Villa Location:

Wadi Rum
Distance between the Aqaba King Hussein Intl (AQJ) and the accommodation – 71 km (1 hr by car)

A breathtaking desert retreat nestled in the heart of Wadi Rum, this unique getaway offers an unforgettable stay beneath Jordan’s endless starlit sky. The camp features a collection of comfortable Bedouin-style tents and panoramic bubble domes, blending traditional hospitality with modern comforts. Each accommodation provides a cozy sanctuary, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the silence and majesty of the desert.

The open-air dining area serves delicious, locally-inspired meals, while the surrounding dunes offer the perfect setting for sunset tea rituals and fireside storytelling. Mornings begin with meditative sunrise walks across the red sands, and evenings invite you to relax under the Milky Way, experiencing the profound peace of the desert.

For those seeking adventure, Wadi Rum’s vast landscapes provide endless opportunities—camel rides, jeep safaris, and sandboarding allow you to explore the stunning rock formations and hidden canyons. If you prefer a slower pace, unwind with stargazing, journaling, or simply soaking in the silence of the desert.

Join us for an unforgettable retreat where ancient landscapes, Bedouin hospitality, and the vastness of the cosmos come together to create a space for reflection, renewal, and inspiration.
