I had an amazing stay at this camp! I chose it by recommendation and because it's permitted and within the Wadi Rum Protected area (do your research! a lot of them aren't) The tent was very comfortable, well equipped for the best sleep I've had in a long time. The tour was breathtaking, the guide very informative. After tour, we were invited to a common area with a fire going, and drank the famous Bedouin sweet tea. Then the guide asked if we wanted to play UNO, we did and had a blast...even learning a few numbers in other languages which was great. The food was delicious and the bathrooms were modern and cleaner than a lot of hotels I've stayed in lol! I had some of the best times of my life here. I've been to other camps, trust me don't miss Rum Stars!

The tour started on time. We were taken to many magnificent places and really enjoyed the views in the desert. Our guide speaks good English but is not very talkative and did not offer much info about each site (but their email actually had already told you everything). Camp room was basic, they did not offer heater but blankets were warm enough. Bathroom and toilets were extremely clean and dinner/breakfast were really good. After dinner, either you can stay in the living room sitting around the campfire and talking with other travelers, or walk around the camp to feel the desert and the starry sky. It was cold at night so be sure to keep yourself warm enough to enjoy.

First the good, our pick up was timely and we were taken to all the sites. Accomodations were as advertised, the bathrooms were opulent. The Zarb was interesting and all the food delicious in camp. Box lunch basic, but enjoyed tea brewed over twig fire in desert. Noone appeared interested in speaking with us about anything. Achmed spoke to us pnly about money and arrangements. Our guide spoke some english but only answered questions in a few words. At night culture consisted of watching bedouin speak in arabic to each other. Our arranged taxi the next day had a surprise extra bedouin in backseat on way to Aqaba.. We were not asked and were expected to pay cost of full taxi ride. After vehemently complaining cost reduced. We were told it was only possible to be led on camel not ride as others have written about, so we declined to do this. I was saddened that based on other reviews my time was spent this way. That said wadi rum is an amazing place of beauty and solitude and I'm pleased I was able to see it.
