About us

If you have ever slept in the desert and woken to see a shooting star like a firework in the sky, then you’ll begin to know what Wind Sand & Stars is all about.

For 20 years, we have been taking people to the desert, from businessmen to the homeless, from doctors to geologists, from schoolchildren to pensioners, from church groups to those seeking the holiday of a lifetime. The trips combine camel safaris, pilgrimages to historical religious sites, mountain treks, charity projects, school journeys and much more.

We are a little bit different, which makes it hard to put us into words. We have successfully managed to open up the mysteries of the area to visitors, whilst at the same time minimising the negative impact of mass tourism by exercising our belief in sustainable tourism. We offer adventure within a safe framework and an insight into a unique world. We are as sensitive to the needs of our clients as we are to the needs of the Bedouin with whom we work. We respect both equally, and act as a bridge between two cultures. We have built strong working relationships with the Bedouin tribes, who take us into their desert lands, offering us their warm hospitality and an insight into their traditional ways of life.
