Why Choose Zarb Desert Camp
Zarb Desert Camp is a small, family-run Bedouin camp tucked away in one of the most remote and quiet corners of Wadi Rum, about 8 km from the Visitor Center. With only 9 rooms across three types, this is one of the most intimate desert camps you'll find: no crowds, no noise, just you and the desert. Guests consistently describe the location as "the middle of nowhere" in the best possible way: total silence, complete darkness at night, and breathtaking views in every direction. The camp is surrounded by rock mountains and is perfectly positioned for stargazing.
Owner Sabah Muhamad and his team are praised again and again for their warmth, flexibility, and personal attention. From arranging jeep tours and camel rides to cooking outstanding traditional zarb meals, Sabah treats every guest like family. The camp offers Bedouin rooms, panorama tents, and bubble tents, all with private bathrooms and hot water. All packages include dinner, breakfast, a 4-hour jeep tour, and free transfer from the parking area. For those looking for a genuine, off-the-beaten-path desert experience at an incredible price, Zarb Desert Camp is hard to beat.
