Our camp prides itself with its unique location, embedded between 2 rock formations with great views of the surrounding area even directly from your bed. Our Rooms are styled in local decor and each has its private bathroom and cozy vibes. We are flexible and your satisfaction is important to us.
Jalil Zawaideh, 27 years old, I was born in the village Aldisa in Wadi Rum and this place is my home so i know all the desert and location growing up here. I enjoy working in tourism and meeting and welcoming people in my camp and have a lot of experience as a tour guide. Bedouin hospitality is an important part of our lifestyle and we apply this in our business also. We are looking forward to have you in our camp and help you explore the desert via jeep or camel or even hot air balloon.
