If you’re staying in a hotel in Aqaba or coming off a cruise, or even just crossing the Eilat border, then this is the perfect opportunity to stay with the Bedouins. With just a 45 minute drive you can jump on the back of an old 4x4 Toyota and conquer the sand dunes; have a BBQ lunch in the middle of nowhere; and sip traditional Bedouin tea as you watch the sun set to reveal a sky laden with stars.
