Saleh's Safari Camp near Jebel Khazali to explore the real Wadi Rum. |
An amazing and authentic experience with Saleh and his family. From the very beginning we felt like part of the family. Incredible home cooked traditional food, a beautiful camp in a quite area of the desert up against the rocks (comfy bed, bathroom and showers), an incredible day long tour with his son in the desert. Saleh also helped us with transportation, put us in touch with contacts of his for other parts of our trip and went out of his way to help us with bus tickets. Outstanding experience!
We have spent in Saleh’s place 2 days and 2 nights. First of all if you want to support the local people and family businesses, this is a place for you. Saleh’s wife prepared for us very tadty breakfasts and dinners. We did the jeep travels with Saleh’s son and brother. Both of them were very professional. We did with Saleh’s son the standard tour in Wadi Rum, he also let me drive the jeep. We succeeded the next day to hike to Jabal Umm ad Dami with Saleh’s brother who is a great guide. He also took us to the non touristic places which were great. He also cooked for us in the middle of the desert. We really recommend Saleh’s place for his kindness, hospitality, openness, and for keeping all the promises we agreed on. If you don’t like very touristic places, who want you just to come and go as soon as possible, and like the authentic places, you should definitely choose his place. If you think about the price, keep in mind that here you don’t pay any extras. It’s a all inclusive option with no extras and hidden costs. You get as much water as you want.
Saleh’s camp is the best experience I had in Jordan! It is a real authentic Bedouin experience. The price we paid was very reasonable for a fully package. We arrived way earlier than expected but Saleh’s family were generous enough to offer us lunch at their home, before going on a safari tour with his son to the best spots in Wadi Rum. Their camp and the night stars were amazing! Great place for families, friends, or couples!! This is really the best experience I had in Jordan.
Saleh and his family took us in like we were their own daughters. More than just a tour, they offered a family experience, all the while seeing the famous sites throughout Wadi Rum, learning some history, enjoying fantastic food, marveling at the brilliant desert night-sky, and riding a camel (an extra expense, but must-do if it's your first time -- there is no better setting).Saleh was very clear and timely in his communication leading up to our visit. I highly recommend him, especially for unaccompanied female travelers.
My husband and I booked a 4x4 tour and stayed in Saleh’s camp. It was one of our best experience in our life the camp is well equipped and comfortable. Saleh’s son Moaz took us on a tour with one of their 4x4 car which we enjoyed very much Moaz is the best tour guide in Wadi Rum he took us all of the nice places what Wadi Rum can offer and told us every story about the local places and the people. After we had a really nice meal cooked by Saleh’s wife and watched the sunset which is the best to look from the benches by the camp. Thank you very much will never forget.
With Saleh you are not treated as a tourist but as a true guest in his home. We had a chance to see marvellous magic of Wadi Rum with all major spots and the sunset on the desert. Evening and overnight in his desert camp will stay with us as a unforgettable memory. We were travelling as a family with three children and the whole day trip enriched with camel ride was the best time we spent in our trip to Jordan.
Had the best time spending two nights in Saleh’s camp and getting to know him and his family. They treated us like family and took great care of us from the transportation to seeing the best sites. Alia, his wife made delicious food catered to our dietary needs and likes and we had a ton of fun spending a day in the desert with his son, Moaz. We left with memories we will cherish and will definitely want to come back! Can not say enough great things about the experience.
Amazing, local experience with Saleh and his family. You won't be disappointed - this is a fantastic choice for your Wadi Rum adventures. Saleh and his wife, Alia, and their son, Moaz, are warm and welcoming. They treat you like family and give you a real taste of the Bedouin life in the desert. Alia cooks delicious food (vegetarian options available, just let them know in advance). I always had enough to eat, and I'm a big eater. The tea and coffee are also wonderful, especially with the goat's milk!The beds are comfortable and you can even take your bed outside and sleep under the stars - see the incredible night sky filled with stars!The bathrooms are clean and have Western style toilets, and there is warm water. There are also power outlets to charge your electronics.If you have any doubt about which camp to stay in, I am confident you would have a positive experience with Saleh and his family. We loved our experience and keep in touch with Saleh even now.Also, Saleh can arrange tours to Saudi Arabia. We hope to try a trip with him there soon.
Thank you very much, Saleh and Alia, for welcoming us into your camp. You made us feel like family! Thank you for cooking delicious vegetarian meals for the five of us. The camel ride was safe and unforgettable. Your handsome son, Moaz, gave us a great full-day tour of the nearby stunning sites; cooked a meal for our leisurely lunch as we relaxed in the cool shade, and timed it perfectly to close our day with a spectacular sunset experience. We will long remember sleeping outside under the starry, desert sky. Blessings on you and your family.We will treasure our very fond memories of being with you all.
We have spent 4 days / 3 nights in Salach's Wadi Rum camp. Salach and his wife Aliya are an amazing family. They haven't stopped making us feel like home, taking care of all our needs. The girls in our 2 families group had a unique experience while seating with Aliya, learning about various Beduin culture issues regarding the life of the Bedouin womens Salach has organized everything, starting with sending a taxi driver for picking us up from the border, organizing all the day trips in Wadi Rum, jeep tour, hiking, and Camel back ridind, arranging transposition to Petra, and back to Aqaba. All the time with a genuine smile. We really felt like part of the family. Definitely I recommend Salach for your trips to Wadi Rum.
My family group of four had a wonderful experience with Saleh and his family and I highly recommend Saleh’s Safari Camp.I was looking for a local company that I could book with direct (not through a booking site or an agent). Saleh’s website accurately describes the tours and stays he offers and the prices - there is nothing hidden.We opted to take a camel ride out into the desert before being picked up by a family member for a memorable ride in the back of a pick up truck. The driver took us to all the best places (along with tourists with other operators) and then let us get on with it. In other words we had the best balance of a guide and freedom.The camp is perfect: basic, but comfortable and clean. Saleh’s wife cooked us a delicious meal and breakfast the next day. There were just two other family groups staying and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed.We took our children aged 14 and 13 and this is perfect for adventurous teenagers.
It's genuinely hard to express how good our trip to Wadi Rum with Saleh and his family was.We arrived late and were welcomed with tea and smiles at Saleh's House in Wadi Rum village before being taken to the camp for a delicious meal cooked by his lovely wife Alia - her cooking is worth a trip in itself!Guiding during our trip was done by a combination of Saleh, his eldest son Moaaz and his brother Atiyek, all were outstanding - thoughtful, knowledgeable, friendly and perhaps most importantly, fun to spend time with!The trip was carefully tailored to our needs. Knowing that I had a particular interest in wildlife they were all careful to point out any plants or animals of interest and took us to some of the less visited areas of Wadi Rum where the wildlife is more abundant. Atiyek in particular has an excellent knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area and it was fascinating to spend a day with him.Overall our trip ended up feeling more like visiting friends than tourism and we were truly welcomed into Saleh's home and way of life. If you want to experience Wadi Rum in a way that makes you feel a part of it then I would absolutely reccomend Saleh and Wadi Rum Safari Tours.
Saleh was really welcoming and friendly. Nothing was rushed, he took his time to take us to the best spots. Ride was very bumpy and shaky in the jeep, but I believe that is to be expected on the Wadi Rum desert terrain. Got some excellent photos Great experience, great value for money too!
You must must must come visit Saleh and his family! A real Bedouin experience with spiced tea, delicious home cooked meals and guided tours deep into the beautiful Wadi Rum protected area. All included in one very reasonable price.This is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity to stay with an incredible family with stories, songs and amazing local meals.Call to make reservations now.
We thoroughly enjoyed our jeep tour with Wadi Rum Tours. Saleh was friendly, accommodating and shared a wealth of knowledge on Wadi Rum. He even helped us out with taking some amazing photos ?Wadi Rum Tours offer private tours for groups at a very reasonable price. This suited us perfectly as it meant we could set off at a time that aligned with our packed schedule, and move at our own pace.It was also a pleasure meeting Saleh’s family. They were all incredibly warm and friendly, and you could tell they were just excited for us to share in their culture. We look forward to returning and visiting Saleh’s and the family again (hopefully soon!)
What a wonderful place! Stayed several nights here; Saleh and his family are great hosts, wonderful food, the tours were both relaxing and spectacular. This camp has no neighbors close by, and is very very quiet. The stars are bright at night. Staying here is like visiting family.
