Guest Tips & Highlights
-I am not actually sure we stayed at this specific camp because due to low seasons the bedouins were rationalizing camps use and gathering people into ones. That being said it certainly was as good , if not better than the intended one. I was lucky enough to be almost alone the first night and this made the whole experience ultra pleasant. I had time to discuss with the local guys working at the camp and have genuine conversations with them. As the camp was empty they also upgraded me to one of the bubble room which was very kind of them. The following day we took one their 3-4h jeep tour in the desert. Mohammed was super chill and drove very carefully. He is young “kid” who was very attentive and had excellent english. I wish the tour had gone a little bit deeper into the desert as we basically only went 2-3km from the base camp which itself is only 500M from the road. But i am sure this could have been done had i requested it. The camp had 2 residents cats which was a massive plus for me ❤️. One of them is extremely cuddly and we spent the whole morning together. There is no wifi in the rooms but the one near the dining area works perfectly fine and i personally didnt need it as i spent time reading or stargazing.
We have a fantastic stay in the camp. The staff is really kind and helpful. Mohammed the owner is a very kind guy and a great tourist guide as well. The camp has a nice location and really quiet. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The bed was hard but I liked it. I can just recommend for everyone.

Understanding in Wadi Rum Prices
Hotel and accommodation prices in Disah (Jordan) follow typical seasonal patterns for small rural/tourist sites in Jordan. Peak demand around national holidays, spring wildflower season, and summer school holidays pushes prices up. Budget options (guesthouses, homestays) are often cheaper year-round but book up during peak times. Expect mid-range hotels and ecolodges to raise rates during popular periods. If visiting during Ramadan or major religious holidays, some prices (for private tours, guides) may increase due to local demand or reduced availability.

Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Transportation
Most visitors arrive via Amman (Queen Alia International Airport) or regional airports and continue by rental car or private transfer. For remote valleys, a high-clearance vehicle or 4x4 may be necessary.
Transportation Tips
- 1.Rent a car in Amman for maximum flexibility; choose a high-clearance or 4x4 if you plan on driving unpaved valley tracks.
- 2.Arrange transfers with your accommodation if you prefer not to drive — local drivers know access routes and seasonal conditions.
- 3.Fuel stations can be sparse in rural areas; top up in larger towns before heading to remote sites.
- 4.Carry a physical map or offline GPS — mobile coverage can be intermittent in valleys and remote areas.
Pro Traveler Tip
Hire a local guide for deeper cultural insights and safer access to lesser-known trails. Guides can arrange local hospitality experiences (Bedouin tea, camp dinners) and navigate seasonal road conditions more reliably.
