and I want to share how a last-minute plan turned into one of my favorite weekends in Wadi Rum.
I reached out to Zoor just a couple of days before my friend arrived, expecting availability to be impossible. Instead, they replied instantly and arranged everything within hours. No stress, no complications, just smooth planning from the start!

Day One: Sand, Tea, and a Thousand Photos
Day One: Sand, Tea, and a Thousand Photos
Zoor met us at the main road, took our bags to the camp, and began our desert tour.
We kicked off with sandboarding (way more fun than I expected), then enjoyed traditional tea and visited a small Bedouin shop where we picked up kuffiyehs and scarves.
Our guide made the day even better. His English was great, he explained everything clearly for my guest, and he turned into our personal photographer, taking some of the coolest pictures I’ve ever had in Wadi Rum.
We ended the day with a beautiful sunset camel ride, perfectly timed and incredibly peaceful.

As someone from Jordan who has been to Wadi Rum many times, this trip reminded me how special it can feel when it’s done right.

THE 2000 YEAR OLD TRAVEL ROUTES USED BY BEDOUINS TODAY
Most people know Wadi Rum for its Mars-like landscape, iconic sandstone formations, and the classic scenes from The Martian and Dune. But what many don’t realize is that this desert has a more unexpected side, one that reveals itself only when you go beyond the main lookouts and tourist stops with the locals…

The next morning, we headed out on a buggy tour deep into the desert.
Our guide stopped often for photos and shared stories that brought the landscape to life. After lunch, our ride back to the main road was waiting, and Zoor even tried arranging a hot air balloon for us, though the weather didn’t allow it.

What impressed me most was how fast and organized everything was. Last-minute trips are usually stressful, but Zoor handled every detail with care and quick replies. And for the quality of service, the pricing was more than fair.
