Hotels near Al Ḩumaymah al Jadīdah

When you imagine that you travel to a friends who lives at the village in Europe, what would you expect? Probably village life, which is different than the one in the city. What would you expect when you travel to desert? Probably much less confortable place than you can find here at MalakoRum. Very confortable rooms, european type of toilet, hot shower (we vere there just at the end of calendar year - so in winter time). Wow and such delicious dinner freshly cooked by the hosts. The stay for us was like visiting friends who moved to desert to farm there. So we expected animals around, and we loved it. When you see beduins next the desert streets they have also animals around. So the experience from the desert life was way more much authentic then the games played to tourist elsevere. We expected and loved that touch of authenticity. Jo was very kind all the time to explain all the things we were curious about - desert life,geology, history etc. and she turn to be very rich well of knowledge. She offered us a hiking tour in the mountains around and it was unexpectedly experience with a little climbing at the top of near hill top with wonderful view. Jafar may seem to be harsh and bitter, as the desert fruit are, on the first glance. But when you let to know him a little bit more you will find the cool and broad hearted man you can love. We had four-wheeler car so we wanted to travel more in desert, but without any experience of desert ride. Jo and Jafar helped us to plan our little desert trip, just for the time we had. That trip was also wonderful experience which we would have not undergo without the help of our "desert" friends. Thank you for encouraging and helping.

Eid offers a wonderful camp in the middle of the desert. The tents are fairly new and in great condition. The view of the desert right from your bed is just breath-taking. The silence of the desert is an experience to be lived. The room is clean but you should be ready to live in the desert; open door and wind quickly bring sand in the room but this is desert after all. Eid is a great host and does his best to make you feel appreciated, safe and comfortable while you are alone in the middle of the desert. The dinner was enormous and of great variety and quality, the breakfast good too. Air conditioning works nicely, Wifi works too but do not expect voice calls or streaming, yet good for messages and browsing. This camp may appear as overpriced compared to others but Eid offers clear and honest booking including meals, drinks and transfer, things that others charge as extra. His offers were also clear when it comes to desert tours or other activities. A lifetime experience that is worth living for one or two days stay.

Big window for view. Excellent star gazing. Host lent us a cool box because there is no fridge

The staff were pleasant and professional.

Service, cleanliness space and overall experience was exceptional. They even upgraded us to the bubble luxotel on our 2nd day which was a nice surprise. We really enjoyed the UFO bubbles. Dinner and breakfasts were pretty good, lots of options.

Fantastic location in Wadi Rum, a great stay! Hassan was an incredible host, from booking to getting to the accommodation he was more than happy to help, we had a great tour around Wadi Rum with Hassan, he really is a top host.

Clean camp, easy to use restroom, good value for money, nice Saif treated us like family, thanks for everything
