    Both the accommodation itself and the dinner, additional activities and especially atmosphere and true kindness and hospitality of the owner and whole his staff were absolutely extraordinary. I can only recommend this place. It was amazing experience. Choose this camp and you will not be disappointed. The camp is indeed in the middle of the desert, far away from any asphalt roads, with total silence at night. It of course also means that water pressure or burning water temperature and adequate air conditioning during 40C are not what you should expect to have around the clock here but… who needs it in the desert - when you can open doors to your bubble tent, go to terrace, feel mild breeze and watch the stars. Complimentary breakfast and neverending cups of tea, as well as extra paid zarb dinner and jeep tour were the best value for the money I could expect. We had 4h drive just for us for less than USD 80 (which could be also the price for much bigger group) - with the best driver we could have - distinguished Bedouin gentleman who despite little knowledge of English took care of us, went much beyond our expectations and made this trip real adventure. Thank You, Tomek and Zuza from Poland. And do not be afraid to come to Jordan these days! It is such a fabulous and safe country and kind people! And so many things to see here!

    Water in bathroom wasn't hot all day and there were some ants on the floor. Bed wasn't too comfortable. But all in all I would come back there:)

    Beautiful and quiet location, far away from other camps. Amazing hospitality of the owner, delicious food, nice tents, helpful staff and great memories. Great trip to Wadi Rum made the stay wonderful.

    Nothing. If i can just give an advice... adding a couple of shelves and hangers would make the room much more comfortable

    Very nice camp in the middle of Wadi Rum, located in a hidden spot of the desert... away from main touristic paths. Salman and all the staff were super friendly and welcoming. They helped with any request we made. The "room" had a beautiful view on the desert with a big window just in front of the bed. The comfort is in accordance with what you can get in a desert camp. We truly enjoyed a desert tour with Abu Ayman. Dinner was freshly prepared on site ...and was simply fantastic. I recommend this camp if you are planning a trip over there

    All good. Knowing that this is isolated in the desert, power is obtained through solar energy. So, bring along a headlamp or torchlight as it's lights out after 11.30pm till next morning.

    Salman offered the 4 hour jeep ride which was quite comprehensive and included Mushroom rock and Umm Fruth Rock Bridge. This was at JD80. If you excluded them, then price will reduce but it's worth taking the former. The location of the camp was ideal as you can get nice photos of the stars as it's isolated with hills in the background. Dinner which you had to pay and complimentary breakfast was great.

    Our stay at the camp was absolutely wonderful! A really nice driver picked us up at the Visitor Center and we experienced a breathtaking Jeep Tour through Wadi Rum at Sunset. The Room was big and so beautiful! After they showed us our cabin we drank tea with the people who worked there. After that, we opted for Dinner, which was super delicious and the breakfast the next morning was fine. The best Foul I had in my life. The desert is beautiful and I can only recommend staying at this camp.

    It would be great to put a coffee table in the rooms to put some little stuff, and the towels could have been better, some more water absorbing i mean.

    We stayed 2 nights, it was really relaxing. The first day, we 2 were the only guests, and sit by the campfire with Bekir, Tina and the other camp staff, talked about our cultures, stargazing etc. They are all warmhearted, helpful, welcoming people. Location is very quiet, no artificial lights, there is no other camp near, so you can see the stars very clearly. Waking up to that sunrise view and colors is the highlight. Rooms have amazing mountain views. While resting in my bed, i saw some camels feeding grass come very near to my room! It was amazing. Rooms are clean, hot water is available at any time. Very special thanks to Bekir for making delicious dinner including zarb, and making me morning coffee, preparing me some lunch for my jeep tour, i have already missed him! Our arrival was very close to sunset, upon my request Salman arranged our pick up point according to that so we can watch amazing sunset before going camp, it was really superb gesture. Shukran for all.

    We enjoyed two nights at Salman Zwedeh camp. Location is quiet and have amazing mountain views. Rooms are clean and tidy. The windows make you feel on top of the moon!! Special thanks for Bakr for his yummy zarb and breakfast and for Abo Ayman who took us for a 2 hrs jeep tour in the amazing desert.

    I think it was the best choice we could’ve made out of all the accommodation in Wadi Rum. This camp is hidden away from everything, it’s calm, it’s silent with extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Our room was spotless, smelled amazing and the VIEW😍 was just spectacular from our room. Make sure you book some excursions with them, we loved both the 4x4 tour and the morning camel ride (the camels were nicely taken care of and seemed really happy there). And the fooood was soooo tasty, both the breakfast and dinner! Our host created a truly special place in the middle of the desert. Would definitely book again and recommend it to everyone!

    Salman is a real host. His camp Is located in one of the best corner of the Wadi Rum protected area far from the caothic jeep tracks that run from Wadi Rum village to the South part of the reserve. The rooms are clean, with private wc and with a magnific window on the desert. The food made by the chief is very tasty. The bedouin driver and Johnny were very kind and helped us when we got lost. HE IS ONE OF THE FEW THAT ALLOWED YOU TO REACH THE CAMP BY FOOT AND DOESN'T FORCE YOU TO DO THE JEEP TOURS. Thanks Salman and all your team for the beautiful experience.

    It was in Feb so not really warm nights to enjoy the sky from outside and definitely my stay was too short!

    The location is perfect as you don't see any other camps/lights and hear any noises. The staff - this is the best customer service I have ever experienced - everyone is kind, polite and respecting your private space. The food - delicious and no way to finish it all. The tents have its own bathrooms, you get really warm blankets. You have a big window in it to look at the moon at night or the sun just after the sunrise - what else you need! Nothing to complain - this is the camp on the dessert but has more facilities than expected! The owner will help you with organising a transport, e.g. from Petra or Aqaba, if you wish. No hidden cost - all clear. The jeep tour with their driver - amazing. He is such a good man going extra mile to make sure you take 100% out of it.

    There was nothing what we didn't like.

    Just look at the photo below. What else would you expect staying on the Wadi Rum desert when you wake up and go to bed ? Our desert tour was also amazing. Getting a pick up truck out of the sand was such a good fun! Respect to our young driver ;)

    If you are looking for an unique and memorable experience this is the place to stay. Great staff, comfortable tent and wonderful food. Take some cash with you for the dinners and desert activities. You can't leave the desert without a dinner at Salman's camp and a jeep tour through the desert. Thank you to Salman and to all the staff. Special thanks to our desert guide. For us, you are the best photographer in Jordan. Thank you :)

    This was the second time to visit Salman's camp, the first was in 2018. Since then, the camp had an amazing makeover. The camp was completely renovated and the tents are now ensuite with an amazing (big-window) view of the desert. The location is ideal, quiet with no light or noise pollution. The staff were very hospitable. The highlight of our stay was the full-day tour organised by Salman which included a 4x4 tour, hiking to the highest peak of Jordan, Jabal Umm ad Dami and then lunch cooked by bedouins.
