Good to know

How tours work at Rafiki

We don't push tours at check-in. If you want to do one, ask at reception and we'll arrange it - usually with a day or two of notice. Cash or card on departure.

Small groups

We try to keep tours under 8 people. Bigger groups can be split across cars.

Local guides

Every tour is run with Bedouin guides from the area - your money stays in Wadi Musa.

Flexible cancellation

Cancel up to 24 hours before with no fee. Weather changes? We'll reschedule.
