Meet Our Family
Bedouin are traditionally nomadic tribes living in the desert. Bedouin (Arabic: بَدْو), comes from the Arabic word badawī which translates to ‘desert dwellers’.
Wadi Rum is home to Bedouin of the Zalabieh tribe. Until the recent increase in tourism, they led nomadic lives, relying on their animal herds. This tribe is responsible for developing Wadi Rum as a tourist destination, providing authentic desert experiences. They operate many of the jeep and camel tours, working as guides, trekkers and climbers. The village of Wadi Rum consists of several hundred inhabitants, concrete homes, goat-hair tents, one school for boys and one school for girls, medical centre, a few shops, restaurants and mechanics.
