Shaheen Camp Wadi Rum

Our stay at Shaheen Camp was an incredible experience, even though we were transferred to Hasan Zawaideh Camp due to the low season. Since the camps are next to each other, and likely have the same owners, the transition was seamless, and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The staff made sure we felt at home, offering delicious tea, traditional dance, and live music, creating a truly immersive Bedouin experience. The variety of tours and activities they provided allowed us to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Wadi Rum in an unforgettable way. The food was outstanding—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every meal felt like a special occasion, adding to the magic of our stay. The only minor point for improvement was the bed setup, as it was made up of two single beds combined, but honestly, this was such a small detail compared to the overall incredible experience we had. If you’re looking for a welcoming, authentic, and memorable stay in Wadi Rum, I highly recommend Shaheen and Hasan Zawaideh Camp. I would gladly return for another unforgettable adventure!

Bad Experience After Upgrade to a Different Camp Despite being notified of an upgrade from a different camp,the reality fell short. I paid $58 for a triple room with a panoramic view but got a room with no view, just neighboring houses.Bathroom issues were present – no shower door led to water everywhere, and the water heater was unreliable. Staff fixed things quickly, but cold water interruptions were frustrating. Additionally, the towels provided were noticeably overused.I attempted to upgrade our room due to the disparity between our actual room and the one shown in the booking photos. However, the owner demanded an additional 100 dinars, on top of my $58, despite the fact that the online price was only $100. This meant he wanted a total of $198 for a room that was selling online for $100. It was disappointing that the owner insisted on overcharge us, especially considering our willingness to move to this camp rather than the one we initially booked, which lacked tourists. Furthermore, the water issues persisted in our original room, with the missing shower door adding to the inconvenience.The buffet, costing an extra 10 dinars, left much to be desired. Hidden costs for drinks were unexpected, and limited food options lacked variety. On a note, they accepted card payments.Food-wise, it was basic – chicken, plain rice, hummus without oil, and a dessert that needed improvement. Breakfast lacked fruit options. The absence of a toaster and only tea and coffee made it worse.

Amazing! Views are great, and the staff are super friendly! From my room I could see the desert, and the food was gorgeous. All of the staff work incredibly hard, and would do anything for the guests. Will definitely be telling all my friends, and would return anytime!
