The Experience

I am a Bedouin working with tourists for 25 years. I need someone who can be the link between our local guides and our visitors. The volunteer will live among the Bedouins, so he will know both cultural perspectives (of the locals and of tourists), and will join our tours and help our local guides to better inform the visitors about the desert of Wadi Rum. After the volunteer will already know the desert, he will let the tourists know about it

Working within Wad the camping was a once in a lifetime experience I will always cherish and remember. The bedouin people are some of the purest souls that exist on this earth and working with them, getting to know them on a personal level was an absolute privilege. Saying that this is not an experience for beginners, you will be sleeping on a mat, the front door didn't lock, you will wash out of a bucket, depending on the time of year your workload is low and unfortunately I had an uncomfortable experience with Eid as a solo female and boundaries that made me feel I should leave earlier than planned.
