点评:If you’re looking for a truly awe-inspiring and authentic Jordanian experience, you must book with Suleiman.
Suleiman is someone who is incredibly passionate about sharing his Bedouin culture, community, and values with others. I didn’t really know what to expect when we started, and I’m here to tell you: trust the process. Suleiman genuinely customizes the experience around what excites you, while also accommodating your comfort and interests along the way.
At first, I found myself almost confused by how incredibly hospitable, kind, and respectful everyone we met on this journey was. We were strangers, after all. But as the trek continued, it became clear to me that hospitality and honoring guests are deeply valued within Bedouin culture. That generosity wasn’t something performed for tourists—it was something we experienced consistently, and it became one of the most inspiring parts of our time with Suleiman.
Our trek was an experience that completely immersed us in Jordan—from the dramatic landscapes and hidden canyons to the seemingly endless stars filling the night sky. We ate traditional Bedouin meals (another highlight of the journey) prepared by an incredible chef, Mustafa, whose food was made of the gold in his heart.
As we trekked through deserts and canyons, Suleiman pointed out corners and pockets of the landscape where memories from his childhood lived, sharing stories about his community and the places that shaped him. I quickly realized that this wasn’t simply a tour. We were being given a glimpse into what it means to be Bedouin through the lived experience of someone who actually calls this place home.
As someone who loves being outdoors, I didn’t want to simply check off museums and Petra. I wanted to experience the raw, expansive, and beautiful nature of Jordan—and this trek gave me exactly that. We learned about the ways the Bedouin community observes and works with the natural world: from the plants and trees, to the movement of livestock, to reading the stars and understanding the changing seasons. Suleiman has an incredible depth of knowledge and an ability to explain it in a way that made everything feel accessible and meaningful.
I really appreciated that the experience never felt rushed or overly curated. There was room to slow down, ask questions, wander, observe, and simply exist in the moments. It felt less like being shown Jordan and more like being welcomed into a small piece of someone’s home and world.
Suleiman and his team also helped us organize transportation beyond the trek, which made the rest of our travels significantly smoother and easier.
We were definitely fools to think that one week would be enough to experience Jordan. We left feeling like we had only scratched the surface—and with an even greater appreciation for the country and its people. We will absolutely be back.

苏莱曼满怀热情地希望将自己的贝都因文化、社群以及价值观分享给更多的人。刚开始时,我并不确定会有怎样的体验,但我想告诉大家:请相信这个过程。苏莱曼会真正根据你的兴趣来量身打造体验内容,同时也会充分顾及你的舒适感与个人喜好。
起初,……我们一路上遇到的每个人都极其热情好客、友善且彬彬有礼,这让我有些不知所措——毕竟我们对他们而言完全是陌生人。但随着旅程的推进,我逐渐明白:在贝都因文化中,热情待客与尊重客人是非常受重视的价值观。这种慷慨大方并非专为游客而展现的表演,而是我们切实体验到的真实的一面;这也成了我们在苏莱曼身边度过的时光中最为令人感动的部分。这次徒步之旅让我们彻底沉浸在约旦的魅力之中——从壮丽的地貌与隐秘的峡谷,到漫布夜空的无数星辰。我们还品尝了由才华横溢的厨师穆斯塔法制作的贝都因传统美食(这也是此行的一大亮点),他的菜肴里饱含着一颗赤诚之心。
当我们穿越沙漠与峡谷时,苏莱曼指给我们看那些承载着他童年记忆的角落与景致。他分享着关于自己社群以及那些塑造了他的地方的故事。我很快意识到,这并非一次普通的游览。通过这位真正把这里当作家园的人的亲身经历,我们得以一窥贝都因人的生活究竟是怎样的。
作为一个热爱户外的人,我并不想只是把参观博物馆和佩特拉列入行程清单。我想要亲身感受约旦那原始、辽阔又美丽的自然风光——而这次徒步旅行恰恰满足了我的愿望。我们了解了贝都因人如何观察并与自然世界互动:从各种植物与树木,到牲畜的动向,再到观测星象以及感知季节的更迭。苏莱曼拥有极为渊博的知识,他还能以一种让一切变得易于理解且富有意义的方式进行讲解。
我特别欣赏的是,整个体验过程既不匆忙,也未被过度安排。我们有足够的时间放慢脚步、提出问题、自由漫步并仔细观察。只需沉浸在当下即可。那种感觉与其说是被带着去参观约旦,不如说是被欢迎进入某个人的家中,进入他的小世界。
苏莱曼和他的团队还帮助我们安排了徒步行程之外的交通事宜,这让我们后续的旅程顺畅了许多,也轻松了不少。
我们真是愚蠢至极,居然以为一周时间就足以体验约旦。离开时,我们觉得自己只是浅尝辄止而已——同时也对这个国家及其人民产生了更深的敬意。我们一定会再来的。
