Wadi Rum Caravan Camp is inside the protected reserve park of Wadi Rum. At our camp, each tent is raised from ground level. The outer covering of the tent is the traditional black goat-hair tent, while the interior material is the Bedouin decorative design. Each tent has beds with mattresses, sheets, blankets, and pillows. The indoor lounge/common seating area is also raised off the ground furnished with cushions, pillow, and tables. We also have a large banquet/meeting tent for large groups, events, or weddings with traditional Bedouin style furnishings. Our camp has hot water, showers, western toilets, and wireless internet available for our guests. Traditional Bedouin dinners are cooked fresh on premise. Breakfast includes local and international foods. Lunches can also be arranged. Complimentary Bedouin tea is served all day to our guests. When the camp has many bookings, we have live Arabic music played in the lounge in the evenings. Arab water pipe flavored smoking can be arranged in the camp. Wadi Rum Caravan Camp organizes tours like jeep tours, camel tours, hiking/trekking tours, hot air-balloon rides (seasonal), and horse riding.
I am the co-owner of the camp. I was born in Petra but spend most of my time in Wadi Rum, the desert that I love. It is very quiet and peaceful here. I love Wadi Rum because it is away from everything worldly and you can return to the beauty of nature. Even in the desert there is much to see, feel, and experience. My passion is cooking. In Wadi Rum, I can prepare all the local foods that I love and watch others enjoy it for the first time.
Wadi Rum is a Bedouin area made up of many different tribes and families that still follow the culture and heritage of their ancestry. Most people still have goats, sheep, and camels that are herded daily. Some families still live in tents. But the desert does not change. The sand in Wadi Rum is fine and red. The sandstone mountains are deceivingly huge. From far away they look average, but when you get closer you realize just how big they are. The formation of the desert is unique because the mountains are free standing individual entities that tower over the red sand. The ancient civilizations mapped out all the areas where there was water,springs, green areas where the herds could feed, and dangerous areas where predators prey on the flock. History was made in Wadi Rum with the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. The Bedouin tribes gathered together to defeat the Turkish rule over Trans-Jordan, with the help of the British. Lawrence of Arabia was one of the officers that Wadi Rum is famous for. Wadi Rum and the Bedouin that live here are beautiful, rich, and cultured. No where else in the world looks and feels like Wadi Rum.
