Want a good time? Book Wild Wadi Rum! - We had the 2 hours jeep tour plus 1 hour camel ride at Wadi Rum desert and we must confess, if you want to feel in safe hands, go with these cool guys please! From the easy communication and booking process to the outstanding hospitality and the authentic beduin lifestyle we can 100% recommend Wild Wadi Rum. Our driver Ahmad was such a charming and smooth guy, always joking around a little and giving us good information about all the spots we visited. He gave us enough time to explore all the spots and driving with him was soo much fun! (Ya Ahmad, next time we drift inshallah 😉). A big plus was the sun shade our pick-up had.👍 And if this hadn't been enough to remain a memorable experience, our camel ride was the absolute cherry on the cake! By making a childhood dream come true we rode 1 hour through the desert with the most handsome camels Fu-Fu, Shu-Shu and Mish-Mish. 💖 It was absolutely awesome (and hot indeed) and we feel so thankful for having the chance to explore this super chilled-out kind of travelling. Thank you Wild Wadi Rum Team for showing us the beauty of your desert! 🙏

Great tour! - Eid and his family were so great and hospitable. We had some tea in his some before he took us on our tour. The truck bed was covered and he kept a cooler full of water for us.We saw all of the highlights we wanted to and it was a great mix of seeing things from the truck and being able to get out and climb and explore. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Amazing once in a lifetime experience with an excellent company - Highly recommend this tour company. Everyone has to check in at the Visitor Center and the man checking us in said this company was his family’s. He facilitated contact with Hussein and we got easy instructions. Hussein was waiting for us at the road and helped us park our car safely within their home’s walled compound where he had tea for us in their home before we left with our guide Eid. The tour was so much fun, we had options on participating in all possible activities (based on our physical abilities and interest) and he allowed us plenty of time to see and do everything from short hikes, climbing the arch, sand boarding etc. Eid was very kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable, providing a stop for lunch (he brought some snacks and lots of water, we bought food at the visitor center)

Amazing jeep tour - Nice welcoming by Hussein. We wanted a softer ride, because one of us is having a back pain and everything was perfect with the ride. We also had nice quick pause at one of camps, accompanied with small glass of tea made by the local people. The sandboarding was also really fun and the pictures we made with it are awesome. Highly recommended, even if you have been on jeep tour so far!

Mesmerising - It was absolutely an amazing experience. Abdul was a great guide and showed us beautiful places in Wadi Rum. Some of the attractions were quite challenging, for instance, climbing an arch or dunes and may not be suitable for some persons. Also, an arch can be difficult for people with fear of heights. However, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we took outstanding photos. The views of Wadi Rum are mesmerising.

Great deal closure trip - Well. The tour didn’t go like I was expected, they missed the sandboarding + no detail explanation sharing for each site. They just drove us around and left us on the parking of each site, then we walked by ourselves. I told them I was disappointed on this. So they try to made this up by giving free 1hr camel ride, allow me to have another day for sandboard free of charge, and no additional fee for bringing one friend with me. Afterall, I guess it was great deal closure for both of us.
