Night Walk Tour
Experience the tranquility and beauty of the desert under the night sky
Tour Overview
Our Night Walk Tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the magic of Wadi Rum after dark. Starting from our camp, you'll embark on a guided walk into the desert to a specially designated area where you can enjoy the tranquility of the night, sip traditional Bedouin tea, and marvel at the star-filled sky before returning to camp.
