Overview

RumSky is a world class observatory open for tourist visiting the magical Wadi Rum Area in Jordan.
Wadi Rum is one of rare places in the world where you can see thousands of sky objects due to low light pollution.
RumSky provides large telescopes to aid the stargazing experience.
Our professional astronomers will take you in one in a life time experience!

Itinerary

We start by picking up our guest from all the local camps in Disi Area around 7:45 Pm in winter. (Summer times change, please check with us). Don't worry we always pick you up after your dinner.
The adventure starts with a 20-minute presentation that takes you on a journey that sheds light on the cosmos.
As the presentation ends, we step out and begin our trek across the sky. We split our guests in 2 equal groups:
Group 1
Follow the light of the green laser surrounded by a candle track. A professional astronomer takes you around the night sky, explaining how to find directions in the night through the stars’ system.
Then explaining the daily and annual rotation of stars. We show our guests various constellations and horoscopes with the aid of the laser.
We explain ancient mythologies from various cultures. This session takes 35 minutes.
Group 2
Will spend time on large telescopes, computerized with GPS systems. They see various targets like: Galaxies, Nebulae, planets and its moons, etc.
The session is guided by another professional astronomer. This session takes 35 minutes. At the middle of the show. Group 1 and 2 switch.
At the end we take group photo with the night objects.

I've always wanted to know more about the night sky and what an opportunity this was to do it in the Wadi Rum desert. From the moment the pre talk started with a 3 minute video showing how large space is I was hooked. We were lucky as a group tour to have 8 of us being educated and entertained as we got to view different stars/space phenomena through 5 telescopes and I learnt so much about the North Star, how the night sky changes and constellations visible in the sky that night.

An excellent experience which is educational and enjoyable. See so much more than you can with the naked eye. Great telescopes to see amazing sights. A must do

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.
