My friend and I had an amazing time with our guide Mohammed during this tour. We hopped in his truck and opted for the camel ride experience as part of the tour. Mohammed took us to various spots in the desert that had the best views. As a disclaimer, if you would like to get the most out of this tour, I would definitely recommend wearing hiking shoes and a certain fitness level. The more you are able to climb/hike in the spots that he drops you off, the more you are able to experience an unbelievably beautiful view. We laughed together and gasped at the otherworldly views all day long.

Opt for the sunset and shorter tour

Keanson_Y, Oct 2023

After having read the reviews we were excited, but after having completed this tour, I think I would have been better with a half day tour instead. You need to have a moderate amount of physical stamina to climb a lot of the sites, and after 2-3 stops, I was tired of it. The guide really just drives you to each location, doesn’t really explain much so you’re just free to roam. Also, I understand the lunch was provided for an authentic Bedouin experience but unfortunately, I got sick that night after eating it. My friend was fine so it was just my body. I think this tour group should provide some sort of cooler in the trucks for packed sandwiches or something for those that can’t tolerate the food or have sensitive stomachs. I would say the best part was the sunset and the camel ride. So if anything, maybe opt for a half day desert tour with sunset and camel.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Keanson Ye, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of our private tour. We appreciate your thoughts and feedback, as they help us improve and hear about expectations from visitors. We always prioritise the comfort and enjoyment of our visitors, and I apologise for any disappointment you may have felt during the tour. We understand that some sites can be physically demanding, which is why a moderate physical fitness level is recommended for this tour. However, climbing or walking is always optional, and we encourage visitors to explore Wadi Rum at their own pace. While we aim to provide a diverse experience, we acknowledge that not everyone may have the same energy levels or desire to explore for a full day. That's why we also offer shorter tours that focus on specific attractions, catering to different travel styles. We also wanted to mention that lunch is prepared fresh on each tour and consists of a local dish - gayalet bandora, served with pita bread, hummus, feta cheese and cucumber salad. Fresh pita bread is provided by local bakeries. We understand that individual sensitivities may vary, and we regret any inconvenience caused. We encourage guests to tell us of any food restrictions at the time of booking so we can make sure to cater to everyone's needs. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and advice to future visitors. We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your travels in Jordan. Take care, Khaled & the team at Desert Eyes

Authentic and Incredible Wadi Rum Experience

Abby_M, May 2023

This tour is fantastic! You really get an incredible, authentic full day experience. We rode camels, went sand boarding, drank a lot of tea, played volleyball, hiked around the desert, had a fire, and had a delicious homemade lunch. The Bedouins are so knowledgeable and welcoming, we were brought to so many cool places within Wadi Rum. We travel quite a bit and this was truly an experience we've never had before. There is a lot of hiking, walking, and climbing involved so wear good shoes and bring sunscreen!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks for sharing your experience Abby. I'm to hear you enjoyed the tour with us, especially lunch and the camel ride! Great tips for future daytrippers. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest of your travels. All the best, Khaled & the team at Desert Eyes.

Great outdoor experience in the wadi rum

Gonzalo_M, May 2023

The full day trip was really nice! we hopped on and off in the best places around the Wadi Rum. We stopped for tea & lunch that was cooked in the wild and we finished in a nice spot to see the sunset! Audi, our driver, was super nice and pretty friendly. I highly recommend!

Amazing exploration of Wadi Rum

Elssy_T, Nov 2022

We had an amazing experience with our guide Sultan, he drove us to a few sites where we climb the mountains and walk through the canyons. He cooked us lunch and also a tea with bonfire after watching the sunset on top of a mountain.

Wadi Rum private tour

Dan_H, Nov 2022

Wadi Rum Desert Eyes was outstanding! I can’t fault them. Our guide Atallah went above and beyond to make our day special and helped us have the best experience we could have wished for. Can’t recommend them enough! Thanks so much! Xxx

Awesome experience

sheennamrogers, Sep 2022

This tour is definitely a full day tour. The Bedouins are very friendly and welcoming. It does require a bit of walking, hiking, and climbing (optional), but it was totally worth it because the views were breathtaking. This was such an amazing experience. We will be repeating this tour when we return.

Fantastic experience !

Derek_D, Apr 2022

One hour camel ride and full day jeep is perfect. You also get to walk, hike, & climb so wear the right shoes ! Our guide Ali was punctual, funny & cooked a great desert lunch. We had a thrill of a lifetime!

Fun and full desert tour

Deborah_D, Mar 2022

Very comprehensive tour of all the key sites in Wadi Rum, and our guide made it very personal, taking us to some of his favorite places that weren't even on the itinerary.
