Bedouin have lived in Wadi Rum and surrounding desert for generations. While many bedouin choose to live in Wadi Rum Village (the only permanent settlement within the Protected Area), there are bedouin families living a nomadic life raising livestock in the desert. Bedouin who live in Wadi Rum and surrounding villages depend mainly on tourism and livestock raising as income.
You can explore our desert by bedouin jeep, camel and there are endless hiking and scrambling possibilities due to many canyons and peaks in the area.
