Raami Tours
( 2154010; www.raamitours.com ) This tour company, based on the main road in the
Bedouin village of Umm Sayhoun, organises traditional meals for visitors who want to try
real homecooking. They also design tailor-made tours to fit all schedules, special interests
and budgets (email at least three days ahead of arrival). The owner is the son of Marguer-
ite van Geldermalsen, author of Married to a Bedouin - an expatriate who married into
the Bdoul and who brought young Raami up in a Petra cave for the first few years of his
life. Guided tours into Petra, therefore, don't come any more authentic than this!
