Special thanks to Salman and Awwad for an unforgettable experience. We were warmly welcomed which made our stay at wadi rum even more special. Shout out to all the Indian staff working there, thank you for sharing your spicy food with us. Awwad made the jeep tour really fun and exciting. A jovial young chap.

Salmon and all the staff at Beyond were incredibly friendly. The food was fantastic throughout our trip and the tours were easy to arrange. Our tent was very comfortable for the three nights we were there. I would strongly recommend the Jabal Umm ad Dami hike, it was a highlight of our time in Jordan.

This was our first time visiting Wadi Rum and we couldn't be happier with our decision to stay at the Beyond Wadi Camp. The entire experience was overall great. Salman and his team are incredibly hospitable and welcoming. From the moment we arrived at the Wadi Rum village, directions and next steps were communicated to ensure we were able to arrive to camp. If you are staying overnight, we recommend opting for the buffet dinner that they offer. The food quality and the presentation was good. If you're staying multiple nights like we did, do not expect different food options over the course of multiple nights (which is expected when you're catering to a property in the middle of the desert). The Jeep Tour that they offer is a must do. We ended up doing the full day tour (10am - 7pm) and felt like we got . a terrific desert exploration experience. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and catering to our needs. Highlights included our lunch ( nap) on the side of a mountain and the sunset viewing *with tea). The only negative aspect of our stay was the lack of AC in the rooms (which we somewhat expected). All in all, we highly recommend staying at the Beyond Wadi Rum camp. Thank you Salman and team!

Stayed here for one night while visiting Wadi Rum. The owner is friendly. The scenery in Wadi Rum and the location of this camp is truely incredible. The tent was clean and comfortable. Personally found the dinner and breakfast underwhelming. Dining area sofas and chairs need a good cleaning. Camp was somewhat noisy during the day with a generator operating at the neighboring (under construction) camp.

Good stay
We had a nice stay at Beyond Wadi Rum Camp, and met some really lovely people (the experience is what you make it). Positives: dinner was really nice, guests and staff were super friendly, gas heating in tents was excellent (and necessary in winter!), camp located near little bridge and other walkable sites. Negatives: bedding appeared to be not clean (and blanket smelled), experiences (4WD, hiking etc) were very expensive, food was sometimes great and sometimes not so great, hot water was a lottery (appeared to work more in the female bathroom and not so much in the male bathroom, and I did not get a hot shower during our two night stay).

Beyond camp went way beyond our expectations! Friendly staff, warm tent even in the middle of winter, amazing surroundings. The jeep tour was great and we also did a short camel ride after checking with Born Free that it was ok (it is 😊). Lots of extras included that we didn't expect like Bedhouinusic and dancing, a starwalk, a fire and the food was amazing - plenty of choice (even for a vegetarian) and lots of it! Would highly recommend 😃😃

Rip off Tours & Commercial
Best search elsewhere. I paid 40 JOD (£40) for a 2 hour tour in a jeep and it was less than an hour with the remainder time sitting drinking some tea. I noted this to the owner - Salman however he brushed it off and did nothing. The place seems to be just churning out people so no personal touch and things are done for the sake of it - very commercial. I stayed in a camp in Little Petra and was far more intimate and true to a real experience.

If you want a quiet, restful and unique experience stay at Madi Rum. We looked over a few sites, went camel back riding and then finished up at camp. You have an opportunity to talk to other travelers or sit in the desert and enjoy the slow pace and beautiful scenery. Our tent was heated and we were very comfortable. The traditional dinner was so yummy.. it sent us back to the basics and we all loved it.

My girlfriend and I stayed just one night, but we enjoyed it. The meal, while pricey, was quite tasty and there was more than enough food. The beds were clean and so were the bathroom facilities. The owners spoke pretty good English and were very accommodating. My only complaint was the instant coffee that was served for breakfast.

Dinner was lovely but the staff looked tortured during the “cultural music and dancing.” Would rather have just had background music throughout dinner rather than awkward silence followed by forced fun. The bedding was super clean and beds very comfortable. Breakfast was yummy (mainly the foul) but cold and no one bothered to warm the tent in the morning, so we were cold. It seemed like they were just ready to get rid of us. Prices for excursions were not given before and we felt tricked and up charged by the Jeep tour which was basically just a drive to camp (which had to be done anyway) with stops. I would recommend staying in a place that is all inclusive of meals and excursions to avoid surprise expenses.

The camp was absolutely beautiful and had some rock formations nearby to climb and watch the sunrise. We arrived later in the afternoon and didn’t have time to do a Jeep tour that night. The owner arranged for us to watch the sunset, go to camp and do a tour the following day. He was super helpful! The rooms were surprisingly warm, and the food was good. The toilets/showers are not available in each room, but have a separate block just 1 minute away from your tent

well built camp, kept clean
looks like all offers in wadi rum are awesome, but after taking a full day jeep tour and seeing other tents from afar, we concluded that ours were more solidly built, with tile floors and a proper building for toilets and showers. The extra costs for transport are something that need to be factored in, as well as the fact that for full tours, they will sometimes try to combine groups. We were asked very politely and declined to merge with another group. It was unseasonably cold and windy on our two night stay, and the heater kept us relatively warm, and the communal room had a nice fire and self service tea. this camp is right next to the small rock bridge, perfect for sunrise and sunset. Our tent room was impeccably clean when we arrive; winds didn't keep it that way but it was shocking how even in the desert, cleaning staff managed to get crisp white bedlinen and a shiny clean floor.

Basic but not traditional
I’m struggling to write my review as it’s such a difficult place to review. We went fully expecting to stay in a traditional Bedouin camp so I wasn’t expecting perfection, I knew it’d be basic but it was certain elements which marred my view. Eg- it was extremely remote and freezing cold and toilet facilities were basic, I was ok with this but the square tents all lined up like eurocamp didn’t feel very rustic. The lunch served was awful, nothing traditional all sealed packs of bulk buy cakes, juice and hummus but the dinner was amazing vegetables and chicken all cooked under ground in the traditional way. The traditional entertainment was good but then blaring Britney Spears out at 11pm wasn’t my ideal. You are totally reliant on them to transport you back to the village. We were told to be ready between 8-8.30 for our lift and they just left there with our bags. We asked several times but the guy didn’t speak English so we didn’t get offsite until 10am. Wouldn’t stay again.

Our clean tent had a double bed and 2 single beds. We stayed at Beyond WR in February and it gets very cold at night. Each tent has an electrical outlet, llightbulb, wifi (spotty) and a propane heater. When the heat was on, it was very warm. Unfortunately we were told we couldnt keep it on throughout the night. However, it was still useful to turn it on intermittently to remove the chill when awakened due to cold. The communal bathroom had showers and toilets but only cold water during our 1 night visit. Considering we were in the middle of the desert, I was blown away that we had all the modern essentials for a comfortable glamping experience.
