Your Host: Hamad Al-Zawaideh Local Bedouin Guide | Founder of Gakleen Camp | Desert Soul Explorer My name is Hamad, and I was born and raised in the heart of Wadi Rum, where the desert is not just my home – it is my soul. I come from a Bedouin family that has lived in this land for generations, and I created Gakleen Camp to share the magic, peace, and stories of this sacred place with the world. With years of experience guiding travelers from all over the world, I offer more than tours – I offer authentic connections, spiritual insight, and a warm welcome that feels like family. I speak Arabic and English, and I’m always happy to help you plan your perfect desert experience – whether it’s a jeep tour, meditation in silence, or just sitting under the stars with tea and stories. Welcome to my home – Wadi Rum. Welcome to Gakleen Camp.

About the Area: Wadi Rum – The Desert of the Moon Wadi Rum, also known as "The Valley of the Moon", is one of the most magical and breathtaking places on Earth. Located in southern Jordan, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its dramatic landscapes – towering sandstone mountains, red sand dunes, narrow canyons, and ancient rock inscriptions. Wadi Rum is more than just a desert – it's a place of peace, silence, and deep connection to nature and spirit. Visitors often describe it as a space to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with themselves. It has also served as the filming location for several major movies, including: The Martian, Star Wars, Dune, Prometheus, and Lawrence of Arabia, adding to its cinematic beauty and global appeal. Whether you're exploring the land in a 4x4 jeep, riding a camel at sunset, hiking through ancient trails, or simply stargazing in the stillness of the night – Wadi Rum touches your soul in a way no other place can.
