We will arrange for you to share accommodation with another traveller of the same gender and if we cannot match you up we will provide a single room at no extra charge. If you prefer not to share a single supplement is payable to guarantee your own room. Please refer to our website for the additional cost.We use good quality 3 star hotels (and a local guesthouse), all twin share with private facilities. Please do not expect the hotels to be of a western 3 star standard. In some towns the accommodation is basic, but comfortable, clean, secure and all rooms with en suite bathrooms. Some hotels are clearly 3-4 star, and some are closer to 2-3 star, however they are chosen for their position, cleanliness and comfort.
In Wadi Rum, we stay in a Standard Tent (Bedouin Style) with ensuite bathroom and fan. At the time of booking, for an additional supplement and subject to availability (please ask our office for more details), it is possible to upgrade to a Martian Dome Tent with terrace, ensuite bathroom and air-conditioning. The Martian Dome Tents offer the unique experience of combined luxury and spectacular views. Imagine gazing at the magnificent stars from your own comfortable bed.
Wadi Rum sits on a plateau that is 900 metres above sea level. Due to changing weather patterns in recent times the weather in December, January and February (winter months) has become unpredictable. Accordingly you may experience very cold temperatures at night (down to or below 0 degrees Centigrade), plus rainy and muddy conditions. We strongly recommend that you bring extra warm clothing and waterproof clothing if travelling in the winter.
