Rumshines Camp - A traditional Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum's Sunset Place with desert tours and starlit stays
Rumshines Camp, a 2-star accommodation rated 8.3/10 on Booking.com, offers a traditional Bedouin experience inside Wadi Rum Protected Area, 12 km from Rum Village. The camp features private goat-hair tents with double or single beds, as well as the option to sleep outdoors under the stars or in a nearby cave. Guests share clean bathroom facilities with showers, sinks, and both Western-style and Arabic toilets. A continental breakfast includes flatbread, eggs, cheese, hummus, and traditional Bedouin olive oil with mint, while dinner features dishes like Zarb (meat and vegetables cooked underground) and Mansaf (Jordan's national dish). Evening activities include Bedouin storytelling, music, and tea by the fire. Rumshines Camp organizes private jeep tours, camel rides, and guided hikes to landmarks like Khazali Canyon and Jebel Um Dami.
Pros
The camp's Sunset Place location provides unobstructed views of Wadi Rum's vibrant desert colors.
Private tours ensure personalized experiences, with options for hiking, camel rides, or jeep excursions.
Traditional Bedouin meals, including Zarb and Mansaf, are prepared onsite.
Evening cultural activities feature storytelling and music around a communal fire.
Cons
Shared bathroom facilities may not suit guests preferring private amenities.
The remote desert location requires advance coordination for transportation.
“Rumshines Camp strikes me as an authentic immersion into the Wadi Rum landscape, where the focus seems to be less on opulent amenities and more on the raw beauty of the desert. Khaled, the guide, appears to be central to the experience, facilitating both adventure and a deeper understanding of Bedouin culture; capping off the days, the camp's stargazing opportunities promise unforgettable nights.”
