About WadiRumX

Our Journey of Inspiration…!

About Me

I'm Salem Oglah Al Zalabeyh

I am the owner of Wadi Rum Xperience. I was born in the Wadi Rum desert. I spent my years chasing flocks of sheep, herding camels, and climbing to the highest and steepest mountains in Jordan using the skills I learned from my father, which were passed down for seventeen generations.

I'm Bedouin

My Bedouin Lifestyle

The Bedouin life is centered around hospitality and exchange of ideas which is why I love scrambling, hiking, camel trekking, and camping while showing you the authentic Bedouin hospitality.  This is why I am locally recognized as a professional, fun, creative exhibitor of Bedouin skills and lifestyle.

My Tribe

The Al Zalabeyh tribe

I am part of the “Al Zalabeyh” tribe which means “sweet things” and we are a tribe of approximately 2500 people, where five percent of the people still live in the desert, including my father and mother.

My Journey

My passion & Inspiration

I have worked in desert tourism since 2004 as a guide, hiker, scrambler, camper and cook.  I enjoy and find it exhilarating to wake up under the open sky, and  breathe in the fresh desert air to recharge my spirit.

We had a great time in Wadi Rum with Salem! He’s a fantastic guide and I highly recommend Wadi Rum X to everyone visiting Jordan. Watching the sun set in the desert and playing with the baby wolves was an unforgettable experience.

We were 4 friends in Wadi Rum for a day and a night and we had the chance to choose the best guide of Wadi Rum, Salem. We have spent one of the best experience of our life. He is a reliable, attentive and kind person. He made us discover the most beautiful places of this wonderful desert, he cooked for us in a bivouac and we had the opportunity to close our eyes under millions of stars. He knows deeply his land and he told us about history and traditions of beduins people. This was The best experience of our travel to Jordan. Absolutely recommended!
