    Our stay at Ammarin Bedouin Camp was fabulous! The location is beautiful and private. We loved the experience of staying in a Bedouin camp. We sat in the main Bedouin tent decorated in the traditional rugs and pillows and enjoyed tea by the fire. Afterwards they served us a fabulous dinner. The night was full of stars and eerie noises of the desert. We loved it! Breakfast is also included. If you plan to come, you can arrange with the host to be picked up in a 4x4 truck by the entrance to Petra and be driven right to the camp for a small fee (we paid 10 JD for the ride). They can also take you back in the morning. I would highly recommend this place for those who desire the experience of staying in a Bedouin camp. Our hosts were so friendly and attentive. We are thrilled to have stayed here. Side note: If you come in the winter months, bring a jacket. The desert is surprisingly cold at that time. Enjoy!

    We had the camp to ourselves with my 12yo son. We enjoyed it a lot. The fun started right upon arrival when our car got stuck in the sand. The owner helped us out of the tricky situation and then provided us with tea, food and all the comforts. Behind the camp, we discovered a sand dune where we had a blast, and the dinner was simply fabulous. Perhaps the best during our entire stay in Jordan. Thank you very much!

    The shared shower/toilet block needs updating and maybe extending. The water pressure was also a little variable.

    The camp is tucked away behind some hills near Little Petra. You stay in Bedouin style huts with a big communal Bedouin tent for meals. The staff were incredibly welcoming especially Marcella and her Egyptian assistant who are both fantastic. They helped arrange a guided hike to the Monastery from Little Petra and were always keen to help. The communal tent was cosy and authentic and a good place to meet others. As was the fire pit outside.

    All good:)

    What a place. The camp is in a beautiful, peaceful, cool, natural rock hollow. Marcella, Eid and the team are really helpful and friendly. At night if you walk a little distance from the camp fire you get a real sky full of stars. Overall a great stay. Also walking distance to little petra which is worth a visit - the the coffee shop at the top of the stairs in little petra is great.

    Exceptional community based project for the Ammerin tribe

    I absolutely love everything about this property. Please support the project and please don't be like other tourist I saw and help pick up your dishes and collaborate in the project as a respectable human being. I love Ammerin community and its people. Most welcoming and loving people I've ever met.

    This is a real community based Bedouin Camp, which means it is not only a “place to stay” but a community project which defends and guarantees the rights of the Ammarin tribe to this land. For any conscious traveller out there, I want to say that this is the kind of projects we should all be supporting if we want to see the region strive and prosper in a sustainable and healthy way. Avoid going to the fake, “luxury” hotels in Wadi Mussa and instead give yourself a chance to support something that is worth more than anything else in the world: the preservation of this beautifully land and the culture of the people that have the right to inhabit it.

    The tent is not soundproof, and when we wanted to sleep, we were disturbed by the sounds coming from outside.

    The camp is located very close to Little Petra and among the hills. It was enjoyable to watch the hills and stars at night. The staff were very polite and helpful, they made us tea by the fire. Normally they make tea with sugar, but when we said we wanted it without sugar, they made it again for us. Moreover, they remembered this and made tea for us for breakfast. We had a traditional meal for dinner. It was an amazing experience for us.

    Toilets are basic and they are shared, but they were clean and had soap and hot water. The rooms were very very hot during the day , perhaps a fan would have helped.

    Great experience in the camp, staff very friendly. They got us special vegetarian options to suit our group, food was good, very traditional. They tried to accomodate the meal times to work for us, very hot rooms during the day. Great views day and night

    Hot water in the evening (its run on solar so sometimes hot water is not enough after a certain time of day).

    The food is great and you can have as much as you want. The tribe/staff are really nice and very accommodating. The location is great, right next to Little Petra. Its the second time I've been and I really recommend it you are looking for a genuine Bedouin camp experience.

    This place is unique - amaizing location with extraordinary views! Tents are small, but comfortable, shared bathrooms are clean.Marcella is the most professional and kind manager, always smiling and giving all tips you need. Food is delicieus.Personnel is hospitable and kind, serving tea whenever it seems to be needed:) Thank you!
