WADI RUM ECO TOURS

Wadi Rum Eco Tours is the first eco-friendly tour company in the spectacular Wadi Rum UNESCO World heritage protected area.WRET was set up by a traditional Bedouin family with generations of experience surviving in this harsh but extremely beautiful area, a family dedicated to maintaining the delicate balance between nature and people enthralled by it. They are committed to proudly share their unique way of living while also giving back to the indigenous community and the other-worldly area which they come from.

Gaze in wonder at the unique rock formations that seem to sprout from the desert sands. Learn how to feed, walk and take care of your own camel. Go on long hikes through a truly unique landscape. Sleep outdoors in a desert devoid of light pollution under myriad of stars, in a traditional Bedouin camp or in a cave around a camp fire. Feast your eyes upon jaw-dropping sunrises and sunsets and explore the culinary delights of ancient nomadic people with vegetarian and vegan options always available. WRET promises you the experience of a lifetime, with the awe-inspiring vistas and sensations of a traditional desert lifestyle that will remain with you forever. As part of the tours as well as in their free time, WRET team members collect trash that others left behind in the Wadi Rum protected area.
