BIVOUAC CAMPING EXPERIENCE
Sleep under the stars in the traditional Bedouin way
Authentic Desert Experience
Bivouac Camping in Wadi Rum
Experience the desert as the Bedouins have for centuries with our authentic bivouac camping. Sleep under the vast starry sky, surrounded by the majestic landscapes of Wadi Rum, and connect with nature in its purest form.
What is Bivouac Camping?
Bivouac camping is the most authentic way to experience the desert. Unlike structured camps, bivouac camping involves setting up a simple, temporary camp in the wilderness, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in the natural environment.
Our Bedouin guides will select a secluded spot among the towering cliffs and sweeping dunes, where you'll sleep on comfortable mattresses under traditional blankets. With no light pollution, you'll witness the night sky in all its glory – a canopy of stars stretching from horizon to horizon.
This experience connects you with the ancient traditions of desert nomads while providing basic comforts to ensure a memorable stay. It's camping in its purest form, yet with the security and knowledge of experienced local guides.
