A Comfortable Stay with a Kind Host in Wadi Rum

Our experience at Awad's camp was good. Awad welcomed us warmly and helped arrange a jeep tour of the area. The camp is quiet and clean, and the meals he provided were simple and satisfying. The room was suitable for a comfortable night in the desert. Awad is a friendly and helpful person who tried to make our stay easy. The location is away from the crowds, offering privacy and peace.

Perfectly located in the middle of the desert, away from lights and noise. The tents are simple but comfortable, with good beds and warm blankets. What truly makes this place special is the hospitality. Awwad is an incredible host and guide. We stayed one night and booked a full-day Wadi Rum trip, which was perfectly organized and completely stress-free, from pickup to drop-off. He showed us unique places, shared his incredible knowledge and prepared an amazing lunch. It was a beautiful, relaxing day. Awwad is also a very responsible driver, and the modern car is a big plus in this area. Highly recommend!

Every detail impressed us - from the tasty meals to the warm staff. Special thanks to Awaad and his team for their friendly, professional service. For an unforgettable mix of adventure and comfort, this is ideal. We'll cherish these memories

Awaad made us feel like we were on a truly private journey from start to finish. He meticulously arranged our transportation to Wadi Rum with perfect precision and was consistently prompt in responding to all our inquiries throughout the trip. The entire team operated at the highest level of professionalism and hospitality. The chefs prepared delicious traditional meals, and the drivers demonstrated expert knowledge of desert routes. What sets Awaad apart is his dedication and attention to detail - he made every aspect feel tailor-made for us. Special thanks to Awaad and the wonderful team for these beautiful memories we'll cherish forever. I highly recommend this unique experience with this extraordinary team.

From start to finish, this desert experience was perfection. The underground-cooked meals (Zarb) were a culinary highlight—rich, smoky flavors that showcased true Bedouin tradition. The buffet offered excellent variety, including delicious vegetarian options that went beyond typical offerings. The full-day jeep tour was exceptional. Our guide, a true desert expert, prepared a fresh lunch on-site that tasted incredible. His deep knowledge of the terrain, wildlife, and local culture made every moment fascinating. Sunset with traditional Bedouin tea was magical—a peaceful moment that captured the soul of the desert. Special thanks to Awwad and his professional team for their warm hospitality and attention to detail. For travelers seeking authenticity paired with excellent organization, this experience is a must. Every element—from food to activities—reflects deep respect for desert traditions.

My stay at this place was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. Awwad and the team were incredibly welcoming and professional, and everything was well-organized. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious, offering authentic local flavors. The jeep tour was outstanding, and our guide Faisal was fantastic – very knowledgeable and experienced. He took us to beautiful spots and explained so much about the area. Watching the sunset in the desert was magical, and the camel ride added a unique touch to the experience. I highly recommend staying here – everything was simply perfect!

Our stay at this desert camp was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The camp was perfect—clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed to offer an authentic desert experience without sacrificing basic comforts. The activities were the highlight of our trip. The sunset camel ride was peaceful and magical, while the dune bashing in the 4x4 was thrilling. Our guide, Said, was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He made sure we felt safe and entertained throughout our adventure. The food was delicious, especially the dinner under the stars—a perfect mix of local flavors and a romantic atmosphere. The price was very reasonable for the quality of service we received. Honestly, this experience was so good that it made us want to come back. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. I highly recommend this camp to anyone looking for a genuine and memorable desert adventure.

Perfect stay

What a great stay! Even before I arrived, Awad provided me with information and organised my arrival and departure from the camp perfectly. The camp itself is small, not one of those horrible glamour camps that in my opinion shouldnt be in the desert, this one is away from other camps, so that you have a dreamlike peace and quiet. The jeep tour(s) are a must, the food is delicious and although I was there already for three nights, I would have liked to stay longer.

Desert flower 🌸

We had a wonderful time in Wadi Rum. We ended up staying 6 nights only and it was a spiritual journey. Awad and his cousins are absolutely cool and helpful. We also booked 2 days Jeep Tour (which I recommend), the both tour was amazing and absolutely worth it. We got also lunch, cooked outside. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience with the best people around us. ❤ I hope we will see euch other in the future again. About the camp: it's not a luxury camp, but we loved it, the atmosphere of this place is not comparable to a hotel or an airbnb. You must feel it and live it. It was also a digital detox for us, because we had no Internet in the desert. We also had 2 days on our own, walking around the stones and explore the wonderful nature. Long story short: I could write 1000 words it couldn't describe the wonderful time we had here! Thank you so much 💓
