Pros: A great location under a hill, inside Wadi Rum. The staff was very nice to everyone and accommodating. Took care of all our needs. Great value for money. Food was simple, but good enough for a camp in the desert.

A great way to enjoy Wadi Rum and explore the beautiful desert.
Pros: The property was exactly as per the description and perfect for our holiday. Salman and his team were fantastic hosts and we enjoyed every moment of our time from the first moment to the last. We will definitely stay here again.
Cons: We would like to have stayed longer.

A highlight of our trip - book a tour of the desert
Pros: Location of this camp is perfect, right in the heart of Wadi Rum, next to the Little Arch (easy sunrise or sunset!) The host went out of his way to make us comfortable, was attentive, and helpful. They have probably the best selection of adventure tours in the desert, including hiking, adventure overnights, or places away from the crowds, with great description on the website. The host was helpful with scheduling a private tour exactly to my requests, and therefore we were lucky enough to be basically alone and see places most people don't! A highlight of our trip to Jordan. Most other tours follow the same schedule and the same spots. A lot of activities at night, like ground BBQ, local music, hookah, and star gazing
Cons: Most camps seem to have this, but personally, I am not a big fan of disco, even though a Bedouin dancing to Macarena was very funny I would enjoy a bit more background and stories about Bedouin, heritage, animals, and desert life, on the tour, and during star gazing. Was constantly googling that when on wifi :) Shared facilities would enjoy an upgrade, but you have to consider you're in the desert and factor in the price

Wonderful camp in the middle os Wady Rum
Pros: Very nice camp located just by the “little bridge”. Our tent/cottage was really nice and although we were there in January, we were kept warm by a gas furnace. The food was fine and the 4X4 trip we booked for 6 hours was terrific. We can only recommend this camp to everyone.
Cons: Nothing.

Pros: 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!
Cons: 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.

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

Vakue for money at a wonderful place in the desert
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.
