a bit about wadi rum
Wadi Rum is the place for nature lovers and those with a sense of adventure. The less adventurous will also marvel at the stunning landscape. It is situated in the south of Jordan,
at the Western edge of the Arabian desert and the protected area itself makes up about 74,200 hectares. Beautiful sandy valleys, towering rock structures and vibrant orange-red hues mesmerise the senses.
Thinking Wadi Rum looks a little familiar? Only a few of the many films, but If you have seen Lawrence of Arabia, Dune, the Martian, All the Money in the World, Theeb, or Red Planet, you will have seen some Wadi Rum scenery.
The Bedouin have inhabited the Wadi Rum region for thousands of years, their lifestyle adapted for the desert environment. In times gone by before the arrival of popular tourism in the 1980’s, the majority of families lived in the desert herding livestock. Now it is a different story.
Come and see this beautiful area for yourself and leave with great memories!

Amazing stay in one of the most special places on this planet! - The whole stay at Wanderlust camp and wadi rum was an amazing experience: possibly the best one on our Jordan trip!
Communication prior to the stay was constant... read more and super helpful. The camp is set in a quiet space away from everything and the views are just out of this world.
The tents are beautiful and comfortable:) we were very pleased!
The food was just incredible and some of the best we had in Jordan.
The jeep tour we did was fabulous too! Our driver/guide went out of his way to take us to great spots, give us free time to ram around, took pictures of us, etc. All that with a big smile on:)
Obviously there's no wifi in the desert so we were able to properly disconnect, which was awesome. We loved the chill vibes, definitely not an entertainment camp: if it's a recharging and restful experience you are after, make sure you go there!! The Wadi rum desert is one of these unique experiences you will encounter: make sure you book this camp to enjoy it fully!

Best desert experience ever! - Aied was such a great host, during and before our stay. He was happy to help with questions and advice before we arrived, and was wonderful during! The camp is... read more in the most beautiful location, and the food was incredible. We spent our evenings having tea by the fire and stargazing, he even took us out in his jeep during the night for a fun ride. The day tour was amazing, and we really enjoyed the camel ride. The whole time was magical and was a great price, so glad we came across his camp and I hope one day we can return! Definitely book this trip, you won’t regret!!
