Dig out the Zarb The Zarb is a whole goat or sheep cooked in a hole in the ground. The hole is a coal kiln in which a seasoned goat or sheep is buried there for hours until it is cooked. The Zarb is a special meal and is prepared for important guests.	Have a Bedouin Breakfast If you have wondered about the source of Bedouin stamina, then make sure you start your day with an authentic Bedouin breakfast. Bedouin breakfast usually consists of handmade delicacies of shrak bread, goat cheese, butter, and honey.
Have Dinner Dinner is an exceptional experience in Rum especially if accompanied by the tunes of the Bedouin Rababah or the Arabic Oud. The Bedouin songs can be cheerful or sorrowful, funny or serious. Less traditional camps might have DJ music accompanying dinner. Dinner options vary from barbeque and buffets to simple meals, depending on the camp.	Have Mansaf for Lunch Mansaf, the national dish of Jordan, is served in tents and campsites. Mansaf is made of lamb cooked in a broth of fermented dried yogurt and served with rice and bread. Mansaf is both a cultural experience and an adventure, especially if you try to master the art of eating with your hands. Tip: Always eat with your right hand.
Rum Gate Restaurant Treat your eyes to a breathtaking view of the mountains of Wadi Rum while having a meal at the Rum Gate Restaurant. The restaurant offers daily breakfast and lunch buffets with an assortment of traditional Jordanian dishes.
