Hussein hamd
We are a local Badawi family, that was born and raised in Wadi Rum. Our camp is situated inside Wadi Rum’s Protected Area, only 6 km from the Wadi Rum Village and surrounded by magnificent sandstone formations. This is the land where Lawrence Arabia once fought with Bedouins, against the Ottoman Empire. You can walk around and let your imagination run free, or simply find yourselves the perfect panorama view. We offer traditional Bedouin breakfast, dinner and tea to our guests. We offer different types of tours, Jeep, Camel Ride and hiking tour and all the activities available in Wadi Rum. Our high quality, goat-hair tents provide you with a comfortable night in our desert. The tents are raised and private and can accommodate many different sized groups. Each tent is equipped with its own indoor light so you can move around easily at all times of day. We have double, triple, and family-sized tents, all come with fresh sheets, warm blankets, and towels.
My name is Hussien hamd Born and raised in Wadi Rum, I love to meet new people and help them to have the best time of they life in Wadi Rum. Here in Wadi Rum few famous movies took place , including the Marshall and Lawrence of Arabia, The Martian and The Desert of Rum, come check for yourself, with tranquility and magical freedom that allows the tourist to enjoy the desert experience.
The area of Rum is a beautiful area. Rum village is inhabited by a Beduin family of about 300 years. It is a family unit, where all the inhabitants of the region are a family unit, about 250 families live in this village. There are a lot of films filmed in Wadi Rum, such as the film Mars in 2011, as well as Lawrence of Arabia 1992 and there are more than 5 films also. Wadi Rum is very beautiful and well worth a visit, about 70 km away from the city of Aqaba and the city of Petra is 190 km.
