Five Days of Desert Hiking and Bedouin Camp Life in Wadi Rum

This journey spends time in the landscape rather than passing through it. Shared meals, a night outdoors when the group size allows, and walks between sandstone formations make the desert part of daily life.

Let the sandstone landscapes set the pace for five days in Wadi Rum. Soul Tribe Travel brings guided desert walking together with camp life, tea by the fire and space for yoga and meditation. The route begins at Bedouin Yoga Camp, with Laura Di Salvo named as the retreat guide and local Bedouin guides leading the desert excursions.

After arrival and a camp gathering, a jeep excursion leads into a day of walking and an overnight under the stars. A later outing heads towards Jabal Umm Ad Dami, with an alternative when fewer than two guests book. Another walk visits Lawrence House or Mushroom Stone and takes roughly four to six hours. The source also describes yoga and meditation sessions, campfire evenings and a 1-hour camel ride back to Rum Village on the final day. Weather and group size can change the route.

Arrange your dates with the host for this five-day, four-night stay. Check-in begins at 14:00; the final day ends around 11:30 at Desert Rest House in Wadi Rum Village, in Jordan’s local time. Listed full prices are USD 699 per person in a shared twin tent or USD 899 in a single tent, with a separate 14% booking deposit. Meals, drinking water, tea and coffee, guided outings, the jeep tour, camel ride and village-to-camp transfers are included. Airfare, visa/Jordan Pass and entrance fees, travel insurance, personal expenses, tips and extra tours cost extra. An outdoor overnight requires at least two guests. Bring a daypack; the host supplies camping equipment. Confirm your dates, walking suitability, dietary needs and meeting arrangements before booking travel.
