Wadi rum view camp

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at Wadi Rum View Camp and cannot recommend it too highly if you wish to enjoy a true Bedouin experience in the beautiful Wadi Rum. The host, Atayek, was in contact beforehand via WhatsApp to find out any dietary requirements (we're both vegetarians, and were more than adequately catered for) and what activities we were interested in doing during our visit. He offers a whole range of possibilities, including sandboarding, camel rides, jeep tours, bush camping and sunset/star gazing. We chose to go on a full day jeep tour of Wadi Rum to look for birds and other wildlife and were not disappointed. Atayek was hugely enthusiastic and patient, stopping for each and every bird we encountered and imparted some of his extensive knowledge of the area. Both evenings we stayed at his tented camp where the main meeting/eating room has a central wood fire and is built against a rock face deep in the desert – well away from other camps and thus quiet. Atayek has equipped the camp with solar power for lights and phone charging and hot water generation for the showers with a number of comfortable, snug huts for sleeping.

Travellers should be aware that the location for the accommodation pin on Booking.com is actually Atayek's house, the meeting point in Wadi Rum village, and not where the tented camp is. Atayek transfers you by jeep from Wadi Rum village (where you can safely leave your hire car during your stay) to the camp.

Everything. The owner(s)- there are 3 brothers who will do everything for you to feel good. From food to trip with jeep ( fair price ). Shukram my brother(s)!

Nothing

We started with lunch in the Rum village, then took a long jeep tour with many stops across the desert. When some place was crowded, Atiq took us elsewhere, where we were alone. After the sunset, we went to the camp, got a huge and tasty dinner, and rested with argileh (shisha) near the campfire. Then we went to the "cave" (more like an overhang, where you can make fire and sleep), did more argileh, fire, and Bedouin music. And finally, we went back to the camp, took our beds outside, so we could sleep under the stars. Breakfast and shower in the morning, and back to the Rum village.

Superb 10/10

I liked everything about it. The people are really friendly and the experience was really great.
