Voices from the Dunes

The night camp experience in Wadi Rum changed how I see travel — silent, star-filled, and deeply human. DuneTales helped me choose the right operator and ask the right questions.

Maya R., Adventure Blogger

As a first-time solo traveler to the Sahara, I leaned heavily on their packing checklists and cultural etiquette posts. Felt prepared, respectful, and genuinely connected.

Finally — a desert safari resource that values conservation as much as adventure. Their responsible-tourism scorecard made all the difference in my booking decision.

Born from a love of silence, sand, and stories

DuneTales began in 2019 after founder Leila Hassan spent six weeks documenting small-scale desert safaris across Jordan, Morocco, and Oman. Frustrated by superficial coverage and greenwashed marketing, she started this blog to center authenticity, respect, and deep curiosity — one dune at a time.
