Mahdi Alblwi - Candles Camp Wadi Rum
Candles Camp is located in the heart of Wadi Rum, approximately 13 km away from Wadi Rum village, close to the White desert. The moment you leave your car behind at our home base in the village, we are there for you to provide the best desert getaway of your lifetime! Jump on one of our jeeps and your private driver will take you to the most beautiful spots in the desert. Drink some tea with us and ride a camel to your next activity! Finish the day with a sunset bedouin tea made by your guide on top of an orange sand dune and arrive at our camp where we come together each night for a traditional bedouin dinner prepared by our chefs. Candles Camp stands alone in the desert, far away from other camps, sheltered by a rocky hill. Enjoy the silent, scenic desert with dunes and mountain views in the distance. After a day full of adventures and an exciting cultural exchange, retreat to your chosen accommodation, or if you wish to sleep under a sky full of stars, you are more than welcome to do so!
Hello, I am Mahdi, the manager of Candles Camp in the Wadi Rum desert. Our camp is a family business that has been passed down for generations. We have a team of professional English-speaking tour guides ready to take you on 4x4 desert adventures, camel rides, sandboarding, bedouin tea experiences, and many more! We are delighted to host accommodation in the desert each day for many nationalities from around the world, and teach you about the ways of the bedouin people of the Wadi Rum desert while learning about your cultures at the same time!
Wadi Rum is the largest wadi in Jordan and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful deserts in the entire world. This iconic region gave home to many film productions including Star Wars, The Martian. Lawrence of Arabia and more! Wadi Rum village is situated deep in the desert after the visitor center, but worry you shall not, you can find restaurants and grocery stores all around, and of course, many opportunities to drink coffee and tea. We will not let you get dehydrated for sure! Our home base is located in the village, where we provide free parking for you.
