- Family-run business with great hosts and great communication via WhatsApp - They picked us up from the Visitors center and helped with all the paperwork that was required to enter Wadi Rum - Food was amazing (breakfast, light lunch, bbq dinner) - Great room, clean with outstanding desert views - We did the 6 hour jeep tour and 1 hour camel ride. Our guide was Mohammad, one of Obeid's sons. We had such a great time with him all day!

We had a great stay, nothing negative to add

The room, the food, the hosts, all very good and recommendable. We had a great time and the place is very welcoming and so are the people there. I cannot understand some of the comments mentioning surprises when it comes to paying the activities or the dinner: Obeid sent us before the list of all activities and their prices and it was all as explained and promised, so very professional. If you want a very local experience with extremely friendly hosts, this is your place. Apart from that the food was amazing and more than you can eat. Perfect stay! Thank you very much!

There is no better way to spend time in wadi rum than in obeid's camp. We spent 4 days in the desert. Obdei's son Mohammed took great care of us. There was a very good meal every evening, plenty of tea, a fire in the communal tent and pleasant get-togethers. The room was great. With its own bathroom and panoramic windows, it exceeded our expectations. We recommend everyone interested in Wadi Rum to visit Obeids camp.

This year, we managed to find cheap flight tickets at the beginning of the year, so now four of us returned to Jordan, taking two children with us. Visiting Wadi Rum is an unmissable part of the program. Based on the experience of previous years, we booked accommodation in the Obeid's camp. The afternoon jeep tour was enjoyable: we drove approx. for two hours, Mohammed showed us several interesting sights, he also stopped with us at a places where we asked, the children were able to climb several sand dunes. We could also enjoy the sunset from a point with a great view, although the weather was quite cool at that time. When we got back to the camp, we had a very delicious barbecue dinner, the tasty food and hot tea were good in the cool evening. We sat by the fire in the community tent for a long time, the children also had fun with Mohammed. We booked a four-bed room with a bathroom. The room was comfortable and the warm shower was nice after the long day. Although the night was cold, we did not fell cold under the blankets. In the morning, we started the day by the campfire again, the hot tea and breakfast were good again. Another jeep tour followed, then around noon we were taken back to the visitor center, from where we joined the other tourists and traveled back to Aqaba. Our small group had a great time, we were very satisfied with the program, accomodation and food.

Obeid and his sons are fantastic! The camp had a main dining/gathering room, a cave room (with 4 poster bed) and comfortable tent rooms with en suite bathrooms. We would recommend their camp to anyone staying in Wadi Rum. They were perfect hosts - arranging great experiences (jeep safari, camel ride), serving an amazing dinner (Zarb) & helping us navigate the border in Eilat, and hire a van to drive us to Wadi Rum, Petra and the border. They were so wonderful and we had a great experience in Jordan thanks to them!

Everything was perfect.

My stay at Obeid's Bedouin Camp was the highlight of my trip to Jordan. The camp is situated in a beautiful part of the Wadi Rum reserve, and the hospitality of the family and staff is spontaneous. Obeid's direct communication with me started before I left for my trip, and he and his family were always accommodating. They  made me feel right at home when I arrived at the camp, having picked me up from my hotel in Aqaba. The kettle was always on, and the zarb dinner, prepared in the traditional manner, was so good. The four hour jeep trip through this awesome desert was incredible with the driver and guide Salem, one of Obid's sons, sharing his knowledge of the desert and of the Bedouin way of life and culture He brought fun to the experience with his love of music, which was infectious, with the radio playing what I called Jordanian rock and roll as we drove through the desert. The room was beautifully furnished, spacious, warm, and comfortable with good wifi. I highly recommend this camp for the generous family who run it and for the welcoming, relaxed, and authentic Bedouin experience they provide.

the camp is in the middle of the Wadi Rum desert. The experience was above amazing. we stayed for one night, did the traditional dinner and jeep tour. Everything was excellent.

Stayed in December 2022

Higher prices for Jeep tour and Wadi Rum. Make arrangements about tours in advance.

The Bedouin camp is perfectly equipped in a traditional style. Breakfast and dinner delicious. Obeid and his sons are great.

The food was amazing! The staff were even more amazing! They did everything they could to make it fun and enjoyable for our family when we went on our desert safari. My son (11 years old) said this was the highlight in our year long world trip.

obeid and his family took such good care of us. the camp is stunning and you can tell so much thought has gone into everything. the food was excellent land I would recommend it to you.

While the four hour jeep tour was really nice, the two hour trip was a let down in terms of where you are taken and what there is to see. Additionally, there was a DJ playing extremely loud music at a camp nearby on Friday night...it must have been a huge party...not conducive to feelings of solitude and getting away from everything that you might expect going to the desert. Perhaps not the fault of this camp, but it would be a reason to avoid the area in the future...

Very friendly family run camp... Mohammad was very nice in particular.

Stayed in May 2022

We had a really nice time at Obeid's camp, it is at a really good location, the view for the desert is super nice from the place. We even got a room upgrade because a tent with private bathroom was available. Obeid's son picked us up from the visitor center, he cooked us really tasty meals and gave us a jeep tour of Wadi Rum. They also helped us catching the bus to Petra. There was also wifi in the camp - I totally didn't expect that

Stayed in May 2022

We stayed at the cave house, which was comfy and had great views. The hot water was available and due to cool nights we slept well. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. tours were of good value, and we especially liked wadi bashing with our driver Shevjet (sorry if I am mispronouncing his name). The camp is located at one of the most beautiful parts of Rum.

Stayed in May 2022

The only thing we did not like about our stay is that it could not, on this occasion, be longer but that obviously had to do with our itinerary and not Obeid's gracious hospitality. However, one additional point to add is that, as environmental aware travellers, we would highly encourage this hotel (and its fellow Egyptian hotels) to reduce the use of single-use plastics (especially water bottles and plastic straws), re-use its materials, and to recycle its waste as much as possible. It would help preserve the beautiful Wadi Rum environment in a sustainable way and could also help attract environmentally aware travellers such as ourselves.

This was a fantastic experience for my partner and me. There are so many bedouin campsites to choose from on Booking.com and TripAdvisor so it is difficult to distinguish amongst them. We would say that what makes Obeid's site most unique is that his is a family-run site in which they take great pride and pleasure. Obeid and his sons are evidently dedicated to sharing their bedouin culture and the lovely sights of Wadi Rum with their guests in a genuine, not a mass commercial way. The highlights of our stay included the zarb (not carb!) dinner ( zarb is essentially a dish of vegetables and meat, like lamb, slow-cooked in an underground pit that is the Bedouin answer to barbecue) and the guided tour in a jeep of certain Wadi Rum sites. The cave guest room was also a unique highlight. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Obeid, to his two sons Neyir and Mohammed (whose Bedouin dinner, breakfast and juice were brilliant) and to his grandsons. They made us feel very welcome in an unforgettable setting.

Mohamed truly made me feel like family and I hated to leave the desert! This was a last minute decision to visit Wadi Rum and ended up being the highlight of my trip to Jordan. Incredible adventure, amazing scenery and great hosts!

All well

Location excellent. Food as you would expect in the desert. Attentive, helpful and attentive hosts

Great views. Obeid and his sons are always on hand to help you anyway they can. A very good place to stay in the middle of the desert and relax

Stayed in December 2021

Obeid and Mohammed were very helpful to us throughout our trip. They went above and beyond to organise our transport and offer advice on travelling in Jordan. The camp itself was a unique place to stay and experience traditional Bedouin living, including traditional food. Highly recommend staying here for beautiful desert views in the day and stars at night. We really cannot say enough good things about this experience, you must stay here if you come to Wadi Rum!

Stayed in December 2021

The only negative of my stay was that I did not know enough Arabic to follow the conversation with some of the other guests!

I liked the coziness and the ambience of the camp was exceptional. I did not visit any other camps in Wadi Rum but I think Obeid's camp is a more authentic Bedouin experience than many of the others. I also enjoyed the Bedouin coffee very much as well, I may have drank more than all the hosts combined.
