Inspiring experience

It was an incredible journey! We spent one night on the desert, and had a full day trip. If we could make a decision again we would spend more time there because this place is magical. I'm so grateful for that. Fares is a great guide, if you choose his camp, you won't regret it. Greetings from Poland

A Lifetime Experience

From the moment we decided to hire em tour, they helped us with all the questions. Once there, everything was perfect, an unforgettable experience for which we are very grateful. We took the complete pack of 3 days / 2 nights and recommend it as it is the best way to see "everything" and know the Bedouin culture thoroughly.

Experience recommended!

We booked a day tour with overnight stay in a Bedouin tent with Fares Wadi Rum. The experience is unique and will remain indelible in our hearts, Maria and Fares entrusted us to Youssef (Fares' brother) who accompanied us into the desert with a jeep, we left the village (reached by Petra by taxi which, if desired can be booked directly by them) at about 9 am and we made several stops with a stop for lunch prepared in a tent by Youssef who took care of us with unique courtesy and affection. The various stops allow you not only to admire unique natural beauty but also to go hiking and sand boarding, at each stop there are tents that offer free tea and sell local products and crafts. I stress for free because for us Westerners to pay even just a glass of water is a given, let's not forget that we are in the desert and water is the most precious asset there can be, offering it is a gesture of hospitality and care. Youssef is an experienced guide, and a great driver, despite having a problem with a knee he found the solution to make me get on and off the pick up with agio. Dopo sunset, which remains a breathtaking natural spectacle, you reach the camp where you can leave your luggage in a tent, use the toilet and dine all together around the fire in the main tent equipped with sofas with cushions and very comfortable seats. We witnessed the extraction of the grilled meat in the sand. We spent the night in our tent, discreet beds and equipped with many blankets to protect ourselves from the cold. The moonless sky gave us the feeling of being floating among the stars in a sea of blue. The next morning a hearty and delicious breakfast said good morning, then we said goodbye to everything and were driven back to the village where another taxi already booked was waiting to take us to Aquaba. We recommend anyone who wants to live an unforgettable day to turn to Fares and Maria, the view and the beauty of nature are there for anyone but the ability to make you feel welcomed and welcome is a rare quality and for that we thank them.

Magical experience

I contacted Maria to arrange the experience of jeep tour in Wadi Rum. She was super helpful explaining all the options and very flexible with our needs. When we arrived a friendly local guide welcomed us on a cool 4x4 taking us to the best spots and explaining us many interesting facts of this wonderful place. Super recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Magical

It was a great experience to explore the Wadi Rum and we are happy we've done it with Fares's team. We've made the 2 days tour and overnight. Our tour guide was Rashid, a very nice and funny guy and also a perfect driver. He showed us many different places around the desert and explained us a lot about bedouin culture. In the evening, once we arrived at the camp, we had dinner and we ate traditional bedouin food, it was delicious, the best one we've tried in Jordan. We spent great time eating and talking all together around the fireplace. After dinner we watched the stars for a while and then we slept in a tent for the first time in our life, it was an incredible experience. We recommend this tour because we think it would be hard to find better hospitality than this. Thank you very much for everything!

Amazing experience. Beyond our expectations

Unforgettable experience in Fares desert camp. Hosting was very warm, food was awesome. Camp was clean and comfortable. Host made us forget about the outside world and fall into bedouin lifestyle for a short time. Special thanks to Sabah, the best guide and driver in the desert :) Strong desert man and Star ;)
