Description
Hello and welcome! I am Momoo and I work as a Bedouin guide in the beautiful Wadi Rum desert. I have lived in Wadi Rum all of my life and I love showing people around my home here. All of us in the village are Bedouin and are proud of our way of life but I also love to meet people from different countries to learn about their culture and enjoy talking with them.
In my free time I love to drive out into the desert and enjoy the scenery there, whether talking with friends around a fire under the stars to relaxing in the shade during the hot summer months. I love having fun with all those who come to visit and hope that they are able to leave with many happy memories after staying with me, my friends and family.
You can stay with me in my camp in the desert and enjoy the full experience!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Wadi Rum is a small village where everybody knows each other, meaning that there are a lot of friends and my big family living here. We all stay true to the Bedouin way of life as much as possible and love to sit and converse in order to unwind when ever possible. From eating delicious Bedouin food to practicing your Arabic, there is plenty of culture to be experienced here.
