Little Petra Bedouin Camp

A place where Bedouin traditions, the beauty of nature and a magical ambiance come together.

It's amazing

Reviewed By AlexisAurora

I spent 2 nights at Little Petra Bedouin Camp. It was an amazing experience. It's very relaxing and the people were very nice and friendly. The best part was the nighttime, you get to sit next to the fire and enjoy the tea. Besides, you can see a lot of stars too. The camp was very clean and well thought. At night time, you feel very romantic because of how's the light set up. I really enjoy my time there.

Unforgetable experience

Reviewed By violinar2020

I totally recommend Aqaba Adventure Divers! The team is very kind? They provide different levels of scuba diving - from beginners to super advanced. The diving instructors are just amazing! Such professionals and super kind from the start until the end of the diving experience. I enjoyed it a lot :) Regarding the hotel, with a clear conscience I can say that they have the best panoramic view in Aqaba, since I have been to other hotels there before. Thank you guys for the warm hospitality <3

Wadi Rum Green Desert

Wadi Rum is one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. During the day it is a tremendous, silent, breathtaking panorama. During the night it is a place of tranquility and peace under the dark sky as the flames of the campfire mixe with all the desert stars. Nowhere do the stars shine as brightly as in Wadi Rum. Our tours aim to help you experience the wonders of our ancient Desert home. We offer tours by Jeep, Camel and on foot of the incredible sights of Wadi Rum. Come try traditional Bedouin cuisine and spend the overnight stay right in the Desert surrounded by peacefulness and stars.

EXCEPTIONAL mediative and cathartic desert experience

Reviewed By Bogdan_Pavkovic

Serenity, hospitality, friendliness, mindfulness, flexibility, knowledge, storytelling, authenticity - a true Bedouin - Nadjah, Salman, and their family. Secluded between 3 rock faces, in touch with natural wonders, tucked away from noise and light pollution, relax and let your self to stargazing and listening to the birds, wind, and sand humming, wake up early, and, when lucky as I was, observe desert birds, camels, and rare desert fox. Comfy and spacious rooms, individual bathroom (shower and toilet), electricity (British plugs), huge panoramic window to enjoy the surroundings and sunrise (camp oriented south east). Food is cooked on the spot. Amazing breakfast included. For dinner enjoy the Bedouin Zarb (all you can eat) - slowly cooked selection of veggies, meat, and spicy meat mixture. Proceed with affordable drinks, and end it up with hospitality tea enjoyed around the camp fire - relax on your back on a mattress and get immersed in the sky full of stars. Maybe a shooting star will grant you a wish. ;) We booked a full day JEEP tour around the desert - worth each dinar invested, especially taken the fair price (no need to haggle and negotiate believe me). Wadi Rum experienced at your own pace, like it should be, explore in the morning and evening, rest and shelter during the worst heat wave. Nadjah have accommodated to our curiosity - we took looooooong stops at places we found mesmerizing, fast-forwarded the places when it was too hot or difficult for our 7 year daughter. Tour covers all the important parts of Wadi Rum but in a reverse order, plus some less explored parts that we loved so much. The most of the time you will be under impression of being alone - appreciate the silence and nature sounds. A long stop for lunch and rest resourced us for the rest of the adventure - Nadjah takes a special pride and takes care of homemade fresh cooking - we have wiped clean our bowls. :) Support and love. Nothing fell short of the expectations. :) We appreciated the friendliness, honesty, and discussions we had over the cup of tea or while enjoying the desert. Nadjah is curious and wiling to share but will also give you space when you need it. Transport from Disah is organized by the host. IMPORTANT: be respectful of the desert and camp: - use water with MODERATION (it is towed from the Disah by a truck) - respect the nature and silence - bring your own towels and toiletries - bring back your trash (plastic, aluminum, glass, etc.) - you can consider offering food scraps (e.g. water mellon peel) to your host to give to animals when suitable. ENJOY! P.S. Photos will come soon.

Reviewed By beyond-Petra

I was in a work visit near Madaba, and booked Tell madaba as of their 5 stars reviews on tripadvisor. The family there were so friendly and helping. We enjoyed the clean spacious room and the nice kitchen services near us . The local dish for dinner offered by Muneera was super delicious and money worth. I also can't forget the wonderful breakfast we had. If you are in Madaba or nearby, there would be no other choice better than this wonderful hotel, highly recommended!

The camp is small, intimate and very safe. It is considered to be the best location among them all for its distance from anything else. We are located south of the Protected Reserve, away from other tourists and surrounded by the best views ever.

Bedrooms are Bedouin tents, cozy and comfortable in every season, which open directly onto the desert and positioned to ensure our guests the best privacy . Rest rooms are modern and clean, with flush toilets and showers with hot and cold running water. The dining area is a traditional semi-enclosed Bedouin tent with lounge, where you can recline to chat and drink endless cups of tasty local tea around the fire while gazing up at the amazing desert starry night. Meals are delicious and freshly prepared on site following the ancient local tradition: You will have the occasion to be delighted by Zarb, a banquet of meat and vegetables slow-cooked the traditional way in an underground oven. Our Cook is committed to offer you the best quality and to meet all the dietary needs of our guests.

Mysk Kingfisher Retreat

The arid island landscape, water, air, and wildlife create an awe-inspiring encounter at Kalba on the east coast of Sharjah. Set on this piece of heaven enveloped by the Gulf of Oman is Mysk Kingfisher Retreat. The beauty of the pristine beach and Indian Ocean waters is matched perfectly by refined interiors in soft beiges, blues and desert browns. Savour the tranquillity as you kayak through the mangroves or watch the turtles hatch along the banks of the estuary. The retreat features activities, a SPA and a restaurant.

Lovely kibbutz hotel

Reviewed By Zebanuck

This is a really lovely kibbutz hotel right on the Lebanese border. Beautiful setting, each room is a separate cabin set in blocks of four. There are outside eating areas and bbq all over. Each room has a mini kitchen with microwave, sink and crockery. Breakfast was really great. The area is great for hiking and other activities and the hotel provide lots of inspiration as to where to go and what to do. Very well organised. The rooms are fine - a little bit shabby in places but acceptable. It’s a kibbutz hotel after all. If you’re looking for a comfortable place in the north and in nature, this is great. Perfect for groups.

Do not Trust Hotel

Reviewed By khalilalareh

I made a reservation through booking.com at The ray Hotel for 8 nights early of April as my stay is on 16th of May ..the Hotel tried many times to charge my credit card I contacted the Hotel they mentioned that my reservation is Non Refundable and they must charge my credit Card earlier and they canceled my reservation I made another one Refundable with free cancellation they did the same scenario and tried to charge my credit card, I called the Hotel again (international calls cost me than room rate honestly ) and they recommended to cancel my reservation through Booking.com and decided to make it through Hotel directly they mentioned this is the only way to stop trying to charge your credit card!! They kept pushing to cancel the reservation through booking.com We arrived the Hotel early the staff was very nice upon Check In and gave early check IN , but unfortunately I was surprised as there was 20% Commission for credit card payment As we checked and called hotel before if we can pay by credit card no one mentioned Commission !!!! Standard Room view is miserable and noisy we can’t sleep because front of the parking moreover no privacy we asked to change the room to a same category with quite & better view as we are a honeymooners as well and they kept mentioning that there is …..said will do their best at the first day to change the room, they offered a 600$ for the whole stay for upgrading us only to the next category…the second day we passed to the front desk and they offered 300$ …third day I showed them that Booking.com offers totally different rate for supplement at 110$ so they made a discounted rate as booking and this was inconvenient!!! Moreover I asked for invoice until now I did not receive it !!! I am very disappointed and I can’t trust Hotel again! This is not professional at all.

Haifa Hostel

Good stay

Reviewed By B T

I stayed in the single room for a few nights and found it to be OK. The location was excellent, 5 min walk from Haifa Hashmona train station and a 10 min walk or so from the lower Bahai Gardens. Lots of places to eat nearby. The room was fine, it had the bare essentials and was mostly clean, although there was a large and ugly stain on the ceilling. I didn't struggle to sleep, but it could be loud with noise from the road and guests in neighbouring rooms. I was lucky as my room was further away from the kitchen, shared bathroom and roof terrace.
