Wadi Rum Protected Area · Jordan
Twelve tents in a quiet corner of Wadi Rum. Dinner from the zarb, breakfast at sunrise, and nothing between you and the sky.
Tonight in Wadi Rum Sunset Moon
The camp
Shafaq is the red glow that stays in the sky after the sun has gone. We built the camp around that hour: the domes face west, the fire is lit at dusk, and dinner is lifted from the zarb, the Bedouin oven under the sand, as the first stars come out.
Stay
Rates are per tent, per night, with dinner and breakfast for everyone staying in it.
01Panoramic · for two
A glass-fronted dome turned toward the cliffs, so the sunset and then the stars are the view from your pillow. King bed, private bathroom with a hot rain shower, heating for winter and air-conditioning for July.
02Traditional · for two
Our take on the beit al-sha’ar, the black goat-hair tent of the Bedouin: woven walls, hand-made rugs, a proper bed and your own bathroom under the same roof. Closest to desert life, without giving up comfort.
03Two rooms · up to five
Two connected rooms and a shaded terrace for families who want space: a double bed for the parents, two singles for the children, and a sofa bed if there are five of you.
Experiences
Book them with your stay or decide at the fire. Prices are per person; children under 12 pay half.
Lift off in the half-dark and watch the sun light up Jabal Rum from above. About an hour in the air, back in time for breakfast.
September to May, weather permitting
A guided scramble up to one of the highest natural rock bridges in Wadi Rum, about 35 m above the ground. Jeep to the trailhead, lunch in the shade.
Good fitness, ages 12 and up
Lawrence’s Spring, the Khazali canyon inscriptions, the red dunes and the little bridge, finishing on a ridge for the sunset.
A slow walk across the sand as the cliffs turn red, led by Odeh and his camels. Tea is waiting at the top of the dune.
Lie back on rugs away from the camp lights. Our guide shows you the stars the Bedouin navigated by, then the telescope comes out for the planets and the Moon.

Wadi Rum is in Jordan’s far south: four hours from Amman, an hour from Aqaba. Leave your car at the visitor centre and our 4×4 takes you the last twenty minutes across the sand.
Our 4×4 meets you at the Wadi Rum visitor centre between 2 and 6 pm; later arrivals by arrangement. Entry to the protected area is JOD 5 per person, free with the Jordan Pass.
Guest notes
Sample reviews written for this demo
We set an alarm for the balloon, came back and slept another hour in the dome with the sun coming through the glass. Salem’s zarb was the best meal of our two weeks in Jordan.
If you want to see the stars properly, this is the place. Tea on the fire, a clear sky, and the kids didn’t ask for a phone once.
I travel alone a lot and felt completely at ease here. The camel ride at sunset was slow and quiet, exactly what I wanted.
They arranged everything from Aqaba airport and back. The food was halal and generous, and the domes were warm even in January.
Good to know
Closed shoes for sand and rock, sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen, and a warm layer for the evening, even in May. A small torch helps at night. Loose, modest clothing is comfortable in the desert and respectful in Rum Village.
Colder than most people expect. In summer, 35°C afternoons drop to around 18°C at night, and from December to February nights can fall close to 0°C. Every tent has heating and extra blankets, and the fire is lit every evening.
Yes. All our meat is halal and bought in Aqaba. Dinner is usually zarb, chicken and lamb slow-cooked under the sand, with salads, rice and taboon bread. Vegetarian meals are always available; tell us about allergies when you book. We don’t serve alcohol.
In the main tent, yes: enough for messages and photos, not for video calls. Mobile signal (Zain and Orange) works in most of the camp. Most guests are happy to switch off for a night.
March to May and September to November: warm days and cool, clear nights. Summer days are hot, but the Milky Way is at its brightest from May to August. Winter is crisp and quiet, with cold nights and the clearest air.
Nothing is paid online. We confirm your booking on WhatsApp, and you pay at the camp in cash (JOD), by Visa or Mastercard, or in advance by CliQ transfer.
Check-in from 2 pm, check-out by 11 am. Our 4×4 meets you at the Wadi Rum visitor centre between 2 and 6 pm; later arrivals by arrangement.
