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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Starlight Camp

Great experience!

Reviewed By Gipfel66

The camp is situated on a great location, with view at the sunset. Nice place a little up the mountain where you can lounge with a cup of tea. Great Zarb dinner, very tasty, and made in the underground oven by the great cook, and very good breakfast! We were very happy with guide Rachid! Knows a lot about the desert. And life there. We were also happy with the clear prices provided by Suleiman. We have read a lot about hidden costs in Wadi Rum, but Suleiman was very clear, so no problems with that. Last thing: Tents are clean, ans although sanitary is very basic ( which is to be expected in a desert camp) it is also clean and sufficient. We had a great time!

We would be glad to help you arrange any other activities that we may not offer.Accomodation:Our traditional tents are comfortably adapted for the perfect combination of the simple Bedouin style and your pleasant stay. We have different tent types available: 1 double bed, 2 single beds, 3 single beds, and 6 single beds, and can sleep a total of 17 people.

Private toilets and shower are located outside of the tents.Cleanliness and good care are always two important elements in the management of our camp facilities.Location:Salman Zwaidh Camp is located inside the Protected Area of Wadi Rum, just a 15min Jeep ride from the Visitor Centre. In one side, the camp is surrounded by beautiful orange-colored rock mountains. The big wall formed provides shelter to some species of little birds, that will come around to sing to you from time to time. The most adventurous consider it a good scrambling area to go appreciate the panorama view from the natural cave up there. An alternative walk from behind the mountain is accessible if you want to join them.A few steps away, on the other side of the camp, the scene opens over a wide desert corridor, where the eyes can reach the mountains on the horizon further ahead. There, you will be privileged by being right at one of the best local famous sunset and sunrise spots, an experience that will assure you feel the essence of the desert, combining beauty and tranquility into a show of lights that will connect you directly to the nature. At night, you will be amazed by the appreciation of the silence under the stars or walks guided by a full-moon sky. A two-minute walk will take you to smooth sand dunes, allowing fun day slides or calm night talks.

I got more than I expected for the price I paid.

I spent one night in the camp and the accommodation is more than good, the staff is very approachable, unobtrusive and modest. We had a nice trip in the desert where we took some nice photos. The evening and breakfast were neat. In any case, you get a lot for a pretty low price.

I operate a traditional Bedouin style camp in the desert of Wadi Rum. It has a main tent for socialising and eating as well as a small cave with fire which serves the same purpose. There is space to sleep outside under the star filled sky or smaller tents for sleeping if you prefer as well as a shared bathroom for your convenience.

Arabian night with day trip deep into the Wadi

Reviewed By walfisch

We had a really great day out (well, half a day, but it took longer) in Wadi Rum. Not taking the camels we did miss a bit of the Lawrence of Arabia feeling but the landscape is amazing. We arrived in Wadi Rum village the evening before and were directed to the parking place where our guide met us. From there we were taken to the camp and shown the facilities. It was January and there was only one couple in addition to us. Dinner was traditional arabic sitting around an open fire. We had extra blankets but the 'room' was very comfortable anyway and so slept well. The facilities were well maintained and clean. We were lucky that the owner was our guide and we had a really informative trip to most of the best places, including lunch with his cousin's family somewhere far out in the wadi. Would definitely recommend the Milky Way!
