What can you do in the evenings in the Wadi Rum desert?
Maybe you're coming to Wadi Rum to see the desert, ride a camel, or explore the most popular attractions you've seen on Instagram or TikTok. You've probably heard about the stunning views of the stars and sky at nighttime, but what else can you do after sunset in the Wadi Rum desert?
When you experience the Wadi Rum desert with us at the Welcome to Wadi Rum camp and tours, your day does not end after sunset! One of the most exciting experiences is participating in the traditional lunch, prepared underground in Bedouin style. You can see how the food is cooked and taste the authentic flavours. It's delicious! There is meat, vegetables, rice, bread, salad, and much more, all served in the tent, along with the original Bedouin music and dance!
While you're enjoying dinner and the night approaches, your Bedouin guide will be preparing the campfire outdoors. After a long day spent in the desert, it's so nice to sit around the campfire, relax, drink tea, and listen to the stories of the local Bedouins. Whether you're here with your family or friends, you can be sure that all of you are experiencing something unique and beautiful that can only be sensed in the desert of Wadi Rum, with Bedouins.
Did you know that there are no clouds or disruptive lights in the desert at night?
This unique environment of Wadi Rum allows you to see millions of stars above you. You can easily locate the Milky Way and recognize several planets like Mars and Venus with the guidance of your Bedouin guide.
