Well worth going! We were lucky to have a clear night, and were able to look at 5 different views through telescopes, including Jupiter with 4 of its moons. Initially we had a very interesting information session inside, and then another one outside before viewing through the telescopes.
The only suggestion I'd have is to put a limit on the number of people for each session, as the wait lines to look through the telescopes were a bit long.

Very informative with video beforehand, explanation of the night sky and plenty of time looking at four different sights through telescopes. First time that I have seen Jupiter and the storms up close.

I absolutely recommend the experience. Everything was very immersive, extremely interesting and easily understandable. Fakhri was knowledgeable and kept our attention during the whole introduction with his jokes and songs, and Mahmood was very nice and funny and told us plenty of interesting facts about the stars. You can really see they are passionate about what they do and that they love the stars. Absolutely do not miss this if you are in Wadi Rum.

We were looking forward to a desert stargazing experience, but unfortunately, this missed the mark.
I have given 2 stars because of the enthusiasm and knowledge of the presenters however the experience itself was sub par.
The area they take you to has lots of buildings around and you are basically surrounded by light ! They use an area with tented walls with no roof to try to mitigate this but it doe not ! I can see as many stars at home in my yard with the naked eye.
We were expecting a more dark sky experience.
To topp it off you can either stand or sit in the sand in this area. The seating is directly in the sand , Bedouin seating would have worked better but nothing to sit on was provided.
They initially gave a presentation in one of the buildings and split you into groups however the groups were still large. Overall something we were excited to do and the sky was better on the drive to the event.

Fantastic experience, the boy and girl who looked after us during the evening were very prepared and were really good and nice. The duration of the experience is approximately two hours. With excellent telescopes we saw: Jupiter (with 3 of its moons), Saturn (with its rings), a nebula and the Andromeda galaxy.
Absolutely worth doing, to end the evening in the desert with an edge!

We weren’t sure what to expect, but was a fun experience. Operation was seamless from pick up to drop off. The guides were truly enthusiastic and amusing. We even saw Saturn through the telescopes. When I emailed the company asking for the group photo, they sent it straight away, so great service in that respect!

Wonderful experience. I already know a little about space - having done at least 3 previous stargazing experiences - but still learnt lots. The guides were amusing, knowledgeable and clear in their explanations. The telescopes easy to use and we could see what we were looking for. We were also very lucky to see a number of shooting stars. I was a little bit surprised at how much light pollution was around but there were barriers to help enhance our experience.

My friend and I visited Wadi Rum and stayed overnight in one of the luxury tents. They arranged for RumSky to conduct a stargazing experience for us the night we were there. His presentation was outstanding. I definitely recommend this as a must do experience!
