Wadi Rum Night Luxury Camp

· Location is perfect for a relaxed night with amazing stars veiw and away from the road lights surrounded by mountains. The best location for me in Wadi Rum Disliked · I visited this camp many times and noticed the quality of the place degraded a lot, the food quality became also poor

The facilities at the camp were very good, especially considering its location. The staff were pleasant and helpful (although my lack of Arabic was evident). The food options were limited to the buffet dinner and breakfast, but both had adequate options and the food was good. A few things worth bearing in mind - (i) While the site had WiFi, it was only available at the reception (cell signal is not available anywhere); (ii) the camp does not serve alcohol, but they allow guests to carry their own.

Staying here included a drive through the desert & a couple of stops to see some great sites. This was a lot of fun & the best part of this day. The camp is in a beautiful location; very private & peaceful. The people working there are extremely nice & helpful. The food was buffet & very good. The "tent" was a bit of a let-down, as the everything in it is very old & worn looking, with curtains containing small tears & not too clean looking. The bed was like sleeping on a trampoline. When someone moved, the other bounced. At night there is a large sitting area under the stars, where there was a small fire burning & they feed you tea. There are coloured lights shining on the mountain. That's about it. Nothing else.

Be warned - the promotional Camp pictures posted by the vendor are out of date and don’t accurately represent what the Camp looks like. The Camp is infested with cats, there’s rubbish and animal faeces everywhere. The pathway lights don’t work, making it difficult to walk at night. The kitchen is simply a heath hazard (see pictures). The tents are old, smell of burnt rubber and have not been maintained; the Camp generally is extremely run down and need serious investment. It doesn’t live up to the “luxury” label. Management need to invest a lot of money into the Camp before it should accept anymore guests. Positives: the skeleton staff were lovely, and the view amazing.

This so called Luxury Camp has seen no upkeep or maintenance over many years. It’s essentially falling apart. The kitchen is disgusting, so much so that 5 or the 8 people in our group were very ill. We were in an Intrepid trip and we took photos and reported back to them. They’ve now dropped it from their program.

Rooms were surprisingly large and functional with air conditioning comfort. Shower which is in an enclosed cylinder shape was however very small and cramped. Very nicely furnished with adequate luggage storage space, indoor lounge viewing and also outdoor chairs on small deck. Bed was on the soft side but comfortable. We did have wi fi in our room which was reasonably close to reception. Torch needed at night to go to seating/fire area which is away from the main dining room and a good place to relax with a cup of tea. Buffet meal was ok with water provided and with help of our tour guide staff arranged a birthday cake celebration for one of the group.

For Wadi Rum, the camp is excellent. We booked a triple room, and it was spacious and clean with good functioning AC. The bathroom was quite big and the shower worked well. The staff was very polite, flexible and organized. The dinner was good - perhaps could have been better - but the rest of the experience made up for it. Highlight of our stay was the starlit sky that we enjoyed from the Bedouin seating area with a fireplace and fresh tea. We hope to visit again in the future.

Worst experience I have ever had normally I don't care to write reviews specially bad one but this time I do insist to make sure I do deliver my bad experience to anyone trying to book with this camp unfortunately 0 satisfaction over all
