Guest Reviews
Guest Tips & Highlights
I absolutely loved this place. The views were stunning. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, and the whole camp was beautiful and very clean. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout my stay. I also really enjoyed the food, the pool, and the jacuzzi β everything made the experience even more special and unforgettable.
First, the scenery was amazing and serene. The hotel itself was beautiful and partially secluded and the staff was more than helpful. Mr Ali and the rest of the staff were friendly, welcoming and accommodating and we felt very safe and taken care of as solo female travelers, would definitely recommend the place

Weather Tips
Wadi Musa has a desert climate with wide diurnal temperature swings β hot afternoons and much cooler nights. Bring layers for mornings/evenings, high-SPF sun protection, a hat, sunglasses, and a reusable water bottle. In winter and early spring expect occasional rain; bring a lightweight rain layer and shoes with good traction for wet, rocky trails. If visiting in summer, plan strenuous outdoor activity for early morning or late afternoon to avoid heat exposure.
Understanding in Wadi Musa Prices
Wadi Musa is the gateway town to Petra, so local hotel and tour prices closely track Petra visitor levels. High demand in peak seasons (especially Spring and Fall) pushes prices up β boutique cave hotels and higher-end properties can command a premium. Budget guesthouses and hostels fill quickly and their rates rise during school holidays and international long weekends. Prices dip in the hot summer months and in the coldest part of winter (outside major holidays), when fewer international tourists visit. Special events (e.g., Petra-focused cultural festivals, Petra by Night performances, or regional holidays such as Ramadan and Jordanian national holidays) can temporarily raise rates. Tour prices for guided Petra visits, transport from Amman/Aqaba, and private transfers also increase during peak times and around events. Advance booking (especially for mid- to high-range hotels and guided tours) is recommended for busy seasons; last-minute deals are more likely in low season but come with reduced availability of preferred properties.
