Le dévouement de l’hôte qui nous a fait découvrir le désert à prix raisonnable

Confort sommaire qui s’explique par la situation dans le désert

It was amazing

Awesome... perfect

It's a lovely guesthouse in the Wadi Rum dessert surrounded by sand and rocks and no other camps really close by. The owner picks you up from the visitor centre (it's about a 20 minutes drive) and he is also the one that drove and guided us on our day tour through the dessert. The tour was really nice and we got to see all the amazing sights and an amazing sun set to finish off the day. You are sort of in the middle of nowhere, so you eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner at the guesthouse. Breakfast and dinner were good, lunch a little on the light side. The star of the place however is Nasar who is very friendly, speaks English, is always there to help, and makes the place feel really cozy. The accomodation itself is a good size (both room and bathroom) and has a large window to see the dessert at all times. The bed was also comfortable.

Electricity was turned on at around 7pm and turned off around 10:30 pm so that's the time to charge phones etc and take a shower. Unfortunately our shower didn't really get warm enough, so we didn't take a shower for two nights. My friend was really cold in the room (there's no heating), but we requested an extra blanket so he was fine whilst in bed. Just make sure to wear enough clothing when going there in the colder winter months. The owner also brought us to see his goats and two dogs. We didn't like seeing the dogs cause the older dog looked really afraid and would cower when the owner got too close and the puppy dog was tied to a leash that was too tight around its neck. He must have had only about 10 meters of walking range. We know that animals aren't always regarded as pets, but it broke our hearts seeing them like that. At least the owner brought them leftover food so they were fed. The thing we regret is that we didn't inquire about prices of everything (we felt uncomfortable talking about prices too much in case it was considered disrespectful). We agreed on a price of the tour and assumed it included lunch, but this was not the case (although we saw similar tours online that offered the same itinerary for the same price that included lunch). We also got charged more for the room than what was advertised on Booking.com. When we left the owner strongly suggested we give Nasar a tip, which we did cause he really deserved it, but we didn't like the fact that we were told to do that.

Hear me out: book this for your best desert experience !!! Mr. Slamah exceeded all our expectations and he went above and beyond making sure that we've got all we needed at all times. I traveled together with 2 friends and we booked one room all 3 of us. When we arrived at the camp, given the fact that there were other free tents, Mr. Slamah offered us a second tent free of charge!!! He was very attentive and he made us feel like home the entire time and the best part is that he is an honest man and you can easily make friends with him as he is very easy going. I promise the rooms look better than the pictures presented here on booking and the whole camp is located deep in the desert and it is well maintained and looking good. The cleanliness is flawless! The food is all fresh and tasty! We fell in love with the hospitality of Mr. Slamah and with the camp and we will for sure return. Bonus: free tea, water, coffee, soda and if you love karaoke or dancing you can do that in the common room 😊

My parents and me reserved two nights in this camp, we were really happy of our stay in this camp and expériences in the desert, and the quality of the service and friendly hospitality of the owner Salamah and Nasser. Good and fast communication and organization before arriving (we arrived at night from the airport), he manage to find taxi when we needed, adaptation of our rythm and need with professionalism and good emotional intelligence. They explain us their life and culture with complicity, spending nice moment discussing and dancing near the fire. Thé bedouin owner and guide know thé désert like his pocket, he offer wonderfull trip in the desert at really good price during two days and a big part far away of other tourists in a good jeep. Inforgettable. And good mood always, making us laughing. Room with bathroom (so confortable), windows with beautiful view. Camp in the silence in the middle of nowhere, wonderfull. Thanks for your kind welcoming hospitality, we built beautiful family mémories. Wish you both the best

None

The host is very friendly and generous. They have food prepared for breakfast and dinner. They also offer all kinds of tours through Wadi Rum, so it's very convenient to book directly from the host instead of others. The host will wait for you at the Visitor's Center car park and will rake you and your luggage to the camp The tents are little houses, and mine had a bathroom. The facilities are basic, but useful. Please note that the location shown on Booking.com is incorrect. The camp is situated about 30 minutes away, in the Wadi Rum desert. Amazing surroundings and isolated from everything else. So there is no signal, no wifi, no hot water. A truly unique experience.

Qais Camp was in our opinion, amazing value for money. It was in an amazing location, far into the desert and away from others camps (unlike some others which are neighbouring). The rooms were beautiful, traditional and befitting the culture, set up perfectly for for a couple or more. Ensuite and beautiful bedroom window looking out into the desert with undisrupted view. There was no cellphone reception at the camp or in the desert which was a bonus for us, nice to relax off grid for a night and day. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to all the main sights within the desert and took lots of great photos for us. there is the option for a sunset, sunrise or day tours (you can combine all/any). We also had traditional music playing throughout dinner and dancing afterwards Traditional Jordanian Dinner and breakfast are provided and were amazing, so much food! Traditional tea, coffee and bottled water provided too! I would recommend this accomodation to everyone visiting Wadi Rum who is looking for a traditional, caring & exciting experience.

Only downside is no hot water for a shower, just cold. but that is to be expected when staying out in the desert so wasn’t an issue for us, just to note for other guests.
