Sleeping under the stars, like a true Bedouin, in our desert cave is an experience that you will remember for the rest of you life. This adventure takes you back in history, when Bedouins slept in these caves while there were crossing the desert. During the night our cave is the perfect spot for stargazing, listening to the complete silence of the desert and being amazed by the sight of the Milky Way.
We will arrive at the cave after sunset. There your Bedouin guide will light a campfire and you can help him lighting the candles to light up the cave. Your guide will prepare a traditional Bedouin dinner, breakfast and of course as much Bedouin tea as you want. You can enjoy the food while learning more about traditional life in the desert and watching the stars.
To make the night of bivouac camping as comfortable as possible, we will provide you with mattresses, pillows and warm blankets. After a night under the starry ceiling, you wake up to the rising sun casting the mountains of Wadi Rum.
