Welcome to Wadi Rum, Jordan!  

A Small Locally run Bedouin Tour and Accommodation Service

My name is Odeh Saleh Al-Hewaitaat. I run a small local business in Wadi Rum, where I was lucky enough to be born. We are a team of Bedouin Guides offering tours &  accommodation for couples, families, friends & solo travellers to discover the beautiful desert of Wadi Rum.

Our aim is to help you to have a wonderful un-commercial adventure exploring Wadi Rum in the way which suits you best. Our aim is for you to feel comfortable and connected with our desert, us as people and Bedouin Culture. We offer jeep tours, hiking tours, scrambling tours, and camel treks. We provide accommodation at our beautiful, simple Bedouin Camp.  For the intrepid, we offer bivouac camping - sleeping under the stars.

I work together with a small group of very experienced Bedouin guides, who all have their own strengths and skills. We are family (brothers, cousins) &/or from the same tribe &/or friends. Together we have been guiding tourists as Bedouin Directions since 2008. All of us have worked with tourists for many years before this time. Between us, we have more than 80 years experience!

We offer a wide range of programs to suit every age, interest & fitness level. We cater to your needs from 1-hour visits to 5-day programs and everything in-between.

We have built a simple Bedouin Camp in an exciting location in the desert. You can easily walk to the best sunset area, or if you head south into the very quiet untouched areas of Wadi Rum. The camp is conveniently located for people walking the Jordan Trail (please make sure to book in advance). We aim to strike a balance between a Camp that will be comfortable for our guests (you) and experiencing an authentic taste of Bedouin life. 

We also offer Bivouac Camping in the desert  - 'Camping under the stars'. Many people enjoy a complete escape into the natural environment of Wadi Rum. For those of you, this is a great option.

My administration aims to respond to all e-mail & contact form enquiries, promptly, professionally, clearly, in good English.

I hope you will explore my site further, to read more about what we do.

To book please email:

odeh.southernhoweitat@gmail.com

Or if booking at really short notice please contact Odeh directly using phone/whatsapp - 00962 (0) 7 72800913

Our new improved camp has now been up and running since Dec 2019. We have added a few photos above and below. We shall update again, when it’s warmer and sunny, but for the moment the pictures give an idea of the camp size and location.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to our new camp location. For those of you who have been regulars to the original Bedouin Directions camp, please do visit again to see the new location.

I would like to thank you so much for giving us such a fine experience in Wadi Ramm.
You and your friends (guides, drivers) were such perfect hosts, enabling us to enjoy our time in ways perfectly suited to our temperament and needs, with relaxed efficiency and friendliness, and totally reliable!
We came away feeling we had experienced something - people and land - quite new and inspiring.
Many many thanks.
