    Everything was good.

    Wonderful experience to sleep in the hills near Little Petra. Tasty local food served in traditional style. Very friendly staff who were happy to help in any way needed. A fantastic way to understand a little more about the Bedouin way of life.

    Parking and entering the camp was a little confusing. There’s no cell service in the parking area so you can’t call for assistance. Fortunately we had a local driver and he was able to figure it out.

    It was very remote and quiet. It was off season ( February) and we were the only guests. The staff was very friendly and the dinner and breakfast were terrific. It was cold but we were perfectly comfortable in the tent with blankets. The fire and tea in the communal tent just perfect.

    It can be cold at night

    The camp is located right next to Little Petra and easy to find. Hot water is available for showering. The dinner is hearty and delicious. The camp is run by Ammarin tribe, so we can truly experience a Bedouin camp. The staffs are very helpful and hospitable. They tried their best to help our car escape from the sand. Additionally, the landscape at night is amazing with a starry sky.

    Very nice staff. Great and unique location. Unlike other new facilities in the area, you can touch real baduien hospitality during the stay there. We arrived late when we found one of their staff waiting for us to arrive next to the main road.

    Bathrooms and showers were clean but maybe more attention and more maintenance will help looking even better.

    We enjoyed our stay in this Bedouin camp ! By discussions with the host I found out that this is the oldest camp in the area, 22 years old ! (Newer camps have access directly from the road) We were surrendered by mountains - during the day is hot and over the night is cold (1 blanchet is good enough). Sweetened and unsweetened tea is available all time near fire. Dinner is a combination of continental+ Bedouin/arabic dishes with some diversity and plenty quantity. Breakfast is a continental one. Overall nice experience!

    Our stay at Ammarin Bedouin Camp was fabulous! The location is beautiful and private. We loved the experience of staying in a Bedouin camp. We sat in the main Bedouin tent decorated in the traditional rugs and pillows and enjoyed tea by the fire. Afterwards they served us a fabulous dinner. The night was full of stars and eerie noises of the desert. We loved it! Breakfast is also included. If you plan to come, you can arrange with the host to be picked up in a 4x4 truck by the entrance to Petra and be driven right to the camp for a small fee (we paid 10 JD for the ride). They can also take you back in the morning. I would highly recommend this place for those who desire the experience of staying in a Bedouin camp. Our hosts were so friendly and attentive. We are thrilled to have stayed here. Side note: If you come in the winter months, bring a jacket. The desert is surprisingly cold at that time. Enjoy!

    We had the camp to ourselves with my 12yo son. We enjoyed it a lot. The fun started right upon arrival when our car got stuck in the sand. The owner helped us out of the tricky situation and then provided us with tea, food and all the comforts. Behind the camp, we discovered a sand dune where we had a blast, and the dinner was simply fabulous. Perhaps the best during our entire stay in Jordan. Thank you very much!

    The shared shower/toilet block needs updating and maybe extending. The water pressure was also a little variable.

    The camp is tucked away behind some hills near Little Petra. You stay in Bedouin style huts with a big communal Bedouin tent for meals. The staff were incredibly welcoming especially Marcella and her Egyptian assistant who are both fantastic. They helped arrange a guided hike to the Monastery from Little Petra and were always keen to help. The communal tent was cosy and authentic and a good place to meet others. As was the fire pit outside.

    What a place. The camp is in a beautiful, peaceful, cool, natural rock hollow. Marcella, Eid and the team are really helpful and friendly. At night if you walk a little distance from the camp fire you get a real sky full of stars. Overall a great stay. Also walking distance to little petra which is worth a visit - the the coffee shop at the top of the stairs in little petra is great.

    Exceptional community based project for the Ammerin tribe

    I absolutely love everything about this property. Please support the project and please don't be like other tourist I saw and help pick up your dishes and collaborate in the project as a respectable human being. I love Ammerin community and its people. Most welcoming and loving people I've ever met.

    This is a real community based Bedouin Camp, which means it is not only a “place to stay” but a community project which defends and guarantees the rights of the Ammarin tribe to this land. For any conscious traveller out there, I want to say that this is the kind of projects we should all be supporting if we want to see the region strive and prosper in a sustainable and healthy way. Avoid going to the fake, “luxury” hotels in Wadi Mussa and instead give yourself a chance to support something that is worth more than anything else in the world: the preservation of this beautifully land and the culture of the people that have the right to inhabit it.

    The tent is not soundproof, and when we wanted to sleep, we were disturbed by the sounds coming from outside.

    The camp is located very close to Little Petra and among the hills. It was enjoyable to watch the hills and stars at night. The staff were very polite and helpful, they made us tea by the fire. Normally they make tea with sugar, but when we said we wanted it without sugar, they made it again for us. Moreover, they remembered this and made tea for us for breakfast. We had a traditional meal for dinner. It was an amazing experience for us.
