    This whole trip was superb. Mahdi is the best, he helped me arrange a surprise birthday cake for my friends birthday. We loved the tour, and the workers were so sweet. I will definitely be coming back inshallah — the best camp in Wadi Rum.

    Mojahed and Mahdi run the Candles Camp with great enthusiasm and dedication. We spent two nights there, took the full day tour and spent a day hiking the great surroundings of the camp. A very special experience. We felt welcome at all times....

    Everyone was super nice and welcoming. The full day Jeep tour definitely is a highlight, with watching the sunset with some tea on a mountain at the end of the tour.
