Obeid and his sons are the real deal. In a world of Instagram moments and bubble camps, it was so relaxing to stay with them. Highly recommended. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. 💗

- Family-run business with great hosts and great communication via WhatsApp - They picked us up from the Visitors center and helped with all the paperwork that was required to enter Wadi Rum - Food was amazing (breakfast, light lunch, bbq dinner) - Great room, clean with outstanding desert views - We did the 6 hour jeep tour and 1 hour camel ride. Our guide was Mohammad, one of Obeid's sons. We had such a great time with him all day!

Fantastic stay with great people and amazing location!

The room, the food, the hosts, all very good and recommendable. We had a great time and the place is very welcoming and so are the people there. I cannot understand some of the comments mentioning surprises when it comes to paying the activities or the dinner: Obeid sent us before the list of all activities and their prices and it was all as explained and promised, so very professional. If you want a very local experience with extremely friendly hosts, this is your place. Apart from that the food was amazing and more than you can eat. Perfect stay! Thank you very much!

REAL BEDUIN CAMP WITH FAMILY SPIRIT

There is no better way to spend time in wadi rum than in obeid's camp. We spent 4 days in the desert. Obdei's son Mohammed took great care of us. There was a very good meal every evening, plenty of tea, a fire in the communal tent and pleasant get-togethers. The room was great. With its own bathroom and panoramic windows, it exceeded our expectations. We recommend everyone interested in Wadi Rum to visit Obeids camp.

Winter desert

This year, we managed to find cheap flight tickets at the beginning of the year, so now four of us returned to Jordan, taking two children with us. Visiting Wadi Rum is an unmissable part of the program. Based on the experience of previous years, we booked accommodation in the Obeid's camp. The afternoon jeep tour was enjoyable: we drove approx. for two hours, Mohammed showed us several interesting sights, he also stopped with us at a places where we asked, the children were able to climb several sand dunes. We could also enjoy the sunset from a point with a great view, although the weather was quite cool at that time. When we got back to the camp, we had a very delicious barbecue dinner, the tasty food and hot tea were good in the cool evening. We sat by the fire in the community tent for a long time, the children also had fun with Mohammed. We booked a four-bed room with a bathroom. The room was comfortable and the warm shower was nice after the long day. Although the night was cold, we did not fell cold under the blankets. In the morning, we started the day by the campfire again, the hot tea and breakfast were good again. Another jeep tour followed, then around noon we were taken back to the visitor center, from where we joined the other tourists and traveled back to Aqaba. Our small group had a great time, we were very satisfied with the program, accomodation and food.

This has to be the best camp in Wadi Rum desert.

My stay at Obeid's Bedouin Camp was the highlight of my trip to Jordan. The camp is situated in a beautiful part of the Wadi Rum reserve, and the hospitality of the family and staff is spontaneous. Obeid's direct communication with me started before I left for my trip, and he and his family were always accommodating. They  made me feel right at home when I arrived at the camp, having picked me up from my hotel in Aqaba. The kettle was always on, and the zarb dinner, prepared in the traditional manner, was so good. The four hour jeep trip through this awesome desert was incredible with the driver and guide Salem, one of Obid's sons, sharing his knowledge of the desert and of the Bedouin way of life and culture He brought fun to the experience with his love of music, which was infectious, with the radio playing what I called Jordanian rock and roll as we drove through the desert. The room was beautifully furnished, spacious, warm, and comfortable with good wifi. I highly recommend this camp for the generous family who run it and for the welcoming, relaxed, and authentic Bedouin experience they provide.

I absolutly offer this camp to spend time and feel very well in this beautiful country.

It wasfantastic to spend a day and night in this camp. Obeid’s family was very kind. Our apartment was clean, silent. The atmosphere of the whole camp is great, like a real bedouin camp. The jeep tour in the desert was unforgettable. Obein’s son showed to us a lot of beautiful sights. We loved the real handmade breakfast and authentic bedouin dinner. The best place to see the sunset.

We had a really nice time at Obeid's camp, it is at a really good location, the view for the desert is super nice from the place. We even got a room upgrade because a tent with private bathroom was available. Obeid's son picked us up from the visitor center, he cooked us really tasty meals and gave us a jeep tour of Wadi Rum. They also helped us catching the bus to Petra. There was also wifi in the camp - I totally didn't expect that
