5.00We visited Wadi Rum and stayed 2 days and did the Desert Tour with lunch and sunset. From the start Khaled and Ali were very helpful and as I was travelling with my mother they helped us organize the taxi to and from Petra , they were very kind and showing us around all the time and shared the history, the culture and the local habits and food with us. My mother felt very comfortable and happy, thank you Khaled and Ali - we will come again. I highly recommend Wadi Rum Desert Eyes!
Out of this world experience.

5.00I really had a nice time, beautiful scenery. Really out of this world. The peaceful silence. The nice hospitality from Khaled and Mohammed really made me feel at home. Looking forwards to the next visit.
Wadi Rum is on Mars, you've come to the right place.

5.00Our guide Abdul is a native of the Rum village and we think there is no one who knows the desert better than him. We had a perfect safari trip with perfect timing. He is a real gentleman and a very good cook. You should definitely do the full day safari with him.If you want a tour guide that truly makes you believe that Wadi Rum is on Mars, you've come to the right place.
Look no further for a true experience with Bedouins

5.00Other worldly experience. Khaled and his team made us feel at home and in a different planet at the same time. We also spent a night in the camp and it was an amazing experience. Totally recommend!
Wow & Wow!!

5.00We had an amazing day with Ali as a guide!! Both relaxed and informative and now, a day after, still impressed by the sheer size, rest and beauty of the Wadi Rum. The desert camp was very nice - basic, though clean and cosy. Great choice for a night the desert!
Otherworldly Experience

5.00My friend and I had an amazing time with our guide Mohammed during this tour. We hopped in his truck and opted for the camel ride experience as part of the tour. Mohammed took us to various spots in the desert that had the best views. As a disclaimer, if you would like to get the most out of this tour, I would definitely recommend wearing hiking shoes and a certain fitness level. The more you are able to climb/hike in the spots that he drops you off, the more you are able to experience an unbelievably beautiful view. We laughed together and gasped at the otherworldly views all day long.
Amazing experience!

5.00Amazing experience! Truly iconic. Every visitor to Jordan must go to Wadi Rum. One of the world's great natural wonders
Opt for the sunset and shorter tour

4.00After having read the reviews we were excited, but after having completed this tour, I think I would have been better with a half day tour instead. You need to have a moderate amount of physical stamina to climb a lot of the sites, and after 2-3 stops, I was tired of it. The guide really just drives you to each location, doesn’t really explain much so you’re just free to roam. Also, I understand the lunch was provided for an authentic Bedouin experience but unfortunately, I got sick that night after eating it. My friend was fine so it was just my body. I think this tour group should provide some sort of cooler in the trucks for packed sandwiches or something for those that can’t tolerate the food or have sensitive stomachs. I would say the best part was the sunset and the camel ride. So if anything, maybe opt for a half day desert tour with sunset and camel.
Unbelievable Experience in Wadi Rum

5.00I stayed with the Wadi Rum Desert Eyes group for a full day tour and overnight at their camp in Wadi Rum. The guides are very knowledgeable and helpful in traversing the many sights and scenes across Wadi Rum. They are the most helpful people you will ever meet. Water was provided throughout with breaks when needed. The lunch and dinner given by the team in a traditional bedouin tent tasted great. It's an excellent touch to spend the evening after dinner surrounding a campfire, drinking traditional bedouin tea under the stars. It is an amazing experience to see Wadi Rum and to spend time with the bedouin people, and Khaled, Salameh my guideand all the rest of the team make this an even better experience. I highly recommend booking a tour and staying overnight with the Wadi Rum Desert Eye Company. Its the best experience ever, with the best people possible.
Authentic and Incredible Wadi Rum Experience

5.00This tour is fantastic! You really get an incredible, authentic full day experience. We rode camels, went sand boarding, drank a lot of tea, played volleyball, hiked around the desert, had a fire, and had a delicious homemade lunch. The Bedouins are so knowledgeable and welcoming, we were brought to so many cool places within Wadi Rum. We travel quite a bit and this was truly an experience we've never had before. There is a lot of hiking, walking, and climbing involved so wear good shoes and bring sunscreen!
