Real Bedouin Experience Tours & Camp welcomes you to Wadi Rum!
When you arrive in the Wadi Rum area, you will first come to the Wadi Rum Visitor Centre, the gateway to the Wadi Rum Protected Area. Driving a further 7.5 kms along the road you will reach Wadi Rum village. At the entrance to the village is a tourist car park, which is free and safe to park your car during your visit. Next to the car park is the Wadi Rum Rest House, where we will meet you on your arrival.
The Wadi Rum Rest House is the meeting place for 1) transfer by jeep into the desert for your overnight stay at our camp, if you arrive an hour or two before sunset, or, 2) the start of your tour, if you arrive earlier in the day. If you are staying overnight with us, then the guide will bring you to our camp before sunset, at the end of your day tour. Our camp is located deep in the Wadi Rum Protected Area, 11 kms south of Wadi Rum village, in the quiet of Um Sabatah, an area well-known for spectacular sunset views. We offer simplicity and comfort, clean facilities, cosy sleeping tents, delicious traditionally-cooked food, conversation and song around a warm fire, and always a cup of Bedouin tea. Above us the night sky is filled with stars, and on dark nights you can see the MIlky Way clearly, and if you are lucky, many shooting stars. Forget 5-star hotels, because we truly provide a billion-star night for you - the real Bedouin experience. Day activities include jeep tours, desert hiking, camel rides, and mountain hikes. Our guides know their desert well, and love to share their knowledge of desert life and Bedouin culture. Our tours are described on this website, and we can make some adjustment to suit you. Just ask. We welcome any queries you may have before you book your tour and overnight with us. Let us know what time you have availble to be in Wadi Rum and we are happy to help you plan your visit. Our policy is no hidden costs and no haggling over prices when you arrive. When you book through our booking page we will send confirmation (if we have availability) and full information - and no payment is due until the end of your visit. Our commitment is to provide a great Wadi Rum experience because we want to give you memories to last a lifetime. |

What our guests say about our tours...
" Salem is an expert tour guide. He knows how to rhythm a trip, tailoring it to the guests and their particular desires (and even discomforts). I was moved by the way he talked about Wadi Rum..." Guest from USA, August 2021 "We booked the 4x4 afternoon tour with an overnight stay. Salem and his brother were perfect hosts, sharing their culture and showing us wonderful sights and provided excellent food. We even did the sleeping under the stars experience which was magical..." Guest from UK, March 2022 |
"The ultimate highlight was our experience sleeping under the stars! I will never forget waking up in the middle of the night, surrounded by desert, feeling calm and content, cosy and warm, and looking up to see three shooting stars! Magical! Guest from England, August 2019 "A dream come true Was an amazing experience, we loved every moment spent in this place... We suggest the full day 4x4 tour, it's wonderful." Guest from Italy, May 2020 |
"Super recommended!!! Amazing experience! We absolutely suggest this safari tour and accomodation. Everything perfect!!" Guest from Italy, March 2022 "Salem was a very gracious and friendly host and he guided us on a climb up to Burdah bridge and a full day 4x4 tour. He is full of information and prepared a very nice lunch in a quiet scenic area. He showed us how to use plants and herbs to make great tea and even to make a natural soap to clean hands with..."

Overnight at our camp
From our guests....
"I stayed a night, I could have stayed a week. It was wilderness with the rugged feel of actually being in the desert; but it was luxury, with excellent bathrooms, showers, comfortable sleeping tents and terrific food/tea. There was no AC, but even in early August, I honestly didn't feel the need for it, especially as the sun fell." Guest from USA, August 2021 "Best spot in Wadi Rum If you’re looking for the best guidance through Wadi Rum, delicious food, authentic Bedouin stories at a camp fire and the best spot for shooting stars, this is the place! Salem and his team made sure our trip was everything we dreamt of and provided the greatest hospitality in Jordan." Guest from Belgium, September 2021 |
"The beauty of the desert was perfectly complemented by the excellent hospitality..... Accommodation in tents deep into the desert was very comfortable, bathrooms clean and food was excellent ..... Gathering around firepit after dinner to share stories and life experiences was another highlight. We truly felt immersed in the bedouin culture." Guest from Malta, March 2022 "For those who are looking for an authentic experience in a remote area, you’ll love it. Team is helpful, welcoming, friendly, and adapt to your personal wishes. Food, campfire, transportation, stunning and breathtaking scenery… everything was perfect...." Guest from France, January 2022 |
"I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Salem and his camp to anyone thinking of travelling to Wadi Rum." Guest from UK, March 2022 "Really, best camp in Wadi Rum. Great location with panoramic view. Delicious food. And most important fantastic hosts! We felt like at home! I highly recommend this camp. Thank you for all!" Guest from Poland, September 2021 "Very clean facilities.

Our guests talk about our location....
"Just book! You won't regret it I purposely chose this camp for its remote location and good reviews, and happily it was a fantastic experience. The camp is practically the last one before the wide expanse of the desert, and it's in a beautiful location with a little hill just behind it for perfect sunsets... Guest from Malta, November 2021 "Camp is one of the last camps in the dessert... you can fully experience the desert." Guest, September 2021 |
"The camp is beautiful. It is truly on the edge of wide wilderness, no other camps blocking the view of the terrific sunset..." Guest from USA, August 2021 enjoy real bedouin hospitality here! This camp has the best location of all in the fantastic landscape of Wadi Rum! It has spectacular sunset views and is really quiet. I felt at home immediately, also because of the true bedouin hospitality. Guest, November 2019 |
"The view from the camp? The most beautiful thing I have ever seen from a 'hotel' (good beds and sanitary)..." Guest from Netherlands, October 2021 ".....the camp location is absolutely stunning.... It is super quiet, clean and tents comfortable.... it was an experience we will never forget, watching the stars and drinking tea by the fire.... I highly recommend booking your tour and overnight stay here. The people we met was all so funny and kind. The camp location is the best in the whole Wadi Rum area." Guest from Denmark, November 2019 |
