Desert Camp
Stay in the heart of the Wadi Rum Desert, surrounded by towering sandstone mountains and vast red sand valleys.
Our Desert Camp is located inside the Wadi Rum Protected Area, set among impressive rock formations with beautiful views toward Jabal Khazali, one of the most iconic mountains in Wadi Rum.
At night, the open desert landscape provides excellent conditions for stargazing, creating a truly unforgettable experience beneath the clear desert sky.
Life in the desert is simple and peaceful, but our camp still offers essential comforts, including electricity, running water, and western-style bathrooms. Relax in the quiet surroundings, enjoy a cup of traditional Bedouin tea, and take in the peaceful atmosphere of the desert.
THE TENTS
Our desert camp offers a comfortable and authentic camping experience in Wadi Rum. Guests stay in private tents with either a double bed or twin beds, suitable for two people per tent.
Each tent overlooks the beautiful Wadi Rum desert landscape and is equipped with proper beds including a mattress, pillow, and blanket, with an additional duvet provided during the winter months.
For your comfort, every tent includes a private bathroom, as well as ceiling lighting, a power outlet for charging devices, and a lockable door for privacy and security.
When making your reservation, you can request your preferred setup with either a double bed or two twin beds.
Dining & Meals
Traditional Bedouin-style meals are served in our main dining tent, offering guests an authentic taste of desert hospitality.
Dinner
Traditional Zarb
A traditional Bedouin barbecue with roasted chicken and a variety of vegetables. Side dishes include rice, flatbread, stewed potatoes with tomato, and fresh Arabic cucumber salad.
Zarb is an ancient Bedouin cooking technique where meat and vegetables are slow-cooked underground. The food is placed in a pit filled with hot coals, then covered and left to cook for around two hours. This method allows the food to be smoked, steamed, and grilled at the same time, creating a rich and unique flavour.
Breakfast
Breakfast Buffet
Flatbread, soft cheese, jams, hard-boiled eggs, hummus, ful medames, tomato, cucumber, za’atar, and olive oil, served with tea and coffee.
Bathroom Facilities
Each tent at our camp has its own private bathroom, including a wash basin, western toilet, and shower. The water is heated using solar energy.
Because water is limited in the desert, it is delivered to the camp by water trucks. Water is therefore a valuable resource, and we kindly ask guests to use it responsibly.
