Each August, the night sky comes alive with one of the most spectacular celestial events of the year: the Perseid meteor shower. Shooting stars streak across the heavens in a dazzling show of light that draws stargazers from all corners of the globe. But what if you could experience this astronomical phenomenon in one of the world’s most mystical landscapes?
Welcome to Nabatean Nights – Perseid Meteor Shower Tour, a curated adventure through Jordan that blends rich history, natural beauty, and stargazing bliss. If you're looking for the best way to see the Perseids, this tour is it.
WHY WADI RUM IS THE ULTIMATE VIEWING SPOT
The highlight of this unique journey is a night spent beneath the stars in the Wadi Rum desert, one of the most remote and visually stunning places on Earth. With zero light pollution and crystal-clear skies, Wadi Rum offers prime conditions for watching the Perseids in their full glory.
On this tour, you'll arrive in Wadi Rum just in time for the peak of the meteor shower, when Earth passes through the densest part of Comet Swift-Tuttle's debris stream. You'll stay in a traditional Bedouin camp, chosen specifically for its seclusion and stargazing potential.
Imagine reclining on warm desert sands, surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs, as meteors blaze trails overhead—a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience that few other locations can match.
MORE THAN JUST A METEOR SHOWER

-
The Dead Sea – Float effortlessly in its ultra-salty waters at the lowest point on Earth, a surreal and soothing experience unlike any other.
