The camp is great! Staff is excellent and ready to take care of any need. The tent we stayed in may be looking a little old but everything works. As promised, you park your car and they come and get you for a short drive through desert sands. Once there you a can walk to some amazing sites just outside the gate. Then ride camels and/or hire a jeep to tour the Wadi Rum reserve. An amazing trip! At the camp while the evenings cooled off we sat around a camp fire watching the bright stars above and watched the moon climb over the rock walls. If we get to go a next time, we’ll go when the weather is cooler, 97F seems even hotter in the desert.

Ahmad, the camp manager, was amazing. Truly, this camp was everything you wanted and more. The chef was the highlight of the camp—the food was super tasty. The staff were very kind and friendly. Our interactions with everyone exceeded our expectations. We booked two activities through the camp and we were very pleased. Thank you, Ahmad and everyone for making our trip memorable.

Fair and Accurate Review
Good things: Dinner, camp fire, shisha (limited flavours but great), staff are very nice to talk to, great complimentary tea in the evening. Not so great things: breakfast was poor, nobody really welcomes you and flies were flying across all the food items. They also charge for water, and drinks (soft, even water) isn't included in dinner, so if you want any drink with dinner you'll have to pay. The music was playing way too loud into the night, eventually they turned it off as it got too late. Overall: good stay, could have been better for what we paid. £120 for a room. Pro tip: bring a foot towel to dry off your sandy feet before getting into bed, as it's a campsite you'll have sandy shoes heading into the bedroom.

Upon check-in the manager was nice and accommodating. After convincing him that we did not want a desert safari/camel ride, we were able to relax during the afternoon - the day before we had walked all of Petra except the steps up to the monastery and so were quite tired after the drive down to Wadi Rum. The manager also provided tea and water after our rest period which was very refreshing. Evening dinner & breakfast well done The cabin/tent was clean but seemed a bit rough around the edges for being updated in 2018. For example, the private shower should have had two glass doors that slid together to fully enclose the shower - one was completely missing allowing water to spray all over the floor. Inside the camp area, was kept well groomed and fresh-looking making being out and about within the camp a great experience. In the evening as I climbed the steps to a platform on a dune adjacent to the camp to view the valley floor and sunset, I noticed quite a bit of litter against and close to the steps. As I walked down the dune toward the entrance to the camp, I noticed even more litter and other debris. The following morning I went out through the camp entrance to take sunrise pictures of the wadi floor and saw even more litter that had not been there the night before. Apparently, other camp guests had been out in the area the night before and not picked up after themselves. All this, spoils what would otherwise be an exciting and remarkable setting.

There are many camps in Wadi Rum but none have the charm that Rahayeb does. The location of this camp is 2nd to none. Excellent dunes, rock tracks, and mountains to climb. Food was good and staff was great. I went in Covid times so amenities were scarce due to restrictions; however, the camp did not stop us from making our own fun and encouraged it. I recommend this place.

The camp is a bit hidden in between the rocks so it’s very well protected from the wind and sand. The people are very friendly and helpful. The room has all the basics as shown on the picture, neat and clean. The excursion was fun and amazing. The food is delicious and I had probably the best meal there in Jordan.

Fantastic property!
This place was fantastic! The manager was there when I checked in, and upgraded my tent, free of charge, because I work in the United Arab Emirates. The place was a bit hard to find at night off the road, but someone was there right away to guide me up to the camp. Food was delicious, and it had a very family feel to it. Would definitely stay there again.

I go on a wadi rum trip every year and i have gone to many camps, however Rahayeb dessert camp is the most impressive one in my whole experience. It's like 5 star hotel in the middle of the desert, their food, tents, bathrooms, and everything in between is high quality taste. I will come back everytime I decide to enjoy the sleepover in the dessert.
