Description
Hi! I am Khaled and I come from a Bedouin family in Wadi Rum, a beautiful desert in the South of Jordan.

I have a Bedouin camp in the desert and together with my team I offer tours through the - whether on camel, by foot or by jeep, whether short day trips or week-long expeditions.

Our Camp is an intimate, private camp with clean washroom facilities. We offer various styles of sleeping accommodations. We are recommended in several prominent tour guides and have many guests from all over the world coming to us every year.

The natural beauty of Wadi Rum attracts many people - for us it is especially important to keep the place as natural and unspoiled as possible. The desert is our home and we want to preserve it - which is why we are very careful to keep the desert clean and keep pollution out when tourists come in - so that this magical place will be there to see for many generations to come.

I've spent two weeks at the camp back in November 2018, and I can safely say this stay was the highlight of my volunteering trip!
The work is mostly helping in the kitchen and cleaning, but you can be asked to help with construction is there's any going in the camp.
The camp itself is situated in the protected area of Wadi Rum, and it's one of… read more

Thanks a lot for your hospitality Khaled! I had a great time with the boys in the dessert. Work was cleaning, not too much but enough to keep you busy. The area of the camp is gorgeous though.

Katharina stayed with us for almost one month and it was a pleasure to have her in our team. She is a hard worker and helped with cleaning the camp site, cooking food and she got involved in expanding the camp and building new tents. She was very good with our international guests. Her positive mindset was liked by everyone in the team. I can… read more

I wanted to stay for 2-3 and finally stayed almost a month and I think I would have stayed longer if I wouldn’t have had to continue with my travel. Wadi Rum itself is a magical place to me and being hosted by Khaled and his team made it even better. I helped with preparing food for tourists, cleaning the camp site and was involved in the… read more

Thank you Khaled and everybody for your hospitality
However it was a quiet period (hot and Ramadan) so there was not much to do for us
We planned to stay 2 weeks and we finally stayed 3 days...
If you want to be useful I only recommand to make sure it is a touristic period and you will have enough work
This apart, Wadi Rum is an amazing place… read more

Michael stayed with our team for two weeks and it was a pleasure to have him. He helped with a variety of jobs and created a website for our tours/camp. He is always positive, very hard working, easy to get along with and loves sharing his music with others. Michael is welcome back to our Bedouin Camp anytime. I can highly recommend him to any… read more

I highly recommend helping Khaled & his team if you are in Wadi Rum!! I spent about 2 weeks in August 2016 with Khaled helping to edit his websites. The work is mainly editing, creating Ads and getting the word out about his amazing camp! Wadi Rum is gorgeous and I basically picked a different direction everyday to explore (before it became too… read more

Me and my Girlfriend spent two weeks with Khaled, Nawaf and Raed in February. This was our first stop of a 2 month trip and to be honest I wish we would have ended there, because they set the bar way to high for the rest of our trip. They were awesome! Their hospitality, genuine kindness and open hearts are something of a rare treasure. We got our… read more

I have spent about a month with Khaled and his family and I can't find any word to describe how beautiful experience it was. The camp is located about 10 km far from Rum Village, with a stunning panorama at any time of the day. Khaled, together with Suleyman is one of the manager and he will be your supervisor: as long as you work and you keep a… read more

I stayed with Khaled for a couple of weeks in the summer. It was a truly mesmerizing experience! I was able to learn about Bedouin cuisine thanks to my friends in the desert. Also, Khaled has a good heart and is well respected in the village which means you often find yourself receiving warm welcomes when meeting other Bedouins. The camp itself is… read more

Khaled and the guys are an awesome time. The work is very reasonable and the experience to live with Bedouin in the desert is absolutely priceless. I was able to learn the ways of the Bedouin and some important Arabic during my 2 weeks in camp. The entire crew is made up of my brothers. They made me feel amazing and more than welcome. Thanks… read more
