We compared many camps in the Wadi Rum Desert beforehand, but this one is really the best (which was also confirmed on the spot)! It is located at the extreme edge of the Protected Area, after which comes only the deep desert. This makes for a longer journey (on the jeep from the camp), but this is an exciting experience in itself – and definitely worth it! The silence in the camp and its surroundings is indescribable, the view from the local mountain (and also from the cabin) breathtaking and the sunset a true dream.
The tent cabins are incredibly comfortable and the whole complex is very well maintained and extremely clean, especially for being in the middle of the desert. The food is rich and delicious, and there is also plenty for vegetarians and vegans. Day trips are relaxed and impressive at the same time! In the evening, a campfire creates a cosy atmosphere, under a sparkling starry sky with delicious tea and exciting stories of Salem. A visit to Neumond is particularly recommended to admire the Milky Way in its full glory.
The people here are incredibly friendly! Salem is a great guy, his brothers also all nice and Frances the good soul of the camp.
We constantly talk about our stay at "Real Bedouin Experience" and plan to come back to Jordan sometime (hopefully very soon!)!
An unforgettable experience and highly recommended! Book with Salem – and preferably two nights directly to take the full experience with you! We have travelled a lot but have never been to such a magical place where you felt so far away from everything.
(Sorry Salem & Frances for the late review! The only tip: with the day trips more information and explanations would be nice. We look forward to next time! Nina & Andi)
