Under the Stars

Experience the simple beauty of Wadi Rum on a unique wilderness camping adventure. Watch the desert sunset over the horizon before enjoying a traditional campfire dinner, then settle into your bed beneath the open desert sky.

Spend a peaceful evening surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs, golden dunes, and remarkable rock formations. As darkness falls, the sky transforms into a spectacular canopy of stars, creating an unforgettable stargazing experience in the Wadi Rum desert. Enjoy a delicious dinner around the campfire, share stories, listen to music, and relax with traditional Bedouin tea before retiring to a comfortable bed set up under the stars.

Wake early to witness a beautiful sunrise over the desert mountains, while your guide prepares a warm breakfast to start the day.

This experience is perfect for travellers looking to disconnect from daily life and enjoy the quiet beauty of nature. It offers a wonderful opportunity to slow down and experience the simple rhythm of desert life.

We provide everything you need for a comfortable night in the desert, including a foam mattress, pillow, blanket, and sleeping bag.

Because this is an authentic wilderness camping experience, there are no toilet facilities. Guests simply find a private spot behind a dune or bush, dig a small hole in the sand, and cover it afterwards.

There is no mobile phone signal or Wi-Fi in the desert, allowing you to fully enjoy the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of nature.

The Under the Stars experience is best enjoyed between March and November, when temperatures are more comfortable. During the winter months it can be colder, but adventurous travellers can still enjoy camping with the right preparation.
