The Camp
An invitation to slow down
A handful of tents, woven from goat hair
Our camp is a small, family-run cluster of traditional Bedouin tents tucked into a quiet pocket of the protected area. No fences, no concrete — just the sand, the rock, and the slow rhythm of evening tea.
Each tent is hand-woven from goat hair in the Bedouin way, raised on wooden poles, and pegged into the sand. Inside, layered carpets cover the ground, the bedding is cosy with pillows, sheets, and thick blankets, and two small windows keep the air moving. Solo travellers get a private 2-person tent — no dormitory-style sharing, ever.
Outside the tents, the camp opens onto an outdoor lounge: thick cushions on patterned carpets, camel saddles for backrests, and a fire pit at the centre. Dinner is shared here under the stars. A communal Bedouin tent shelters tea, coffee, and quiet conversation. A modern marble bathroom — kept impeccably clean — is just a few steps away.

Designed for stillness — not for crowds. We host only a small number of guests each night so that the camp keeps its quiet.
Sleep under a sky written in starlight
Of all the ways to spend a night in Wadi Rum, sleeping outdoors is the one most guests remember years later. No walls between you and the desert — just a mattress on the sand, a thick blanket, and the slow turning of the stars above.
Four secluded outdoor spots wait under the open sky. Each is set against a rock face that holds the day's warmth into the night, with a screen of bushes for privacy. You arrive after dinner, when the Milky Way is already overhead. We carry your mattress out, set it up with you, and leave you to the silence.
The desert at night is cooler than the day — sometimes much cooler. We provide everything you need to stay warm: a thick mattress, a sleeping bag rated for cold nights, a liner, a blanket and a pillow. Most guests sleep more deeply than they have in months.
- Thick foam mattress with a clean linen sheet
- Sleeping bag rated for desert nights (down to 5°C)
- Cotton liner for comfort and hygiene
- Heavy wool blanket for the coldest hours
- Pillow with a fresh case
- A small torch and a bottle of water
- Warm jacket or fleece — nights drop to 5°C in winter
- Warm socks and a beanie if you sleep cold
- Toothbrush and small toiletries
- An open mind — the silence here is unlike anywhere else
Sleep deep, wake to a horizon that turns orange before the sun. The silence here is unlike anywhere else.
At the table
Bedouin food, simply made. Breakfast: bread, cheeses, vegetables, eggs, tea or coffee. Lunch: hot dishes such as Galayah Bandura. Dinner: traditional preparations like Zarb or Khabsah — meat, vegetables, and rice slow-cooked beneath the sand — served with homemade sides and dessert.
Around the fire
Guests gather in the communal tent for tea and conversation. Beyond the fire, an outdoor lounge of thick mattresses and camel saddles waits under the stars. Some nights bring traditional music — most bring only the sound of the desert.
