Under the Stars

Under the Stars

Before Bedouins made the goat hair tents you see scattered all over Wadi Rum, they used to sleep in caves. For a romantic night under the stars that is safe from the elements, you can sleep in a comfortable, candle-lit cave complete with a delicious traditional sand-cooked meal.

Out here in the desert we leave the light-pollution of the city far behind and delight in a night sky that will reveal itself to you in all its glory. This unique once-in-a-lifetime experience will take you back to a prehistoric way of living without missing all of the comforts of home you are used to.
