Of course you are advised not to wander far from the camp alone, as it is easy to become disoriented. Travelers have lost their way in the desert so always have water with you. We explain safety measures to all our guests when they arrive. Also, as the official Jordan government website explains: "Some poisonous species of snakes and scorpions can be found in the protected area. If you are bitten by a snake or scorpion, try and note its color and markings, tie a tourniquet above the bite, immobilize the affected area, and obtain medical help as soon as possible. It should be stressed, however, that bites from snakes or scorpions are extremely rare; the vast majority of visitors never see them."
