Beyond Wadi Rum Camp

Salman had very clear communication from the moment we booked regarding where to park, what the procedure was, pick up from Wadi Rum Village, and additional tours that we had requested. He is incredibly hospitable and kind. The staff are excellent - thank you Awwad for the tour (Lawrence's spring, Red sand dunes, Khazali canyon, House of Lawrence, Mushroom Rock, Burrah Canyon, Ark Bridge). Giri and his 2 colleagues at the camp responsible for food and the rooms are just amazing! They really made our stay wonderful! We were treated with incredible kindness. Food at dinner and breakfast was delicious and varied. After dinner, we had a chance to sit out with a bonfire, and Salman was telling us about Bedouin life previously. Kids loved the whole experience. We would love to return to this camp!

The hot water goes hot and cold via the shower head, but we were given the option of a bucket if needed. The initial room we had booked (pictures) had no hot water so we moved to another room which had hot water. Amazing facilities for the middle of the dessert.

It was an Amazing experience,first we did the 6 hours jeep tour and then we had dinner local Barbeque Dinner around 8,followed by Bon fire and looking at the stars till 10,the owner Mr Salman and the staff were Amazing always following up on your comfort,last but not the least the Xamp Dog Sheeru was the most friendliest dog i have ever seen in my life,wants belly rubs.made my 2 days.will be definitely back here in the future.Wadi Rum is a Surreal Place,nothing like it.

The property was exceptional. In the middle of the desert, our tent had all the amenities available to make our stay very comfortable 😀 The owner, Salman, was very helpful to take care of all our needs while we were there. All support staff - housekeeping and at the kitchen were exceptional. Not to forget about our desert tour guide - Devfala - he was amazing 😀 Highly recommend this property to everyone planning their visit to Wadi Rum. It's reasonable and comfortable.

There is nothing to say. Everyone did their best to ensure our stay very comfortable.

A fantastic place and staff makes you feel welcome. Bedouin style rooms in the middle of the desert. Tours are available and they took me to tea in the desert, traditional food cooked under the sand, and the archaeological sites... and of course the amazing landscapes of the desert. I´m a woman traveling alone and I always felt safe and comfortable.

Jordanians are having a difficult time because of the low levels of tourism. However, going to Jordan was the right decision as it is not as crowded as it used to be. A safe place to go.

The camp is well located and offers gorgeous views on the plains and the mountains (especially when relaxing in the rocking chairs in front of the restaurant). The owner (Salman) is very sociable, hospitable and does everything to make you feel at home. He gave us een upgrade from a room with shared bathroom to a family room with ensuite bathroom (with lovely mounain views). Dinner is very good, both in terms of quality and quanity. It is not included in the initial booking price and has to be ordered beforehand (12 JD per person). We took an interesting 4-hour jeep tour and managed to see a good number of highlights in Wadi Rum. On arrival at the Visitor's centre, Salman was waiting for us. He then took us to his house in the Wadi Rum Village (7 km after Visitor's Centre) where we made a one-off payment for our stay (+breakfast), dinner and jeep tour upfront. We paid by Visa credit card.

The driver / guide on the jeep tour was not all that fluent in English. He was helpful and kind but I had expected him to give us more background information on the different sites we visited during our jeep tour. He was definitely more a driver than a tour guide.

So much to say about this. From the point that we booked in the UK the communications was smooth. The camp helped us prearrange our tours, pick up details, and fine tune timings etc. The camp itself is wonderful. Many different types of accommodation for all budgets. Basic tents with shared bathrooms, and private tents with en-suite. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to an ensuite. It was fantastic. Very warm and clean. And the beds were so comfortable. Facilities are sufficient but this is a desert - if you really need a hair dryer you're in the wrong place! The location within Wadi Rum is also fabulous. You have a good viewing point for star watching and also for the sunrise. I didn't realise that the camp is just next to the 'Little Rock Bridge' either! Many of the trips you will do include a sunset view elsewhere, so you won't miss out on that. The manager/owner (Salman) does everything he can to look after you. At dinner, I saw that he went to every group and checked they were okay. Explained the options for the evening, and lead the entertainment. We had traditional music and dance from his team, and whilst some carried on dancing, Salman took us out to find the best view of the stars. The food was plentiful and very tasty - with vegetarian options. The buffet style means that you don't go hungry. Tours were well guided. We had a jeep tour, which was very reasonably priced. We were able to choose where we went and take our time, as there were only two of us. Abdul was very informative and took us to some additional places not on our list, as he felt we would like them. He also had a great sense of humour! If we were to return to Wadi Rum, which I hope we will, we would go to the same place again, for sure.

There isn't really anything we can add here. This was the highlight of our trip and I can't think of a thing we would change - other than to stay longer.

The camp is located near the small bridge, sunset is seen from the terrasse and sunrise from the bridge. Not a long way from the village but good starting point for the desert tours. I was the only guest at the time, so I've got a tent upgrade for the one with bathroom and it was very quiet. Dinner was nice and tour was very interesting.

There are many lights from this and other camps in the vicinity - the sky was not that dark. The sunset and sunrise not that spectacular because the sky was very clean.

Special thanks to Salman and Awwad for an unforgettable experience. We were warmly welcomed which made our stay at wadi rum even more special. Shout out to all the Indian staff working there, thank you for sharing your spicy food with us. Awwad made the jeep tour really fun and exciting. A jovial young chap.
