How Large is the territory of the camp ? is it designed for large groups and evening events ?

Do they have photos of the bathroom and hygiene facilities?

Exactly who should you trust for your Jordan tour and overnight camping experience?

As well as online reviews, we asked several avid travelers to share their favorite Wadi Rum experiences with kids and what made them so special.
Wonders T&T came to no conclusion; there are actually a whole LOAD of desert camps out there, especially if you look at some of the online booking engines, and it can be a bit a matter of taste and budget. Thus, we decided to continue working to resolve this issue for you .
