Rakan wadi rum tours

Our campsite and our community’s village is situated within the beautiful Wadi Rum desert and engulfed within its high mountains.

Out in desert you are exposed to the tranquility and calm atmosphere that makes this place unique. When you’re here, you will enjoy the quiet and peace, as well as spending time with nature and local people.

What makes this experience unique to others is the opportunity to learn and connect with our local Bedouin people. We are a family run camp, and our community has lived here for over 200 years. You will have the opportunity to explore and learn about the desert, our cusine, and arabic from our local guides.

We are also new to WorldPackers, and will appreciate any ideas on how we can improve the experience going forwards - so really, your input and what you want to get out of this experience is also our priority.

My name is Rakan, I am the owner of the camp and a local Bedouin person. I manage the campsite, which has been operating since 2018, where many of my cousins and extended family work. My family and I are very welcoming people. We want to show you our local ways of being - our home in the desert, traditional food, and Bedouin hospitality. We are also very excited to have the opportunity to meet travellers from all over the world. We hope to learn from you about your culture and improve our English. When you are here, you will be treated as a member of our family. We will take you on tours throughout the desert, dine together, and will strive to offer as many local experiences to you as possible (subject to their occurances). At Rakan camp, you will feel at home.
