Aqaba Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Unexpected incredible experience. The two distinguished astronomers came to our hotel and walked us through telescope and naked eye stargazing. They answered all of our questions and even showed us Saturn in the telescope. It was a unique and easy one hour activity. They also capture a great group photo with the milky way! Would highly recommend!

Amazing views, only one in the area with best telescope technology! We saw Saturn, we saw many constellations… more importantly the astronomers/guides/owner are A+. Funny, joyful, very knowledgeable and deserve their business to thrive! book with them

Great tour - exceeded our expectations. We saw so many different parts of the dessert and both guides were great! We finished off watching the sunset in the middle of the dessert with tea and biscuits and a fun drive back as it was getting dark. Would recommend 10/10

We had an amazing view of the sunset before arraving back at camp were we had dinner an enjoyed the night sky. The day after we toured the dessert with amazing views.

It was a great experience the driver was extremely nice and the tour guide was incredible. Be prepared to walk a lot and wear sunscreen.

We visited Wadi Rum and stayed 2 days and did the Desert Tour with lunch and sunset. From the start Khaled and Ali were very helpful and as I was travelling with my mother they helped us organize the taxi to and from Petra , they were very kind and showing us around all the time and shared the history, the culture and the local habits and food with us.My mother felt very comfortable and happy, thank you Khaled and Ali - we will come again.I highly recommend Wadi Rum Desert Eyes!

Tawfiq is a great host and very funny. His brother Sattam was also our guide and took great care of us. Everything about the experience was professional and authentic to the Bedouin culture, and I would definitely come back to Wadi Rum and go with this camp. We went sand boarding, ate a traditional lunch and had lots of sweet Bedouin tea. The facilities were clean and the food was fresh and delicious. Overall I really enjoyed the experience !

I had a fantastic experience in Wadi Rum with Desert Bird Camp. I had chosen a Jeeptur and experienced the beautiful red desert. It was an experience I will never forget. I felt safe and entertained throughout the trip. Take me back!

I really had a nice time, beautiful scenery. Really out of this world. The peaceful silence. The nice hospitality from Khaled and Mohammed really made me feel at home. Looking forwards to the next visit.

As a British traveller based in SaudiArabia travelling to Aqaba through the AROYA cruise, I would like to specially leave a glowing review for Zaid Tours and Travels in Jordan, honestly their owner Carol and their agent Safinaz has shown outstanding customer service and taken their time to answer all my questions and shown continued patience and support with me throughout the process of booking the experience, unfortunately I had to cancel the trip to Petra for personal reasons, but I was given a full refund and they were very professional and kept me informed on email about the refund process which really set my mind at ease. I wish Carol, Safinaz and Zaid Travels continued  prosperity and success, they are extremely professional, a true asset and a wonderful reflection of their country.

Incredible experience! Once in a lifetime views. Our guide Omar was incredible and had us laughing so hard! Definitely don’t miss out on this experience!

fantastic experience. Solo travelled and felt really safe. Taxi in to the village in wadi rum, had a good group. Went into the desert and climbed up the rocks and learnt about the bedouin way of living. Beautiful sunset also.Would say - bring water (it was fantastic but we did not get a lot whilst there) and shoes to climb. Bring toilet paper as v few toilets (nature)At the end we spent the evening at the camp and it was lovely. The owner also dropped me back in the village for a taxi as i was not staying the night!

it was a unique experience. in a small group we felt warmly welcomed. it was a journey into another culture. it couldn't have been better.

It was an incredible journey! We spent one night on the desert, and had a full day trip. If we could make a decision again we would spend more time there because this place is magical. I'm so grateful for that. Fares is a great guide, if you choose his camp, you won't regret it. Greetings from Poland

Great experience, exceptional service & a guide who was both entertaining & knowledgeable!

Such a lovely experience in Wadi Rum! 🌌✨ Stargazing in the desert was beautiful, peaceful and so much fun. Everyone was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. We’re so happy we did it — a really special memory for our family!
