Authentic Bedouin Experience at Nomad Heights Wadi Rum

We are the Bedouin of Wadi Rum, living among its mountains and dunes, carrying in our hearts the true spirit of the desert. For generations, we have learned from our ancestors the simple life of the Bedouins — their hospitality, their love for sharing the beauty of the desert, and the richness of their traditions that reflect the essence of Bedouin culture.

At Nomad Heights, our accommodations offer a genuine desert experience for those seeking calm, adventure, and inner peace. Here, far from city noise, artificial lights, and the internet, every moment is lived in its purest form — just as the Bedouins lived it centuries ago.

Spend the night under the star-filled sky, where the wind whispers, silence is a refuge, and nature becomes your companion. Each night’s stay at Nomad Heights is not just sleep, but a restoration of the soul, a calm for the mind, and a reconnection with the simple, authentic beauty of life that defines the Wadi Rum desert experience.

We also provide an immersive cultural experience: savor Bedouin food cooked over the fire, enjoy traditional Bedouin tea, and gather around the campfire for evenings filled with stories and traditions that come alive as they have for generations.

Our experience is more than a journey into the desert — it’s a journey within yourself. An opportunity to contemplate the vast sky, touch the stars, and feel the true spirit of the desert. Every detail of your stay at Nomad Heights is designed to give you freedom, relaxation, and a deep connection to nature.

At Nomad Heights, we believe the true desert experience stays in your memory forever — an experience that restores your energy, fills your heart with peace, and lets you live as the Bedouins once did: freely, simply, and authentically.

Meet Freij – Your Bedouin Host in Wadi Rum

Hello — welcome to the Wadi Rum desert. My name is Freij, and I was born and raised among the red mountains of Wadi Rum, a place where silence has a voice and every sunrise paints a new story across the sand. For generations, my family has embraced the Bedouin culture, living a simple, peaceful life that is deeply connected to nature. I grew up exploring every corner of these valleys, climbing the rocks, cooking over open fires, and sleeping beneath the stars. When I host guests from around the world, my goal is simple: to let you feel the real spirit of the desert — not as a tourist, but as a friend. Whether you join me for a jeep tour, a mountain climb, or a night under the stars at Nomad Heights accommodations, you’ll experience the Bedouin traditions that have been passed down for centuries — hospitality, warmth, and freedom. I’ll prepare tea the traditional way, share stories from the desert, and guide you to secret spots only locals know. Here, you’ll disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself. Welcome to my home — the heart of Wadi Rum.
