Description
My name is Mohammed Domayan, I have grown up in the wilderness of Wadi Rum. I have the privilege of owning a desert camp made from traditional materials and catering for every kind of traveler on every kind of budget, from adventurous backpacker to adventurous families! I'm also doing different kinds of tours with tourists - hiking, scrambling, jeep and camel tours.
Offering some of the most extraordinary desert scenery you'll ever witness, Wadi Rum is the definitive highlight of any visit to Jordan. This area - made famous abroad by the exploits of T.E. Lawrence ('Lawrence of Arabia') in the early 20th century - proudly boasts a myriad of moods and dramatic colours, dictated by the changing angle of the sun. Nature's gift is our gain, with the finest climbing, hiking, camel riding, horse riding, jeep, photography and meditation options known to the Middle East. In addition, a sunset, sunrise and the explosion of stars to be seen to be believed.
