We joined the Stargazing Adventure in Jordan in early July 2026, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! The experience was fascinating from start to finish, and you definitely don't need any prior knowledge of astronomy to enjoy it. Everything was explained in a simple, engaging, and accessible way. A very special thanks to our host, who did an amazing job. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and funny, keeping everyone engaged throughout the evening. He made complex topics easy to understand and turned the night into both an educational and entertaining experience. If you're visiting Jordan, don't miss this experience. Looking up at the desert sky with such a great guide is something you'll remember for a long time. Highly recommended! 🌌✨
wonderful experience! learned a lot from our guide and saw a lot even tho it was a full moon.
We joined a Stargazing Experience in Wadi Rum, and it turned out to be one of the most fascinating parts of our trip. It started with a lecture that was incredibly engaging — not a single moment felt boring. The way everything was explained kept us curious the entire time and made even complex things feel simple and exciting. After that, we stepped outside for a real experience under the open sky, and it was just magical. Being surrounded by the desert, with such a clear sky above, made everything we had just learned feel real. And then the telescopes… seeing the sky through them was absolutely mind-blowing. So much new information, so many discoveries — it was truly captivating from beginning to end.
One of the best experiences I ever did! A must do if you’re ever in Wadi Rum! Thank you Fakhri and Muthana for the interesting information and friendly conversation ❤️ and thank you for the best birthday picture ever 🥳
It was a great experience that I had with my family, thank you rumsky you were amazing, precise and professional, my night was wonderful and I've seen the sky from another perspective. My son who is 10 yrs old is interested in astronomy and he told me to visit rumsky every single night to explore more and to know more about our universe. Welcoming was warm and the operator was very kind to me and the family, then we met the astronomer "almothanna", that guy was very friendly, professional, and it is obvious that he loves his job. I will revisit them as soon as possible and believe me "if you are reading this " that YOU WON'T REGRET TRYING THIS ACTIVITY IN WADI RUM. again, THANK YOU RUMSKY 🤗🤗🤗
Definitely a highlight of our trip. With 4 telescopes set up, everyone was able to see and enjoy the incredible night sky. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly.
I highly recommend this activity. On arrival, you're in a warm tent with hot drinks, followed by a very informative presentation. You then get to see the stars with excellent telescopes, and they use pointers, so you know exactly which stars they are talking about. Mahmoud and Marah were the astronomers that night, and they were excellent, very knowledgeable, and so enthusiastic and excited that it made our experience unforgettable.
This was a fantastic experience beyond my expectations. When I heard we were going to stargaze I thought someone would simply take us out to look at the stars with our own eyes. Actually we received a guided telescopic tour of the galaxies, with Fakhri (astralphotographer) giving an entertaining lesson throughout.
fakhri was a very good host with a great sense of humour, English speaking which was great for us . We had a full moon and cloud which made it a little limited but what we were able to see was well explained and factual . All in all a good experience but check the moon is not full before booking , can’t do much about the clouds 😂
We had a great evening seeing the stars, Fakhri our guide got us outside straight away as he was concerned we may have cloud cover and didn't want us to miss anything - we had a fantastic experience Thank - you !
