Bedouin Lifestyle Camp

The location, the atmosphere, the people of the staff for their availability, friendliness and attitude.

The mountain prevents to see the sunrise.

First of all, you must already know that this is a camp in middle of beautiful desert. By saying that, it is quite a cozy camp. The permanent tent rooms have relatively comfortable bed and blankets as well as electricity until 10pm. There is shared bathroom with modern toilets and common tent with charging facility for your cameras and camcorders. So what else do you need to enjoy the red rocks, sand dunes and starry skies while getting the taste of Bedouin lifestyle? The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Ali and Petra went out of their way and took good care of us while we were there. Highly recommended.

The staff was quick to answer my email questions about available options for my family of four to enjoy in the desert. They were very practical, and took the needs of our small kids to heart in recommendations. When we arrived and decided we wanted to do more than we had planned, they quickly made arrangements for us, and there was room in a jeep for our family and another couple. We took a four-hour jeep ride, and there was something for everyone at each stop--petroglyphs, a spring where camels drink, the site where T.E. Lawrence lived, and huge soft dunes of red sand to run or roll down. It was a great mix of driving through the desert and stopping to explore and enjoy. The tour guide got us back to camp to experience a quiet sunset in the small hills nearby. Around the camp fire, Bedouin played music, my kids danced, and we all sipped tea. They explained how the food was prepared--it was delicious!!! After dinner, they talked about Bedouin history and their lives in the desert, and asked if we had any questions. Stars shone extra-brightly with no light pollution. When the generator went off at 10 p.m., our hosts encouraged us to enjoy the desert, but to keep it quiet, so everyone could enjoy it. The camp was magically still. One man stayed up to photograph the stars with time-lapse photography. I heard our host tell him what cushions and linens he could take to sleep under the stars. We were bleary-eyed from hiking Petra that morning and fell into a dead sleep immediately. The whole experience was personable and satisfying. There was plenty of room for all my camera gear in the jeep we took on our tour. There were locks on the tent doors, so we could secure our belongings during dinner. We brought plenty of water for tooling around, and there were water bottles available during dinner. We took a short camel ride back to the Rum village the next morning, and our bags were waiting for us at our hosts home, where we had parked.

There wasn't anything I didn't like, really, but I can see one might be surprised if one came to the desert and didn't bring a flashlight, or expected his and hers bathrooms. The camp has plans to install solar power in the future, and to build a second bathroom. But for now, two hours of power to recharge batteries and change in tents by hanging lamp was plenty for us in the evening. The existing bathroom has full doors on all stalls, european style toilets, and was plenty modest and comfortable for us. We had a wonderful stay--a favorite in all my travels so far. My one regret is that we only stayed one night--I would love to have stayed longer, taken another tour to other parts of the desert, and spent more time quietly enjoying the camp.

Very helpful, great food, wonderful hosts, amazing scenery

Amazing stay in Wadi Rum!. We were met at the visitor centre and taken to the head office where we were shown the activities and prices for the next couple of days.We were immediately on a 4 hour tour of the desert with our guide Allah. On arrival at the camp we were shown our accommodation, .which as expected was basic but comfortable. After watching an amazing sunset, we had a superb beduin dinner and waited for the magical display from the night sky. Our tour/hike the next day took us to more amazing places and again the guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and above all a good friend. This camp is highly recommended!!

Staff extremely friendly and happy to assist. Fantastic setting in the desert of Wadi Rum - spectacular Food beautiful and great way we were shown how it was cooked.

The staff were really friendly. Location of the camp in the desert (with a starlit night) was great. Tour by jeep was great value and the driver was very easy-going. Highly recommended.

We liked the kindness of the staff and the contact with the bedouin. Also the proximity with the people in the camp. Tha staff made us feel at home. The setting was also superb!!

the shower was not good

Overall good, insight main protective area, style is very basic camping, but fun for one night, memorable....

They should separate the one and only very basic bathroom or wash facilities into male and female, any sort of light in the loo would be useful as well. Food very basic, but good.

The entire experience at the camp was too good. We were overwhelmed with the hospitality of the people. The owner himself and his family runs the camp and they are very friendly, helpful and great people. Attalah, Ala, Ali everyone was amazing and helped us out lot. Very safe, comfortable & affortable place to stay.

Good camp, good food and good tent and good staff Highly recommended.

After considerable research, we chose to stay at Bedouin Lifestyle Camp. Attallah and his friends were the most welcoming hosts, they made sure we had everything we needed. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. Highly recommended.

Camp propre bien situé dans le Wadi Rum, au pied d'une falaise, pas d’électricité (et oui c'est le désert!) mais eau "courante" (douche, WC et lavabo). Tentes propres, très bonne ambiance après le diner avec chant bédouin et dance. Séjour inoubliable avec Attalah et ses amis bédouins!

La gentilezza del personale e delle guide nelle escursioni (ne abbiamo provate due). L'ospitalità e l'intrattenimento beduino serale. Ottima la carne cotta alla maniera tradizionale.

Il campo non è un albergo quindi non bisogna avere aspettative diverse da un campeggio. Le cose che potrebbero essere migliorate sono: più illuminazione nei bagni la sera e inserire delle pietanze occidentale nella colazione. Per il resto va benissimo.

In ottima posizione e molto bene organizzato. Abbiamo lasciato la nostra auto (non 4x4) al Rum village e lì ci hanno organizzato un bellissimo il tour di 6 ore nel deserto e poi portato al campo per la cena ed il pernottamento. Il giorno dopo ci hanno riaccompagnato alla nostra auto. La tenda per due persone era molto pulita e buona la cena

los beduinos muy amables y simpáticos. fuimos con un niño de 2 años y le gustó mucho. el tour en jeep muy interesante. la cena era riquísima. en general todo muy bien. muy recomendable.

Nos alojamos 2 noches en este campamento y nos hubiera gustado quedarnos mas pero se nos acabaron las vacaciones. La comida era excelente, cocinada de la manera tradicional bajo tierra. El equipo muy amable y servicial. Como una gran familia, nos sentamos alrededor de la chimenea, bebiendo té, nos contaron historias y escuchamos música tradicional beduina. Las tiendas tenían camas de verdad y había suficientes mantas gruesas. Llevamos estas para mirar las estrellas desde la duna de arena cercana antes de acostarnos. Había demasiado frío para dormir fuera, pero la próxima vez lo haremos sin duda. Incluso tenían duchas en el campamento. Todo estaba limpio y bien cuidado. Durante el día hizimos la excursión en jeep y vimos la belleza del desierto. En las dunas de arena nuestro guía nos animó a probar la tabla de snow, que está disponible gratuitamente. ¡Qué divertido! El almuerzo fue cocinado a fuego abierto en el medio del desierto para nosotros, simple pero rico. Esperamos que pronto seramos capaces de volver, aún hay mucho por descubrir, y este campamento y la amabilidad de los beduinos vale la pena.

Nous avons aimé l'emplacement en plein désert, l'ambiance bivouac, les soirées autour du feu à regarder les étoiles sans oublier l'accueil par attallah le responsable du camp et les excursions proposées par le camp.

Dépaysement garanti , au milieu du désert.Dormir sous une tente bédouine, dans de vrais lits, avec des draps, le tout très propre. Douches et toilettes à disposition. Le soir apéritif bédouin au thé à la menthe autour d'un feu de camp, et bbq traditionnel ! Très bonne journée à visiter le Wadi Rum sur les conseils d'Attalla qui nous a bien reçu. A ne pas manquer.

Campement bédouin calme et familial. Accueil chaleureux, soirée originale avec thé à la menthe à volonté, copieux et excellent dîner cuit dans le sable, musique et chants traditionnels autour du feu de bois...Nuit sous la tente mais avec de vrais lits, draps et couvertures, bon matelas, très bien dormi ! WC, douches et lavabos communs, mais bon c'est quand même du camping !!! Balade en 4x4 dans le désert avec l'un des frères du "chef", 4 à 5 heures environ sont nécessaires pour découvrir les principales curiosités du Wadi Rum, inoubliable ! un peu coûteux au final mais franchement à ne pas louper !!!

Die Lae und Stille in der Wüste

Die sanitären Anlagen war defekt,

мое пребывание в лагере и предложенные экскурсии оставили незабываемые впечатления. прекрасная кухня, отличное месторасположение. гид показал многое. даже провел восхождение на "верхний мост".в лагере работают молодые ребята бедуины. очень стараются для туристов. цены классные. весьма рекомендую.

Vriendelijke mensen.Mooie locatie.Typische jordaans eten (wel met de handen eten natuurlijk !) Echt een woestijn ervaring met voldoende thee en kampvuur ! De bedden zijn prima alleen ik zou wel eigen lakens meebrengen ivm zand (logisch in de woestijn)

Sanitair was niet proper. Eten is typisch jordaans en eenvoudig maar smaakvol. Kosten voor het diner (12.5 JOD pp) is misschien iets hoog voor locale begrippen. Daarentegen is overnachting goedkoop.

Underbart att bo mitt i Wadi Rum. Trevlig guidning runt och härlig måltid på kvällen. Man gjorde sitt bästa för att vi skulle trivas.

Lakanen var av nopprigt syntetmaterial, sängen hård och gemensam toalett/ dusch vilket var lite jobbigt, men de såg ut att bygga en ny toaanläggning med separata ingångar.

All the staff is really nice and available. To reccommend.
