Living a Dream in Wadi Rum
Pros: It was a wonderful experience, and we loved it so much that we will definitely come back. The landscape is absolutely stunning, and the people and their stories are truly amazing. When you come here, you feel like you’re in a completely different world. The experience itself was extraordinary, and the price is very low especially considering the incredible view you get. A traditional breakfast completes it all, making you truly feel like you’re living the desert life.
Cons: In the evening, the desert gets very, very cold, so make sure you come prepared with warm clothes especially if you’re visiting during winter, like we did. However, overall, the experience was great. The property informed us from the very beginning that the evenings would be cold and advised us to bring warm clothing, so as long as you check the weather for the period of your stay, everything will be just fine.

Some of the best views in Wadi Rum and great stay overall
Pros: I was solo hiking for 5 days and stayed at four different camps during the time - I was very happy with all of them. Candles Camp is at the southern edge, with amazing sunset views to the wilder desert and perhaps the best view of all of my camp stays. Dinner was also delicious and Mahdi was a warm and energetic host (as was the rest of the team!). Ask him about navigating by stars if you meet. The value for money is unbeatable, just remember it is a desert so don't expect the exact same level of luxury and functionality as in cities. Nights are cold so be dressed up accordingly and take the stay as a bit of an adventure.

Pros: Very nice camp in the desert in a beautiful and remote location. Comfortable spacious room with a beautiful view. Nice staff with interesting stories, nice dinner and singing :)
Cons: It was a little bit cold in the room and only a little warm water was available but these are to be expected in the middle of the desert. It was actually already better than my expectations :)

10/10! Simple, affordable and the best experience you'll have in the Wadi Rum!
Pros: Staff were all very friendly, helpful and attentitive. Location was excellent - in the middle of nowhere. It was so remote the silence was infact deafening at times. Evening food was very good and cooked traditionally. Breakfast was very good - plenty of it. Evening entertainment was fantastic and something you'll always remember! The unlimited supply of tea was superb!! :D Accommodation was very good - however it was soooo cold in the evening and first thing in the morning. The shower/water pressure wasn't the best, however I appreciate that the camp is in the middle of a desert - but the water was hot! :) Wifi unavailable in the accommodation - however it is available in the shared tent each evening. Wadi Rum day tours are highly recommended (these are bookable by messaging the property and obviously are added costs) - the full day tour was excellent and our guide (Aslin?) was great - thank you.
