Wadi Rum Village & Bedouin Camps
قرية رم
The only Bedouin village within the protected area. Camps serve zarb, a dish cooked underground, and the night sky shows the Milky Way.
Rum Village is the Bedouin settlement inside the protected area, where camp hosts mostly welcome guests and organize jeep tours. Most visitors spend the night at a desert camp. They watch the sunset in the evening and eat dinner of zarb, meat slow-cooked in a pit in the sand. After dark, far from light pollution, the Milky Way is clearly visible. Camps range from simple tents to transparent 'Martian dome' tents. Book ahead in peak season, and bring warm clothing, as winter nights in the desert are very cold.
