Active in unique nature
The walls of Wadi Rum offer opportunities for a wide range of interests with or without ropes.
We can admire the beauty of Wadi Rum also without ropes in lofty heights during the so called Scrambling. Scrambling is a type of hiking that involves steep passages that require the use of your hands and feet. Unlike climbing, you don’t need any special equipment to climb the trails. The Wadi Rum desert offers a wide range of trails that lead to the peaks or over the rocky mountains, some of which are easily accessible to almost everyone, and some that are more complicated.
According to your wishes
The times of the tours can vary. On the way to our overnight camp we can stop at other attractions or simply enjoy the impressive Wadi Rum from various off-the-beaten-path vantage points.
I also worked as a climbing guide to various climbing walls for a long time and know the circumstances well. I don’t provide climbing equipment, but a belay is possible through me. It is also possible to book a climbing guide for about 40 JOD. A precise agreement with me for a climbing tour is necessary before booking.
I advise bringing sunscreen. Furthermore, a scarf, which serves as a headgear, should be included. A hat is inconvenient due to the headwind while driving the jeep. A small backpack for the day is also useful. A flashlight or headlamp as well as toilet paper and small plastic bags for disposing of your rubbish are very useful for the night-time “toilet visit”.
Clothing: comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty. Good hiking shoes or trekking sandals with socks and a fleece or large, warm sweater for the night.
As for the sanitary facilities, there are neither showers nor toilets in the desert, but since the desert is huge, you can always find a quiet corner.
In general, it is important to always have a small plastic bag with you for rubbish. There will also be a trash can in the car.
Yes, thanks to the bivouac sites I have chosen (protected by the rock), the wood fire and our large blankets, the camp temperature is always comfortable and we sleep outside all year round.
Important: I cannot wash our mattresses and blankets between every visitor. If you are sensitive and would like to sleep on a very clean sheet, please bring your own duvets and sheets.
I work exclusively in hiking bivouacs. In fact, I am against any idea of fixed camps. These unfortunately too many and mostly illegal permanent installations destroy the landscape.
At the end of the day, I choose a spot sheltered by a rock and set up camp. We spend the evening, have dinner and sleep under the beautiful starry sky, warmed by the wood fire. Falling asleep looking at the Milky Way is an unforgettable experience. That’s why I prefer the nights under the stars.

My tours require some organization and grocery shopping. If the booking has to be changed or cancelled, no problem. I have a free cancellation policy. Just let me know 24 hours in advance via email or WhatsApp.

Payment is made at the end of the stay. Note that I cannot accept card payment, but only cash Jordanian Dinars, but also US Dollars. The Wadi Rum Village has no ATM’s. You must make sure to have enough cash with you before you arrive here.
