Not recommended for solo female travelers. Inappropriate interaction from male staff and lack of basic hospitality upon arrival. Unfriendly and unwelcoming and unclean. Offered to help with my transportation out of their camp to the main city, and offered to let me leave one day early otherwise I could not return to the countryI was living in on time. We settled everything financially and they said it was fine that I leave early. Then they gave me a poor review on Airbnb because I did so. Not honest and good-natured people.

Our two-day stay at Arabian Nights was the highlight of our trip to Jordan. Shaker, owner of the Bedouin encampment, is a hospitable, friendly and knowledgeable host. The tents and provided bedding kept us warm in 35-degree Fahrenheit {2-degree Celsius} February cold. The beds were clean and comfortable. Dinners in the large food tent were filled with conversation around the fireplace as we ate food cooked in the ground, Bedouin-style, outdoors.
Our first day in Wadi Rum was spent on a 12-destination four-wheeler expedition provided by Arabian Nights that included several natural bridges, a Bedouin watering place and lunch cooked in the shade of a rock face before ending at a vista overlooking the wadi at sunset.
On our second day we took an Arabian Nights half-day 4x4 tour to Jebel Hash, a spectacular bluff overlooking the wadi, Jordan's highest mountain and Saudi Arabia beyond.
Nights at the camp included a communal dinner in the large common tent around a central fireplace. A wonderful experience in every way. From accommodations to tours, Arabian Nights was special. Recommended as highly as possible.
Our guide on both tours, Hamet, an employee of Arabian Nights, was also exceptional.

Beautiful location, great atmosphere, comfortable in every way (beds, tents, nice big fire in the main tent, extras like warm jackets in the tents for us, hot water in the mornings),delicious food, kind and helpful guys running the place - real bedouin who want to share their culture. It really was a wonderful experience and one of the best things I've ever done. I'd highly recommend it! We stayed two nights and I was sad to leave! Just fantastic!

Excellent choice of Bedouin camp! The family were so kind and hospitable towards me and the other guests- they cooked great food in huge portions and were happy to help with any request I had. Momo is a fantastic driver (he collected me from Rum village & took me to the camp) & his cousin Ibrahim is great guide. My best experience in Jordan so far.

We have a nice stay in the camp (too short but really good time). We arrived late in the evening but a diner was here for us and the half day tour we did in the desert with you was perfect ! I recommand Wadi Rum and this family camp.
It is really a peaceful place far away the city life :)
