Camel Ride

Riding on Camels will take you back to ancient times. To the era when salesmen and knights followed the Nabatean spice routes to their next post. Times when your wellbeing and survival depended on the wellbeing of your mount. In the desert of Wadi Rum the Bedouin people still live as they have been doing for centuries. They still wander through the desert looking for the best places to herd their sheep and goats, carrying their black tents with them wherever they go. We invite you to come along with us on a journey back in time. Apart from a ten days camel-ride in Wadi Rum, Hummaima, Wadi Araba and Beer Hamad, you will also visit the rose-red city of Petra and other highlights of the Jordanian culture and history.

Bedouin Roads

The "Bedouin Roads" are some of the glories of climbing in Wadi Rum. They are the traditional ways used by the Bedouin to penetrate the interior and the summits of those sandstone massifs. Many of them are incredibly ancient and certainly date back to Thamudic times, quite possibly before then. Some of them have been "lost" through lack of usage (many of them were only used by certain families) and lie out there waiting to be "discovered" by adventurous mountaineers today - I'm not joking or exaggerating!

They were used by hunters, by gatherers of medical plants or by foragers for the sweet grass still growing on the mountains in the dry summers. They were used by lookouts in times of inter-tribal tensions - and they were used by people just wanting to get away from the others, as they are sometimes used today....

Jordan Harbour

An old stone trestle bridge spanning Jordan Harbour. One end remains intact while several freestanding columns rise from Twenty Mile Creek. While most climbs here are bolt protected one at least was led on natural gear to gain the top of the first freestanding column.

Horse Ride

Riding on horseback will take you back to ancient times. To the era when merchants and adventurers followed the Nabatean spice routes. Their wellbeing and survival often depended then on the wellbeing of your mount. In the desert of Wadi Rum the Bedouin people still live as they have been doing for centuries. They still wander through the desert looking for the best places to herd their sheep and goats, carrying their black tents with them wherever they go. We invite you to come along with us on a journey back in time.
