Prefer to experience Wadi Rum like a local rather than a visitor? Then this three-hour program is for you! Instead of just looking at the desert from a tour truck, you will spend the afternoon learning about the traditions, hospitality, and daily life directly from the people who live here.

Your visit starts around an open fire with a warm welcome and a cup of traditional Bedouin tea. You will meet local women who will share stories about their heritage while showing you exactly how they knead dough and bake traditional bread under the desert sand using traditional techniques. Next, you will sit down together to enjoy a fresh, homemade Bedouin lunch made with local ingredients. After the meal, a local woman will apply traditional henna art to your hands, using designs inspired by their culture.

Throughout the afternoon, you will have plenty of time to relax, ask questions, take photos, and chat with your hosts. This is a real look into modern Bedouin life and a great opportunity to connect with the local community during your travels.
