Private full day jeep tour in the desert

I want to say thank you to Rakan and my cousin Sameh. I went to a desert camp for two days and one night and was impressed by their hospitality. Rakan and I had a lot of questions and requests beforehand on WhatsApp about what the tour was about, but they replied quickly and it was great. They will make the best suggestions for your itinerary and activity preferences. If the tour is not enough to just explore the typical Wadi Rum desert sights, we recommend trekking to the highest point in Jordan. For an hour or so, you'll climb a rocky mountain with spectacular desert views, and at the top you'll see the border with Saudi Arabia. It was the first day of Ramadan, and Sameh took us up a tough route and then cooked us lunch in the middle of the desert. They also serve their Bedouin dishes for dinner. It was a traditional sand oven-based dish, and it was better than any meal I had in Amman or Petra. Rakan took care of a lot of things in the accommodation and made me feel at home. If you're considering a trip to Wadi Rum Desert, we encourage you to get in touch with us via WhataApp. They will customize the package to fit your budget and preferences. Thanks again to Rakan and Sameh. Thank you very much.

Highly recommend Rakan and his family run operations. We took multiple tours with Rakan, his nephew Saher and cousin Fufu, and I must say, they are very knowledgeable about the desert, fun to be with and go to great lengths to make your experience a memorable one. We were not just shown the 'usual/touristy' spots, but were also taken to nomadic Bedouin camps deep in the desert and saw the bedouin lifestyle and their cattle and camels. Can also highly recommend the night-time star gazing experience, which Rakan took great pains to deliver a stellar experience for us - finding the perfect cave driving in the dead of the night to get us the best view of the night sky. There is truly no request too large for this family. They go above and beyond each time! We were in two minds, coming to Jordan for the first time from India, if we should stay in one of the more popular 'bubble tents' or stay in a Bedouin family run camp for an authentic desert experience, and I must say we were supremely delighted with the decision we took. Rakan - keep up the good work buddy. I wish your business prospers and you get a chance to show more tourists from around the world your incredible home. And for the pair of binoculars which I promised to send over as a gift, I will surely do so as soon as I can convince a friend/relative to come and stay next with you in Wadi Rum!

I went to Jordan with my friends in December this year, and just writing this review gives me chills. With Rakan we spent an incredible day, from the amazing food to the words we shared by the fire, and the best tea of my life.

Very nice experience with Rakan, we saw lot of beautiful places and have a good time in wadi rum desert, he is a good man i reccomend for sure. 🍀

We chose Rakan as our guide in Wadi Rum because he offers rock climbing as part of the experience. The rock climbing with his brother Salama (who trained in Chamonix) was stellar. But Rakan went above and beyond to coordinate an amazing trip for us in every respect. We requested a sunset horseback ride, which he kindly arranged, even it is not one of his standard offerings. He also scheduled a sunrise camel ride. Some friends of ours warned us to pack our own water, since most guides would not offer enough for 90+ degree weather. Rakan thoughtfully ensured plentiful amounts of cool, bottled water were always available. He's also just a genuinely enjoyable, interesting person to talk to. You will not regret booking him as your guide! By the way, Rakan mentioned that he loves 85% Belgian chocolate. If you engage him as a guide, I'm sure he would be thrilled if you brought some as a gift!

I made 2 days of visit with Rakan. It was a really great experience!! I visited the “White desert” and the “red desert”, full of magnificent views!! Rakan and his family are very kind, kind and did everything to make me feel as comfortable as possible. His nephew Laher cooked us a delicious meal in the middle of the desert. In the evening, Rakan took me to a semi-open cave to see the stars, a magical experience. Don’t hesitate to visit him to discover Wadi Rum, try the tea (or rather the “Bedouin whisky”)!!

The tour we did was absolutely amazing. Could not recommend it enough, Wadi Rum is really somewhere everyone should visit! Rakan was an excellent guide, fun, knowledgeable and professional. It was such a treat meeting him and his family and learning about Bedouin ways of life. We got driven around in the jeep, saw all the main spots and then watched the sunset to an open fire. Thank you so much for having us! We will be back

Rakan was an amazing guide and I had a blast rock climbing and jeeping with him. He was very nice and accommodating, and was very easy to schedule and plan with. Would book again if I come back.

Very warm welcome. Rakan is a friendly, generous and very helpful host. The food was excellent. It was my first time in Jordan (solo), and Wadi rum completely dazzled me. The jeep ride was amazing, I will definitely come back. I strongly recommend this camp for its beautiful scenery, not to mention the sunsets / sunrise and stars.

I attended both the Red Desert Tour and White desert Tour. Both were UNBELIEVABLE. Each told had 8+ destinations ranging from gentle hiking activities, scenic lookouts, and unique landscapes. We traveled to each via jeeps with a private driver. Each tour was very different, the Red Tour had lots of iconic scenes from movies and viral photo spots. Whereas the White Tour was much less touristic and quieter - it was my favourite as we went to the Saudi Arabia boarder and Jordans highest mountain. Our guides, Yosef and Rakan, were amazing. Both are local men who have extensive knowledge of the desert, as well as the cuisine, customs and traditions. They love sharing their culture and enjoy tourists company. The lunch was amazing and cooked by the guides fresh at the lunch spot. It was so delicious and even better watching them cook it in front of us and explain the dish! I cannot recommend this experience enough.
