I’m Mahmoud and your tour guide. I was born in Wadi Rum and I’m a Bedouin from the Zawaidah tribe. My mother tongue is Arabic, but I also speak English. I love nature, the desert and the camels that live in it. I would like to show this love and the simple life of the Bedouins to my guests. If you are interested, you can also visit our home in the middle of WadiRum, not far from the Burdah Rock Bridge and Mushroom Rock. A place with solar power, animals, water and for a perfect sunset with a cup of tea.
Since 2010 I have been working as a tour guide for jeep tours in all variants. For a long time I went on climbing tours with my guests, but also hiking tours and overnight stays under the impressive starry sky are part of it.
I’m Michaela, I come from Germany and I fell in love with this magical landscape years ago. I love photography, I enjoy the vastness of the wadi and the hospitality of the Bedouins. I would like to make this hospitality and warmth available to our guests. I look after our website and other networks.
Together we have now set up the small camp to offer our guests a pleasant night after a day full of experiences and impressions. Our 3 spacious bubble tents offer comfortable beds, two armchairs with a small table in front of a large glass panoramic window in the middle of the desert. Here you will find peace and quiet, one of the best views of the desert with an incredible starry sky at night.
Breakfast and dinner are served in our restaurant. In the evening there is a cozy fire burning in the fireplace.
Another highlight is dinner in our private house not far from the camp. It can be booked for two people or more. Get private insights and let yourself be surprised.
Our promise: With Mahmoud, our guests experience the true spirit of the desert. Its mystical and otherworldly beauty, its rich history and its unique culture. Sharing these experiences and knowledge and the most beautiful and also most exciting and lonely places in the Valley of the Moon make it an unforgettable memory.
Before we get startet
Our guests will be picked up at 10am at the visitor Center in the Rum Village.
The car can also be safely parked there.
Meeting point for my guests with their own car is our headquarters in Disah. From the Desert Highway in Rashidija, turn towards WadiRum and reach the place after about 35 kilometers. The car can also be safely parked there. Large luggage can be placed at our headquarters in Disah.
We don’t offer a pick-up service from the airport in Aqaba. Taxi rides are available for 35 dinars from Aqaba airport.
Over tea at our headquarters, we discuss our tour and start it. Of course, we also put together tours according to the wishes of our guests. We know that photographers need a certain light. But also excursions with camels or a snowboard ride down the dunes are possible.
Here I have put together 4 offers. They can be connected individually by my guests. I’m always ready for other options and ideas. I would be happy to put together a program according to your wishes in advance.
We have three bubble tents with privat bathroom. So every guest can decide wether they want to sleep under the stars on a tour or in one of these beautiful tents. Photos are available in the gallery.
A big favorite for the two days we spent with Mahmoud from the WadiRum Experience. An authentic Bedouin. We lived with him in the desert. He drove us in the jeep to the most famous places, but also to those that tourists will never see! !... We were treated to real “Bedouin” cuisine, including Bedouin coffee (cream colored)!.. He has goats, two dogs and chickens with their roosters. A goat had just given birth and so we experienced a real moment of love between the mother and the newborn.♡♡ We will come back as soon as possible as WadiRum is huge and there are so many tours and hikes to do . Mahmoud forever. THANKS !

Incredible experience. A complete tour of Wadi Rum. Mahmoud is an authentic, welcoming and warm Bedouin. He listened to us and did his best to accommodate our needs. I recommend Mahmoud for an experience in Wadi Rum. He welcomes you in his atypical house where animals also live (goats, dogs and chickens). Thanks Mahmoud!

Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon, is a vast and mystical desert region in the southern part of Jordan. It is famous for its stunning landscapes, its red dunes and rock formations sculpted by the elements over millions of years. Wadi Rum has been inhabited by humans for thousands of years and has a rich and fascinating history, which is reflected in its many sights and ancient ruins.
The region was home to many civilizations, including the Nabataeans, the Romans, and the Ottomans. In winter, temperatures can drop to 0 °C at night and rise to more than 37 °C during the day in summer. As a protected area with an area of 740 km² and an altitude of 800 meters, it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2011.
The landscape has served as the backdrop for many films set on Mars or any other planet, including Red Planet, The Marsian, Star Wars, Dune and Transformers.
Wadi Rum is an unforgettable place for nature lovers, climbers, hikers, horse and camel riding tours and of course for photographers. The starry sky is unique and one night below is an experience.
