Apart from the daily activities, you can participate in spiritual classes to enhance your spiritual skills and gifts.

You will also be treated to three wholesome meals and snacks daily, prepared to nourish your body and soul.

Experience a transformative journey that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and empowered. Book your stay at the Bedouin Yoga Camp and embark on an adventure of self-discovery in the magical desert of Wadi Rum.

Daily Journey

Picture yourself arriving at the Bedouin Yoga Camp in Wadi Rum, Jordan, with the sun shining brightly above you. As you check-in at 2 p.m., you’re welcomed with open arms by the friendly staff. If you arrive early, you can relax in the lounge or take an extra tour to explore the breathtaking surroundings.

You notice that the retreat center has a diverse range of classes and activities on offer, and you’re excited to join two for free today. You can choose from yoga, meditation, or other activities to get your retreat experience started.

The next day, you wake up early to participate in a morning activity and meditation session. The experience leaves you feeling relaxed, centered, and ready for the day ahead. After a hearty breakfast, you attend a healing meditation or session, which rejuvenates your mind and body.

You have free time to relax and enjoy nature, read a book, or explore the surroundings. Later in the day, you join an activity, which could be anything from a spiritual class to a trek in the desert. You can also choose to participate in a different package, depending on your interests.

As the day comes to an end, you sit down for a delicious dinner, and if you’re up for it, you can join the chanting and bonfire session, which takes place every now and then. This experience is optional but worth it if you want to soak up the unique atmosphere.

On the last day, after breakfast, you have the option to take an extra camel ride to the village and explore more of the local culture. After that, it’s time to say goodbye to your newfound friends and the beautiful desert.

Keep in mind that the program might change due to weather conditions, but the retreats are led by different teachers, so you’re sure to have an enriching and unique experience every time.

Food

You’ll be treated to three delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals per day, along with traditional Middle Eastern food. Indulge in falafel, hummus, chicken, rice, fish, eggs, potatoes, and eggplants, among other mouth-watering options.

While a vegan kitchen might be challenging in the desert, the kitchen staff is committed to providing the best options possible. They’ll go the extra mile to accommodate any dietary requirements you might have.

You can look forward to a hearty breakfast, a satisfying lunch, and a mouth-watering dinner, all included in your package. You’ll also have access to refreshing drinks like water, coffee, and tea.

The kitchen caters to all dietary requirements, including vegetarian and halal. No matter what your dietary preferences are, you’ll be well taken care of and satisfied with the range of delicious options on offer.

Accommodation

Indulge in the authentic experience of staying in a traditional Bedouin tent. Each tent comes equipped with two comfortable beds, which can be arranged as either a double or twin combination. Additionally, you’ll find pillows, blankets, and extra blankets to keep you warm during chilly desert nights in Spring and Autumn. While there is ample lighting available, please be mindful that our camp is eco-friendly and relies solely on solar power. Our showers are heated by the sun, so you can enjoy a hot and refreshing shower after a long day of exploration.

Our sustainable camp is powered by solar energy, and we take pride in being environmentally conscious. As such, we provide blankets, pillows, bed linen, and towels for your comfort, but we ask that you refrain from using a hairdryer during your stay. To further reduce waste, we encourage guests to bring refillable bottles for hot and cold beverages. While we offer a spot to recharge your electronic devices, we kindly request that you use this amenity only when absolutely necessary.

Our traditional Bedouin tents boast a cozy and comfortable interior, complete with fireplaces both inside and around the camp. You’ll have access to countless trekking paths to immerse yourself in the desert environment, and plenty of meditation spots to connect with your surroundings. Our shared facilities include hot showers, which are powered by solar energy. We take pride in our efforts to minimize waste and restore water to nature, so we kindly ask that you respect these initiatives during your stay.

Please note that our eco-camp does not permit the use of hairdryers due to their high energy consumption. We offer a variety of accommodations, including a shared triple room for 807 euros per person, a shared twin room for 904 euros per person, a private single room for 1069 euros, and a private double room for 1711 euros per two people. With safe drinking water available, you can relax and enjoy your stay with us.
