Amazing experience. Khaled was so professional and organized. Farejh, the local bedouin who drove us around the valley, was born and leaves there. He was nice and very knowledgeable about the place. He is a great driver and better guide. He also cooked delicious vegetables and brought a tasty salty cheese! Both speak perfect english. The landscape is unforgettable! Khaled recommended visiting the Nabatean Temple at the end of the tour. Thanks for this unique experience.

We had amazing time with our driver Salama, who made very delicious lunch for us in the middle of Wadi Rum. Khalid was very understanding with the time (we've got extra hour to see the mushroom rock). I came for the tour with a ad knee and the driver always made sure I have an easy way out of the truck and plenty of time to sightsee/take pictures. Offered us some tea and refreshments so they were well prepared for us. The taxi transfer option, organised by tour provider, is extremely convinient if you stay inn hotel in Aqaba. Reccomend this highly!

This trip was wonderful and memorable, thanks to Ali our guide and driver and chef for our lunch in the peaceful desert.

A great tour of Wadi Rum with our guide Jusef(not sure of spelling) but he was very informative and cooked us a delicious lunch. Wadi Rum was truly amazing and we picnicked in the desert where it seemed we were the only people there, so peaceful and tranquil. An amazing experience

A good experience with a Bedouin guide. Fantastic scenery. More communication in English would have enhanced the experience. The taxi was late arriving which caused some angst. Signs to indicate that the transfer had arrived would be a benefit at a crowded pick up point. We had an enjoyable day.

Dear James Grayson,
Thank you for sharing your experience about our full day tour in Wadi Rum. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it and I wish you all the best for the rest of your travels.
We arranged for a taxi to pick up two guests who arrived at the shuttle bus drop-off point from the cruise port in Aqaba. The taxi driver arrived 15 minutes early and successfully located the guests amidst the throngs of other passengers. At 9:15 am, the guests were en route to Wadi Rum.
We work with a taxi driver who is consistently punctual, arriving 10-15 minutes prior to the scheduled pick-up time.
Please note that our taxi transport services are exclusively available for guests staying at Aqaba city-hotels. However, we can arrange a transfer for cruise passengers upon special request, provided they are willing to meet us in the city centre.
Best regards,
Khaled and the team at Desert Eyes

Excellent tour. Highly recommended. Everything was as described. Hotel pick up and return was on time and professional. We were met at the Wadi Rum village by the tour operator and introduced to our driver. We had full day tour with stops at many wonderful sites. We were given ample time at each for photos, hiking, climbing and exploring. The lunch was prepared on site and was absolutely delicious. We ended the tour at a fantastic spot for watching the sunset. Unfortunately incoming clouds obscured the sunset. But otherwise it was a fantastic day.

Il deserto più bello del mondo. Fascino unico. La nostra guida Audi è bravissimo e ama Wadi Rum con tutta la sua anima. Visitare questo deserto può divenire una esperienza mistica. Capisce perché molte grandi religioni sono nate nel deserto.
