    Wadi Rum Bedouin Camping is the backbone of Wadi Rum Tourism

    Camping in Wadi Rum is a part of the tours that can be carried out in Wadi Rum Desert , you can ask to sleep in the desert camps at any time and any trip. We will talk here about the following activities:

    Hiking in Wadi Rum
    Trekking in Wadi Rum desert

    Hiking in Wadi Rum

    Here we intended to start from a particular place such as the seven pillars camp and then come back again to the same place or go to another place on the same day
    It may take an hour or two hours or more, We often do not recommend walking more than six hours, interspersed with a rest intervals

    Note that you will not be all the time in a vast and open desert under the scorching sun, because there are high mountains with shadows and narrow beautiful canyons


    TIP : Since you are not a 4*4 vehicle , when walking on soft sand you have to imitate camel in walking, to put your foot soles fully on the sand in a vertical, not metatarsal or heel, otherwise you will be tired quickly



    Trekking in Wadi Rum:

    When you want to go to a far location needs more than a day of walking you are in this case, Trekking , and may have two ways either hike or ride a camel, such as tour # 7+8+9.

    TIP : Saddle placed on the camels are made of wood and covered with blankets or natural wool , If the cover is not enough you will feel tired and bottom pain, and therefore from the outset, ask your guide to handle it..

    TIP : Riding a camel in the desert is very interesting, just pay attention when rising from the ground because It starts to lift the rear legs and then the front ones , when stands there is no problem you just relax to know why the so-called ship of the desert
