Sleeping Under the Stars: Influencer's $40 Jordan Desert Stay Goes Viral

How often have you booked a stay in the middle of nowhere just to sleep under the stars? And how often did that come with a roof? A travel company is offering an unforgettable experience, spend a night in the Jordanian desert under a sky full of twinkling stars. But wait until you see what this Airbnb includes.

Forget rooms or domes, there's no roof here. Travel influencer Johnni DiJulius shared that he booked an Airbnb in the heart of Wadi Rum desert for just $40 (₹3,500). The setup? A bed, a nightstand, and… a lizard.

Concerned that people might think the video was AI-generated, the influencer clarified upfront and gave viewers a glimpse of the space and its breathtaking views.

A Night In Jordan Desert With A Bed, Star-lit Sky And Lizard:

Many people thought that Johnni was exaggerating. However, Wadi Rum Cave Camping, a travel agency based in Jordan, featured his video thanking the influencer for choosing them. They call it the 'coolest Airbnb'.

The sleeping area is located in the middle of the desert and set up in the shadow of a dramatic sandstone mountain. For those who don't know, Wadi Rum Desert is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its cinematic landscapes, ancient petroglyphs, and Bedouin culture.

If you are a sci-fi or crime-thriller fan, you would think this place only existed in movies and series which showcase characters landing on an unknown planet through a portal or magical powers.
