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.

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.

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.

Nao indico
Nao foi nada lega, primeiro que era dificil se conectar com eles ate chegar no ponto para pegar o carro para o acampamento, chegando la faltando energia e tava muito frio, e nao tinha a estrutura pela qual foi paga, fiquei esperando um retorno sobre o tour e nao consegui ver nada, terminei pagando e nao ficando nem tres horas la. Pior que nao ter as coisas e nao ter as pessoas para dar informacoes

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.

Hidden gem
Contrary to many other camps, Rahayeb desert camp is located inside the Wadi Rum desert, and gives you the real feeling of living in a red sand camp. The room we rented - mini suite - was clean and very cool. Actually cleaner than the Hilton hotel we stayed at near the dead sea afterwards. The food is well prepared and tasty. They make most of it on location through a traditional slow cooking process where they place the food under the sand. This process is made into a show and 15 minutes later you can actually taste the food they bring up from the ground! The camp offers camel and jeep tours. They have evening shows with music and dance. The atmosphere, the music, the food, the activities and the staff - everything is amazing and Rahayeb is highly recommended.

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.

Rude, arrogant worst experience
Stay away from this place & don’t give them the chance to spoil your holidays. The staff are rude, arrogant & not service minded. They are completely the opposite of Jordanian hospitality. The check in was the pathetic & the worst I’ve ever came across. It was completely disorganized. Had to wait over 30 minute from the time of Arrival until I was in my tent. Upon arrival, they gave me a paper cup with tea & completely ignored me for 5-8 minutes . The receptionist used 5 minutes telling me about the different tours which I was not interested right then. It took like 10 minutes to get the staff (Akmed) to get my luggage. The tent was simple, with only one electric outlet on the opposite side of the bed (5meter). The tent has only one light, no where to hang clothes & the same in the bathroom. The room/tent was simple & out dated. The WiFi was good, the dinner was okey & the AC good. No fridge in the room and very pricey for the drinks. there are only men working. I didn’t see even one women from the staff. So ladies, think twice before booking here. The whole place is mediocre. One might like it here if one has lower standards & not well traveled to compare with other places. There are many other campsite nearby which offers better activity and better services. I spoke to a few other guests & they had the same experience. Avoid this place. All they are interested in is selling & sucking money out of you.
