Day 5: Bedouin Camp in Wadi Rum (twin-share)

Notes:
Wilderness Camps:
All single travelers will be provided with their own tent for free.

Our amazing local Bedouin support team sets up the campsite during the day, so everything is prepared when you arrive. Upon arrival, enjoy some time to sit down, relax and have some tea. Then when dinner is ready, our Bedouin support will reveal the locally made feast.

In the tents, we provide foam mattresses, sheets, and blankets. So no sleeping bags are needed unless you want to bring your own.

A simple shower tent is provided.

Our wilderness camps provide a nice escape from everyday life, great views, good service, and some wonderful dinners.

Bedouin Camps:
Rooming on a twin-share basis. So travelers booking together will share a room.

These are fixed site, touristic Bedouin Camps, staffed by locals, in Wadi Rum. Bathrooms are normally off-suite, with a women’s and men’s public bathroom.  The tents do not have A/C or heater, but the desert normally has cooler temperatures at night.

During the hike, you will only need to carry your daypack with the essentials. Your main luggage will be transported between campsites by our Bedouin crew, and you will have access to it each evening after the hike.

We are running these trips during the best times of year to trek in Jordan.

Throughout the year, at the camps during the night you will want to have long pants, and a light jacket or sweatshirt.

During November, December, and February, you may also want warmer clothes like a bigger jacket, hats, gloves, and a light rain jacket.

This is a 5-day trek with each day covering 12-23+ kilometers (7.5-10.5+ miles). That is five days in a row with 5-8 hour hikes.

The first and last days (Days 1 and 5) are noticeably longer than the rest, each covering over 20 km.

Because of these two demanding days, we rate the overall difficulty of this tour as “tough,” our highest level.

We recommend a reasonable level of fitness so you can really enjoy the experience and make the most of the adventure.

We recommend doing some practice hikes, walks, and basic strength or cardio training to help you prepare for this trip.

Shoes
The ideal shoe for this hike is light-weight hiking shoes.

If you only have big-clunky hiking boots and running/athletic shoes, you could take both and see what you prefer on the hike.

Hiking Sticks/Poles
Most of this hike is on good, firm ground, so hiking sticks are not required. The vast majority of people do not use hiking sticks for this hike.

However, if you like hiking with Hiking sticks/poles, or want them just in case, feel free to bring them.

During Wilderness Camping, you should not expect to have access to electric charging.

Your first good charging opportunity will be at the Bedouin Camp in Wadi Rum on night 5. You can charge your devices there until around 10pm when the camp turns the generator off for the night.

If you want extended access to electronic devices, we recommend bringing battery packs or you can also bring solar recharging devices.

We provide tents, mattresses, linens, pillows, and blankets. A sleeping bag is optional and mainly recommended for the winter season; however, please note that we do not provide sleeping bags for hygiene reasons.

Here are some things you are not allowed to bring to Jordan:
1- Drones
2- Binoculars
3- Walkie Talkies
4- Satellite Phones

This multi-day trek offers a relatively low-carbon way to travel from Petra towards Wadi Rum, with most of the journey completed on foot and vehicle use limited to essential transfers and support.

By following a remote section of the Jordan Trail, the trip helps spread tourism income beyond Jordan’s main visitor hotspots. It supports local Bedouin guides, camp teams, drivers and suppliers, while meals are prepared using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. Refillable water is also provided during the trek to help reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles.

Every small action helps. By traveling responsibly, respecting local communities and environments, and supporting local businesses, you can help us make tourism more sustainable and meaningful for everyone.
