    Amazing experience
    We really enjoyed the star gazing experience! We got a chance to see Jupiter and Saturn very clearly through the telescopes. You get a lot of interesting information about the stars you see in the sky!

    Amazing trip ‎‏And master Fakhri is professional to explain everything about the Planets and star’s. The sky was clear to see a lot of stars Because there is no moon. We saw Mars. And he show us North Star to be able to determine the directions in the sky.

    Rum like never before
    We visited Rum several times but this one was really different with the amazing stargazing time at Rumsky. The sky was blue, then Fakhri happened. Big thanks to Mr. Rasheed for the well-managed job.

    Must do Activity in Wadi Rum
    Star Gazing at Rum stargazing is a must do Activity .. it gives u immense knowledge about our universe .. it teaches u a lot and it's not boring .. Professor Rami has lot of knowledge about the stars and the universe .. They give u free pick up and drop from Ur resort .. They are very honest as well .. we left our camera at their centre and when v called they confirmed to my relief that it was there .. Professor Rami even dropped it to my resort by walking all the way .. truly touched by this gesture .. Thank U Prof Rami and all at Rum Stargazing..

    Amazing and unforgettable experience
    This was an absolutely amazing experience. Fakhri al Ameri is funny, knowledgeable, inspiring and extremely entertaining. He was so great with our huge group of starters, he coordinated our session beautifully so that everyone got a really good go on the telescopes. He gave lots of interesting and relevant information and he made time to answer a lot, of sometimes annoying, questions! Great experience, great guy, great telescopes, great skies and some absolutely great memories.

    Star Gazing at Wadi Rum
    The experience was good. Would have been better if it was a moonless night. Just one point I need to highlight. They told us that we could request for the group photos that they took at the end of the tour. I dropped them a request but they send me the photos of another group taken on another day. I wrote back to inform them and request for the correct photos. They never bothered to reply.

    The best decision of our Jordan Trip!
    We can't emphasize enough how good the tour and the people are! We stayed in Aqaba and asked them to arrange for transport from our resort to Wadi Rum, tour of wadi rum, Dinner and Star Gazing experience... and they delivered! the highlight obviously was the star gazing experience which is done with a sense of humour and depth of knowledge. Just standing out in the open there without any lights and staring into the sky is an just amazing! Fakhri Alalami, the astro-photographer plus scuba diver plus a lot more!, is an amazing friend to take you on this journey! It's a definite must do - you will appreciate our universe more!

    Amazing experience
    Rum Sky Observatory was 2min by car from the Bedouin Camp where we were staying. We had a night with clear sky and the stars were so bright! We sat on the sand with candles around us while stars and constellations were shown and explained to us. We have seen stars and galaxies through the telescopes and then we took a group photo which was sent to us via e-mail! Is an experience you shouldn't miss if you go to Wadi Rum!

Had the most amazing and unforgettable experience with this Rumsky Adventure. The whole activity was well organized, and well informed. They took good care of us by arranging thick wear for us to wear to protect us from the cold. We watch a short introductory first, then lead to the open air and the guy (sorry, I missed his name) was so good and knowledgeable and entertaining! He used the laser pointer to show us the stars and everybody also got a chance to look through the telecopes. We were blessed with a beautiful clear night and thoroughly enjoyed this adventure!
Highly recommended.

It was a very enjoyable experience, starting off by wearing Bedouin costs to keep us warm. After an informative introduction video we looked at various constellations through 4 telescopes and then had another session looking at the starts with the naked eye. It was a very informative session but also an entertaining one. Rumsky is run by professionals who care about what they are doing

Thank you RumSky! In the desert there is plenty of classic experiences that are a must-to-do, like wandering on camel or on 4x4 taking nice pictures having good food underground cooked and so on. Honestly I was not expecting to get an invite for something new, cultural, with young and competent persons who love what they do. What a nice surprise this 'desert 4.0', thanks!

While we where staying in Wadi Rum we have found out that there is this great observatory. We have decided to visit and night was amazing. Guy who was giving “lecture” about the stars and what is on the sky was really good in both science and entertainment. It was great experience all in all.

I'll preempt this review by saying the actual stargazing experience was fun. I enjoyed the telescopes. It was cool to see Jupiter, Saturn, and Andromeda. The guides who oversaw this part of the activity were friendly and engaging.

However, the experience only gets two stars because the communication and logistics were terrible. The representative at our camp told us the entire thing would take an hour and fifteen minutes (specified as leaving at 8:30pm, getting back at 9:45pm). The drive out there would take 10-15 minutes, we'd have 45 minutes of stargazing, and then it would take another 10-15 minutes to return to the camp.

In reality, the drive took 45 minutes because our truck picked up people from other camps. Our representative only told us this was going to happen after our truck left the camp. Once we got to the site, we had to wait 15 minutes for other trucks to arrive before the presentation got started.

Realizing this would take way longer than anticipated, we asked a representative if we could leave after after the telescopes (the first part of the experience). They said it was possible and told us to wait at the truck assembly point. After ten minutes of waiting there, the representative told us the truck wasn't coming after all. We'd have to wait for the second part of the experience to end so that the trucks could take everyone back at the scheduled end-time.

At no point did this representative or any other apologize. At a bare minimum, I'd have appreciated someone acknowledging that mistakes had been made and the organization was sorry for it. Hopefully this review (and others that mention the lack of organization and clear communication) will help improve this experience for future attendees.

I am a lawyer from Austria and did a trip recently from Aqaba to the Wadi Rum desert, together with my wife and one of our daughters (16). At the camp where we stayed overnight, this trip was advertised. As we had nothing better to do, we booked this, but frankly did not expect a lot. However, it was a truly great experience (which is why I am writing this review): The operator has four *very* large telescopes, the main guide is an amazing person with a heavy American accent. It was super interesting and I personally learned a lot. The trip from the camp and back was flawlessly organized. Everybody at the site was super friendly and helpful. Five stars and no regrets.

A bit pricy, but worth it

Four telescopes were aligned to different points in the sky and a lecture with practical advises was conducted by very passionate and patient astronomers. Best questions came from little kids so stick with them will be fun and you can learn something extra.

They offer a coat - take it!!! In the night dessert temperatures drop drastically and the whole thing is about an hour

We were staying at Sun City Camp and saw a poster for this activity. It was a short drive and worth every minute of the 1.5 hours we spent there. The whole activity was well organized and orchestrated. Ghassan and the other guide ((whose name slipped my mind) were very knowledgeable and made the whole experience fun with their nerdy humor! A group photograph with the milky was as the background was the icing on the cake. Certainly a unique experience.
