Experience Details

Our trip with cooking class in the desert will give you an unforgettable lifetime experience.

Camels, goats and other animals of the desert will cross your way. The smell of bonfire & bedouin tea.

Our guides are experienced and belong to the bedouin community of Wadi Rum. They will prepare delicious bedouin dishes with you on the fire, tea and coffee(please let us know, if you are vegetarian).

Spend the night in a traditional Bedouin camp with hot showers, comfy beds, bed linen and towels.

You will wake up in the middle of the desert ! In the early morning you'll be the first and can take gorgeous pictures!

This is the most authentic way to get to know the desert.

After breakfast the next morning we will bring you back

Or you decide to stay longer with us :-)
