Bianca Abma
Ever since I can remember I love to travel and explore places. Until now I visited over 35 countries on 6 continents. One of them was Jordan. This amazing country and its people stole my heart. In 2015 I relocated from the Netherlands to Wadi Rum, Jordan. Together with Fawaz Mohammad, I run Wadi Rum Nomads an adventurous tour company in Wadi Rum. Together with our team of Bedouin guides, we give our guests a memorable experience in this extraordinary place.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Organising adventurous tours in Wadi Rum desert. Whether it is trekking, hiking, camel riding or touring by jeep, we know how to let our guests experience the true beauty of the desert and its inhabitant, the Bedouin. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"My background in the tourism industry and online marketing. In 2014 I travelled to Jordan and met Fawaz who just started Wadi Rum Nomads months before. Knowing my specialities he contacted me with a request for some help with the 'online stuff' as his strength is 'the desert' and not the computer. Instantly I knew this was a unique opportunity. I took it and here we are, relocated to this amazing place and running the business together. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Having been in Costa Rica and missing out on a lava volcano because of bad weather I was determined to visit a lava volcano when travelling in Guatemala. I choose to visit the Pacaya volcano as this was the one at that time where you could get close to the lava. 2 days before I was supposed to climb this volcano I go sick. A local pharmacist gave me medicine to relief my breathing difficulty. As my Spanish is not so good I misunderstood how to dose. I practically overdosed myself with a medicine that has a contraindication for me as my doctor told me later. Feeling extremely weak I still was determined to hike the volcano. Going up the guide noticed my quickly deteriorating health and he wondered if I was going to make it. With just my willpower I made it up to the volcano and while watching the lava streams I felt the intense heat of the lava getting through my shoes. Overcoming so much difficulty to reach my goal made it a very special, unique and dear memory. "

This was one of the best trips I have been on. So well organised. 5 start accommodation and service. The guide we had was so friendly and helpful. The taxi drivers were friendly and very helpful too. I would recommend this tour and company to anyone who wants the best in Jordan.
Bianca did every she could to get the best tour together for my team. I changed the plan/days multiple times and Bianca continued to help us get the best price and experience out of it.

As a solo female American, Bianca and Jolanda did a great job making me feel comfortable.
Bianca was amazing. She planned every step for me perfectly.

It was a short trip. I would say the biggest surprise was just how beautiful, well-equipped/appointed the Fig Tree B&B is. The food and accommodation exceeded every expectation. The host Jolanda even does chair massages!
Organized to a tee. Bianca could not have been more organized, knowledgeable or accommodating.

Everyone we had contact with was friendly, professional and spoke excellent English. Small hick up with a driver who overslept, but Bianca was right on it. The person who took us on the Jeep trip was excellent and was very knowledgeable about the area. I would highly recommend him.
Blanca was easy to get hold of and very responsive when we needed to contact her.
Michael, thank you for your beautiful review and compliments. For sure, I will share it with Abdullh, who was your guide in Wadi Rum. It was my pleasure to help you organising your Jordan trip. And I was happy to help you out wherever it was needed. Warm greetings from Wadi Rum, Bianca

Wow, what a great trip. Bianca was a delight to work with, and everyone she introduced us to along the way was fantastic. Can't wait to get back there and adventure with these guys again!
Bianca is extremely well organized and very effective. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your beautiful review and compliments, Erik. It was my pleasure to help you organising your Jordan trip. And what a joy it was for all of us to have the two of you as our guests. I hope to meet you again for another amazing adventure. Warm greetings from Wadi Rum, Bianca
