Description Hello, my name is Raad. My family and I run our own Bedouin camp in the majestic desert of Wadi Rum. We offer Jeep, Camel, Hot Air Balloon, and Hiking tours.
We would love some volunteers to help us with our day to day work at home and in the desert at our camp.
Also some help to create and update our websites and social media and teach me the best way to use these tools! I hope to see you soon! :D

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
All our volunteers are treated as a part of my large family which will give you a great impression of the traditional Bedouin lifestyle, The children are always eager to teach you some words in Arabic. I also encourage you to explore Wadi Rum village and to join in on our desert tours where you will meet people from all over the world and learn from the guides all about the long history and interesting way of life we lead!
Ayuda
As a Bedouin I learned to speak English from the tourists. It`s enough for a normal conversation, but not to read and write properly, as I would like to. I would be grateful to find volunteers who can help me to improve my English. Volunteers main tasks would be helping in and around the house, care for our animals and garden as well as cleaning after tours. Help with online media marketing also would be useful!

Our stay with Raad was just wonderfull! He is caring, always listening and explaining everything. He also showed us his favorites places in the desert and we barbecued several times. We really got to live the authentic bedouin experience and it was really great! Raad is really a great and super nice guy. When you will choose to stay with him you… read more

If you’re looking for a great adventure in a very special place, I highly recommend staying with Raad in Wadi Rum! He is a very social and welcoming host, and a great jeep driver in the desert sand : ) Along with his large and caring family, I was taken well care of when I stayed with them for two weeks - a few months before the current pandemic… read more broke out. They provided me with three excellent meals a day. Half the time, I stayed in their characteristic village of camels, jeeps, and a few hundred inhabitants. I slept and ate in a large air conditioned room, which during the day was used to welcome tourists heading for the desert camp, and for the family to watch football about once a week. On other days, I slept in the campsite in the red desert, where I had my own tent, and was given meals cooked the Bedouin way: beneath the desert sand. On a few starry, starry nights a camp fire was lit. I was taken on two jeep tours through the magnificent red and white deserts. On the second, I even got to guide some of the guests on a few short rock climbing routes. I also made hundreds of photos, many of which can now be found on the campsite’s website, which I redesigned, and optimized further technically. Since wifi was not always available in the desert, despite Raad doing his best to provide me with it, I decided to work for a while longer back home in Holland, restructuring the website, improving SEO, adding info for search engines, internal and external links, uploading many of my own pictures, and so on. Web traffic quickly increased as a result. In Wadi Rum, I also answered messages on social media, improved the Booking page, and invited an influencer to the campsite for extra exposure. I also did some chores like cleaning up the garden and made sure no rubbish was left in the UNESCO protected landscape, which once hosted Lawrence of Arabia. (Do watch the movie!) Guests came from all over the world. With many of them I’ve had excellent conversations and became friends with a number of them. In the village, I befriended two other Workawayers who happened to be hosted by the neighbors. We made a few walks towards a Nabatean ruin, and up the rocky hills surrounding the village to an uphill water spring. They later told me they held a small photo exhibition in Austria of some of the pictures I had taken! All in all, an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend workawaying with Raad in Wadi Rum! Shukran jazilan, Raad!

Had a fantastic experience with Raad in Wadi Rum! He and his family and friends are incredibly welcoming, kind and generous. Work was not stressful, uncomplicated and everything needed was between myself and my friend we helped clean up the animal pens, did some work in the desert camp, mostly building and some maintenance and then also some work… read more

I had a great experience in the Desert, in Wadi Rum. I spent only a few days in the camp and helped to sort, clean the tents and help tourists feel comfortable as at home. Thanks to this wonderful group of work, and for showing me a part of their life, and of course, thanks for the hospitality...

I had a really nice time with Raad! I got to see how the families in Wadi Rum live and also try it out for myself. Raad was really cool and let me have a lot of time off. He showed me a lot of the different camps, brought me out for my first camel ride, showed me his family and much more.
I had to leave before because of personal problems at home… read more

Staying at raad's camp will leave you fulfilled with hospitality and cultural Immersion. However do keep in mind that you are in the Middle of the desert so dont forget to bring a good book because if you stay for more than a week some days will pass very slowly.
We really enjoy our stay, and were able also to meet with all the lovely guests and… read more

Raad is a very kind, funny and friendly guy. I stayed with him for a week this February and enjoyed it very very much. Texting with costumers, going on desert tours with tourists and easy work around the camp where my main tasks.

I stayed with Raad in Wadi Rum for 1 week, and it was a fantastic experience! I made a new video for his camp, along with editing and updating his website, and helping to update his booking.com account.
I was able to join onto 2 separate full day tours of Wadi Rum with guests, and used the rest of my time to edit the videos.
Raad has an amazing… read more

I had a great time in Wadi Rum. Originally I went there to help Raad with setting up websites, but I eventually ended up doing all sorts of stuff, though I never was made to do something I didn't want to. I spent most of my time in Raads camp in the desert of Wadi Rum, and just sometimes went to the village to work on his laptop. Besides getting… read more

Raad and his family are very hospitable and welcoming! We spent only one week there (definitely could go for more :D) but it was an incredible time and we had much fun!
Basically we helped with the internet issues/homepages, tourist and some things at the camp itself. We spend the nights in the camp having dinner and breakfast there and go back to… read more

I had an incredible time with Raad and his family in Wadi Rum. They are such wonderful and welcoming people! Wadi Rum is a unique place and it was hard to realize the view up to those breathtaking huge rocks, which I saw every morning after stepping out of my sleeping room or tent. I could either stay in the desert camp or in the village house.… read more
