Our camp features 11 traditional Bedouin-style tents designed to combine comfort with an authentic desert experience. Each tent offers cozy bedding, peaceful surroundings, and stunning mountain views. Guests can enjoy Bedouin cuisine, sit by the campfire, and gaze at the clear night sky full of stars. The camp is located in a quiet area of Wadi Rum, offering a perfect escape into nature and a true taste of Bedouin life.
Welcome to our camp in the heart of Wadi Rum, where the desert’s silence meets the Bedouin spirit. Our team was born and raised among these red mountains, and we take great pride in sharing the traditions, stories, and beauty of our homeland with every guest. We love hosting travelers from around the world helping them disconnect from the noise of daily life and connect instead with the peace of the desert. Whether you’re joining us for a jeep tour, a starlit dinner, or a night in our cozy tents, we’ll make sure you experience the real Bedouin hospitality. In our free time, we enjoy exploring hidden canyons, watching the sunset from the highest dunes, and preparing traditional meals over an open fire. For us, hosting is not just work — it’s a way to make friends and share our love for Wadi Rum’s magic.
