Wadi Rum Bedouin Camp

因為戰爭的關係，沙漠裏所有的營地都生意很差，當天我們是唯一的客人。但酒店總體非常乾淨，基本的設施也很完整，晚上看星空更是無敵。

I got fooled by the 5 star rating. Never again. This is a $30/night hotel. We stayed in both the Bubble and deluxe triple tent. Cons (all pics attached) - miss cut pieces of overlapping carpet everywhere that someone cut (probably with school scissors) in both bubble and tent rooms by hand and plopped it in there (mgmt said: sometimes kids mess with the carpet?? And “we can’t buy carpet in one piece”) -within 15mins of checking in curtain fell apart when opened gently (mgmt: “when I brought you to your room it wasn’t like that”) -within 15mins of checking in bathroom bar fell when towel was placed atop (mgmt: we can fix that) -ants all over in the bathroom (mgmt: either you dropped something sweet or “we’re in a dessert”) after just checking in! -what looked like blood all over bathroom wall area was paint (mgmt: when they were painting, the door slammed closed from the wind and splattered paint everywhere???) -no hot water in BOTH tents (mgmt: “it’s working fine but let me go check”; nothing was fixed) -bubble tent had bad water damage along entirety of window and wreaked of mold. Bring a mold testing kit and test for it for your own safety. - they limit the rooms they make available on booking sites (e.g. 1 left!) to make it look like they are full. It was virtually empty. -Dirty towels (mgmt: it’s hard to get dessert stains out) when I asked for a towel the man grabbed towels from a back room that he tried to hide which was absolutely horrid with mixture of linens, mechanical work and chemicals etc. I shivered thinking what the kitchen looks like. -Price: Ridiculously high versus comparable tents -breakfast started almost 30 mins after start. But not bc of any issue, they were just non-chalant about it all. -they said to me I paid too much for the rooms because I used the booking website where they jack up all the prices. They said to call them next time. Haha Pros (just one but not really) -the main family owner is nice and appears to be trying but the other brother gets an attitude when you bring a complaint to him -View, but honestly having done the jeep tour most camps have a decent view. Tent view ironically better than bubble view since nothing blocking in front. -Didn’t do their Jeep tour. Just pick a good jeep tour like Wildwadirumtours and do it before you check in; it’s cheaper and is better, based on the reviews this camp got.

The Camp is amazing, the room so comfortable and luxurious, incredible water pressure, nice bed and pillows, the views from the room are outstanding, the breakfast amazing, the staff super nice. But above all, the 6 hours tour was unforgettable, Ali the guide highly recomendable, so close and patient answering all our questions (some of them quite personal), the 6 hours pass by in two seconds. We will never forget our experience in the Wadi Rum Desert, everything was perfect. Don't miss It.
