Welcome to our Bedouin camp in the heart of the Wadi Rum desert. Our camp offers a unique and authentic experience that will allow you to immerse yourself in the rich culture and natural beauty of this wonderful desert. Our traditional tents are equipped with private bathrooms with hot water. Breakfast is included and there is the option of dining at the camp in the main tent. You will have your own tent with private bathroom all to yourselves. The common areas are the main tent where breakfast and dinner are served. In addition, the whole area around the camp is available for you to explore and take a walk. We also have two braziers (one inside the main tent and one outside) where you can relax while sipping Bedouin tea. Keep in mind that there are no cell phone towers in the Wadi Rum desert and therefore internet is not available. However, we can provide free WiFi access to the village in our office for all guests. Explore the magic of the Wadi Rum desert with our engaging jeep tours! Rely on our experienced Bedouin guide for an authentic and unforgettable experience in the heart of Jordan. Discover the hidden treasures of this enchanted land as you venture aboard our jeep. During the tour, you will see some of the Wadi Rum desert's most spectacular sights, as our jeep speeds through the golden sands, allowing you to fully experience the mystical atmosphere of the desert.
I am a Bedouin who grew up in the Wadi Rum desert. I have been guiding 4x4 jeep tours in the desert for several years. I enjoy sharing our culture and the history of Wadi Rum, I love telling stories about the Bedouin way of life. I am dedicated to offering visitors an unforgettable experience in the Wadi Rum desert to discover all its beauty.
Our camp is situated in a quiet location in the heart of the Wadi Rum desert. Incredible views of the valley and thousand-year-old rocks await you. The strategic location allows the camp to be in the shade for half the day.
