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.
