It was my first volunteering experience, and I really enjoyed everything overall. The hospitality of Bedouins is just amazing; they really make you feel like you are at home. They are open to socializing with foreigners, which makes everything much easier. Raed and his family help you experience Bedouin life as much as they can. I had the chance to attend 2 Bedouin weddings, herd sheep, try different foods and drinks like camel milk, the camping in the desert, hike in the mountains, watch camel racing, do safari tours, etc., thanks to them. Tasks were not that hard and I had many free days.

I had an unforgettable time at the camping. I was warmly welcomed and even invited to two traditional Bedouin weddings. the camping is peaceful, with amazing desert views, campfires, conversations, and authentic Bedouin tea. The volunteer tasks are easy (up to 3 hours a day), leaving plenty of free time. The best part was joining their environmental initiative, collecting litter left by tourists in the desert. I was honored to receive a certificate for this extra volunteer work. Truly grateful!

I had an amazing experience living with the Bedouin brothers, they made me a part of their family quickly, the tasks were simple, and if you have any doubt they can help you to say what to do. You gonna find people from everywhere, and immerse in a Bedouin life in beautiful wadi rum desert. At nights you seat front of fire looking the amazing sky full of stars. I'm just thankful for the time I had there, hope find them again someday, for sure I'll never forget the moments in the camping

I don't have enough words to thank this guys for everything. I will miss everyone and everything we did, the food, playing Uno with the guests, dancing every night, taking care of the camels, the riddles. It was amazing. They make you feel like home. If you have any doubt or questions, they will tell you what and how to do it, the tasks were not hard at all and you have plenty of free time during the day and in the evening you get to prepare everything for the guests arrival and enjoy the night with this amazing brothers. I will definitely come back in the future. شكراً

Had a great time at the camping for 2 weeks, Raed and all his family were very welcoming and friendly. The area is beautiful, life in the camping is very relaxed, the food was delicious and tasks were simple and easy. Lots of people come through the camping every few days so it's easy to meet people from all over the world. Highly recommend

It's so great to hear that you had an amazing time at the camp! And don't even get me started on the stunning scenery and relaxed atmosphere. It's like a whole other world out there!
We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food - it's definitely one of our highlights, too! And we're glad that the tasks were easy-peasy for you. We want our volunteers to enjoy themselves and have a good time, after all.
And you're totally right about the people coming through camp - it's like a little melting pot of cultures and experiences. We love that about it.
Thanks so much for volunteering with us, Sam! We hope to see you back here soon for more camel adventures and good times.
Cheers!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was absolutely amazing! Upon arriving, I was immediately welcomed and treated like family by Raed and his brothers. The work is straightforward and simple so there is quite a lot of downtime for me to explore and take in the beauty of the desert. Working here also gave me an opportunity to interact and build relationships with the locals as well as travellers from all over the world. Thank you Raed!

I spent two weeks inthe the camping. Since when I am arrived they make me feel part of the family. The work is not hard, and you have time to chill, relax and explore the desert. During the night there are usually many tourists, and we spent the evenigs all together playing cards around the fire, dancing beduin typical dances and watching the stars. During my volunteering I also joined a jeep tour and I went to watch a Camel race. I can say itn was the best experience I had in Jordan! Thank you again Raead and to all of your family!

it's so awesome to hear that you had an amazing time at our camp. We loved having you here and you really became a part of our family. I'm glad you found the work easy, we try to make it as relaxed as possible so our volunteers can also have time to explore and chill in the desert.
Our evening activities are always lit, right? Dancing and playing cards around the fire, gazing at the stars, it's all a vibe. I'm happy you had the chance to experience some Bedouin culture, and I hope you have some new moves to show off when you get back home.
And jeep tours and camel races? Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about! It's great to hear that you enjoyed them as much as we do. We always want our volunteers to have the best experience in Jordan, and it looks like we succeeded with you.
Thanks so much for your kind words and for being a part of our Wadi Rum Magic Nature Camp family. Love you too, man! Come back and visit us soon, we'll keep the fire burning for you.
Cheers,
Raead and the whole family

I had the best time volunteering with the guys at Wadi Rum! Raed and his brothers were so lovely and hospitable - we had delicious meals provided every day and a comfy bed to sleep in. The work was easily manageable and I got to join a jeep tour of the desert and sleep under the stars. Shukran Raed for an amazing experience!
