🐪 Camel Trekking

About This Adventure

Camels have an extraordinary gift for looking at you like you are the weird one, and a camel trek through Wadi Rum will give you plenty of time to reckon with that gaze. They are, nonetheless, magnificent animals — surprisingly tall in the saddle, surprisingly smooth on flat desert, and capable of carrying a fully loaded tourist for hours without complaint.

Routes typically pass through soft dune areas and along canyon bases where the rock walls provide natural shade. Bedouin handlers walk alongside or ride a lead camel, setting a pace that feels simultaneously ancient and completely unhurried.

The saddle is padded but firm — expect mild inner thigh soreness the next day if you go longer than an hour. Consider this the authentic Jordan experience surcharge.
