. After the tour we had a time for ourselves which we used for a quick, very needed , nap. Dinner was so called "upside down" which was delicious and frankly much better than the one we had in a restaurant in the city. We spent the evening by fire in a Bedouin tent with Mohammed, his brother Ali and their father and it was absolutely awesome. We chatted, drank their delicious tea and they even prepared us a Bedouin style coffee. Without exaggeration one of the best experiences I have ever had.

5.00Muhammad has been very nice with me and my girlfriend. The tent had everything we needed: spacious, comfortable, new. Simply perfect. We had dinner with him: he prepared some delicious food (special mention for chicken bbq). Then we had the possibility to spend the night around the fireplace, conversating and disconnecting from routine. The next day he took with him to have a desert tour that was simply lovely. We met great people in the camp and we created a unique bond with him. I’ll surely come to visit him in the future
Excellent camp!

Best experience of our stay in Jordan

5.00Best experience of our entire stay in Jordan! We had the chance to discover the legendary hospitality of the Bedouins thanks to Ali and his team, who did everything to make our stay unforgettable. We came across Desert Secret Camp a little by chance, on the advice of travelers we met in Aqaba, and booked a four-hour jeep ride as soon as we arrived in Wadi Rum. The experience was incredible. The desert is splendid and our guide, Abdulah, of rare kindness, has made sure that every moment counts. The camp offers many activities: jeep tours, hiking, climbing the highest peak of the desert, sandboarding and more. Meals, whether lunch in the desert or dinner at the camp, were tasty and generous. In the evening, we shared tea around the fire listening to Ali’s stories and Bedouin songs. It was a magical and timeless moment. Originally, we booked the night in another more “commercial” camp, but faced with hidden fees, we decided to cancel and gladly accepted Ali’s invitation to sleep at Desert Secret Camp. The “tents” are actually spacious, fully equipped and very comfortable high-end bungalows. Ali’s kindness, generosity and sincerity touched us deeply. We could not have dreamed better. Thanks again to Desert Secret Camp. 🙏🏻 Jonathan & Ophelia
Exceptional vacation.

5.00Immersed in the Wadi Rum desert, beautiful experience in tent-bungalow dinner, night and jeep ride. Great price. Super recommended.
Second time in Ali's camp was by no means a repetition of the first - it was a whole new amazing experience

5.00This was my second time to Wadi Rum and the second time with Ali as the host. The first time was in 2023 and included a 4-hour jeep tour plus a night in the camp for a group of three. I liked it so much that when I came to Jordan again in 2025, in a group of ten, we decided to go again with Ali for a full day tour, plus a night at the camp. I was a bit worried that I will just relive the experience from two years back, but I rationalized this by thinking that my family & friends, who were there for the first time, will have an incredible treat. I could not have been more wrong about the first part. I experienced the desert as if for the first time. I saw some completely new, fascinating places (I think only one overlapped between the two trips), Ali cooked us lunch in the middle of nowhere from scratch (it wasn't pre-made), made us feel part of his family when we sat around the fire at night, listened to Bedouin stories and songs and passed the bread and Bedouin tea. We spent the night under the stars, and early in the morning climbed up to see the sunrise. On our way back, we even staged a race between two pickups (because we were a group of ten, we moved in two pickups), which was also amazing and made a great video when put together from all cameras from both pickups. If (or rather when) I'm in Wadi Rum the third time, it will be once more with Ali!
