The office of Wadi Rum Mountain Guides is in the village of Rum, just opposite the main mosque and the Post Office there. There are no real office hours, and unless we are expecting you it is unlikely that anybody will be there.

Our office phone number is +962.795.899.723 (or 0795.899.723 from inside Jordan). This number should always be answered by somebody speaking English.

When you make a reservation please note the page about "Private Tours".

You can reach us by email at bedouinroads@yahoo.com or by fax at +962.3.203.2651. But please do NOT rely on email at the last moment. Internet in Wadi Rum is always uncertain, sometimes we are unable to log in for several days. And we very often sleep in the desert so cannot check email either in the evening or in the early morning. If you want to say "we are arriving tomorrow" (you will be very welcome!) please say it by telephone to 0795.899.723.

Please note also that when you send an email or fax we ask you to state as simply and as concisely as possible what you desire. (We were completely stopped recently by the phrase "dairy products" for instance. We had no idea what was meant!). We have a secretary who speaks excellent English but she isn't always here, and when we have to reply ourselves, we sometimes panic! We have no problem in SPEAKING English, but we have less practice in reading and writing it. Please help us!

We should like to warn you too about booking by phone if you can possibly avoid it. We are happy to answer any questions by phone about the tours, but we might be half way up a mountain, out shopping, in a meeting, stuck in a traffic jam or in a number of situations where we cannot make an immediate note of a firm booking and then quite often we are in trouble!! Please ALWAYS confirm by email.

The office keeps us straight, but the number of bookings does mean that we find it difficult to keep track by phone. A written reservation means that everybody is happy, not to mention that it is required by the rules of the Nature Reserve....

If you need to write to us, our address is PO Box 2496, Aqaba, Jordan.
