Salem camp
Salem Camp is a cozy, family run beduin camp in the middle of the desert. To make your desert experience perfect, we offer desert tours with jeep and camel at guest´s option.
I am a bedouin of the Zalabia-tribe. I have been raised in the desert of Wadi Rum and love to show tourists from all over the world the beauty of the desert of Wadi Rum.
Salem Camp is situated in the remote part of the Wadi Rum Protected Area far away from the busy tourist places. Our Camp is famous for its fantastic unspoiled view onto the desert and specially for the impressive sunsets.
