Why Choose Shahrazad Desert Camp
Shahrazad Desert Camp is one of the highest-rated camps in Wadi Rum, with an exceptional 9.8/10 guest score. This intimate, family-run camp offers just 6 tents, 4 panoramic tents and 2 bubble tents, nestled in the middle of a small canyon inside the Protected Area, about 2 kilometers from Wadi Rum Village. If you're looking for an authentic Bedouin experience away from the noise of larger tourist camps, Shahrazad is the perfect choice. Starting from just 20 JOD per person including dinner and breakfast, it's also one of the best value camps in the area.
Owner Nawaf and his Bedouin family are the heart and soul of this camp. Guests consistently describe the experience as "staying with friends, not at a hotel." Nawaf personally handles jeep tours through the desert, while his family prepares traditional Bedouin dinners cooked under the sand (zarb) using fresh ingredients from their own farm. Evenings are spent around the campfire drinking sage tea and watching the stars, with virtually no light pollution. The small size of the camp means personalized attention and a peaceful, secluded atmosphere that larger camps simply cannot match. All tents feature private bathrooms with hot water, air conditioning, and electricity for charging devices.
