  Accommodation

  You will stay primarily in the village with my family, but there will be lots of opportunities to stay out in the desert at our Bedouin camp, or also with my family they're living in the desert either in a traditional goat fur tent or just out under the stars.

  What else ...

  There is much to do outside Wadi Rum as well. The village serves as an excellent starting point for seeing the many sights of Jordan, made available through the tour buses that all leave from the Wadi Rum Visitor Center. To get to Wadi Rum, the least expensive flights usually run out of Amman. To get here from Amman a taxi costs about 90 JD and a bus is only 20JD..
  And we have bus from Petra to wadi rum village. And from Amman to wadi rum village. And from aqaba to wadi rum village...
  And also I can pick you up if you don't find any transportation.
