Ever wondered what it is like to live in the desert? Disconnected from the world, immersed in one of the most incredible natural wonders of our planet? Or maybe you wonder what living on Mars would be like? Whichever one it may be, Magic Bedouin Star is here to let you experience it all, while soaking in the Bedouin culture and traditions. Come stay with us, taste our traditional tea and food and spend the night stargazing around a campfire. Our traditional Bedouin tents are made out of sheep hair, which allows them to keep the warmth in during the chilly desert nights. Each one is carpeted, has a lock on the door, electricity and a window for desert viewing. Our tents are traditionally simple yet provide you with a comfortable night's rest. All of our tents are equipped with locks on the doors, a window for the greatest desert view, electricity and beds with linens, pillows and enough blankets to keep warm on starry nights in the desert. Our large common tent is the hang-out spot, where our guests relax, dance around the fire and share many stories and laughter. Here we also serve traditional Bedouin tea, breakfast and a traditional underground cooked dinner called "Zard", which are all included in your stay with us! We also have an outdoor campfire area where our guests can keep warm while stargazing! Bathroom facilities are available on-site (toilets and hot-water showers), all within close proximity to the tents. At Magic Bedouin Star we offer a variety of tours in the Wadi Rum Protected Area. Each tour aims to maximise your time in the Wadi Rum desert and can be tailored to your specific needs. Our English-speaking Bedouin guides will join you on all of your trips, share their knowledge with you and ensure all your questions are answered. We offer jeep tours, camel tours, sunrise and sunset tours, and also overnight packages.
