About

Founder Of Star Walk Camp

My name is Ahmed Al Zalabeyh and I was lucky enough to be born and raised in one of the most beautiful deserts on earth. I feel incredibly proud and grateful that for seventeen generations my family has existed and thrived within the Wadi Rum and continually thank God that each generation decided to remain in this most inspiring, breath taking and captivating of places.

I spent my entire childhood raised in the heart of the desert. I grew up in a traditional Bedouin tent continuing our natural way of life, which has been passed on through my family for centuries. I know every mountain, valley, tree by name and all the secrets that this mysterious, rich land possesses. I have climbed, hiked and walked to the highest and furthest points, acquainting myself with each rock and sand dune, all of which have now become old friends. However like many old friends there are still hidden secrets that exist within them and always new discoveries to be made, each one bringing me such a wonderful delight when I do. The Wadi Rum offers something that no other place on earth can; a sanctuary of true peace, silence and well-being, offering an honest escape for anyone who exists outside of it. I never forget how lucky I am to live here and will never consider leaving my oldest of friends.

I spend my free time by going to the desert with my book to my favorite place, the breezes of fresh air with the sweet smell swaying the book papers, the charming sunshine preparing to set, the sound of birds enjoying their time. This is to me the meaning of living in peace and endless freedom that many people lack on this planet. I wish if I could make everyone feel this wondrous magic.
Here I am putting in your hands extraction of what this desert taught me, and there are still many secrets that we will discover together, Inshallah.
