Don't do it. At least until the end of the war

MariaLujan_F, Apr 2026

Understanding that we are living through a complex situation with the war, I must say I felt very frustrated with this activity. Upon arrival, the guide took me to his house, and he and his brother began explaining that they earn very little of what one pays through Viator, that I was traveling alone, and that there were no other people in the desert because of the war. They gave me different options, all of them requiring an extra payment (in addition to the $50 I had already paid). Even if I agreed to stay overnight at his house with his family, he expected me to pay 25 JOD on top of what we had agreed upon. It was an uncomfortable situation that could have been avoided because we had been in contact in the days prior, and he never mentioned anything about this. He could have given me the option of booking another tour. Being a woman, alone, in his house, I found it very difficult to deal with being asked for more money for everything, and all I could do was ask them to take me to the desert and leave me to walk alone during the day. Even though I had paid for dinner, breakfast, transportation, and an overnight stay in a Bedouin camp, they offered me tea, but I had to pay for even the water they took me on the hike. I really enjoyed the desert; the part the guide explained was good, but together we only saw Lawrence Spring and the first canyon. In short, I didn't spend the night in the desert and didn't see many places because they didn't take me. I didn't find their way of doing things fair. I paid $50 for a cup of tea and minimal transportation within Wadi Rum.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and understand how you felt. We would like to clarify that the current situation in the region is very difficult due to the ongoing security conditions, which have significantly affected tourism. On many days, there are almost no bookings. Our tours are usually organized in groups, where costs are shared to cover the full service. However, when a guest is traveling अके, the standard price does not fully cover the actual costs. Regarding the tea, it is a traditional Bedouin gesture of hospitality offered from the heart to all our guests, free of charge. We also took you on a tour in Wadi Rum and provided explanations about the places we visited. We are sorry if the experience did not meet your expectations. Our intention was to explain the available options under these challenging circumstances, not to make you feel uncomfortable. We wish you more enjoyable experiences in the future 🌿
