Wild Oryx Camp Bubbles

We had a fantastic stay at Wild Oryx Camp in Wadi Rum. Our host, Eid, was not only welcoming but also an excellent guide and storyteller. He clearly communicated the agenda, explained our options for excursions, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The food was decent, and the camp itself exceeded our expectations. The two domes we stayed in had plenty of space for our group of eight, the bathrooms were clean, and the rooms were air-conditioned, a huge plus in the desert heat. One of the best aspects of Wild Oryx Camp is its location. It’s set further into Wadi Rum, surrounded by beautiful desert landscapes, unlike some other camps we passed that were closer to the roads and city. If you are looking for a more remote and authentic setting, this is it. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend Wild Oryx Camp to anyone visiting Wadi Rum.

We loved our stay in the desert. The camp was small and very friendly - the staff were great - all managed to communicate in English despite it not being their first language. The view of the starts and the Milky Way was unforgettable. Downsides - it’s probably not a 5* as advertised, and the bathroom was basic but clean. Though the beds were very comfortable. I don’t think this detracts from the experience / it will be one of our most memorable trips. The pick up was odd - there was a lot of driving on the road in the back of an open jeep which didn’t feel safe - though eventually we got to the desert and that was better, though unexpectedly we stopped at the owner’s own house for a briefing which I would have expected at the camp itself. Overall - great location, great staff, great bedroom space and view of the desert, bathroom pretty basic. Food was lovely. I would recommend this camp if you are looking for something more personal.

This was a great camp in a beautiful location . The owner is very responsive and will message you with anything you need . He made it a great wadi rum experience.

Eid is very responsive and accommodated all our requirements. Very unique and exited stay if any one traveling to Wadi Rum highly recommended to stay at this property.

Wounderful stay at the camp. The location in the middle of the Wadi Rum the food the view from the room, the friendship of the owner made our experience very memorable. Awsome stay, i would definitly recommand! The sky was so clear, no lights around, i never saw so many stars in my life!

It was wonderful. Eid -the owner gave us an orientation at his place where we left our car, and we left with Moutaz (hope im spelling correct :)) for the camp. As we arrived in the afternoon and we had only one night, we had our tour before reaching the camp. We were travelling with our 22 months old baby, and they made us feel very welcomed and suggested activities considering our limitations. In the camp there were 5 bubbles and its natural stargazing without paying for it when you take your chairs outside. Or seat in the seating area in front of the restaurant area. Ramadan who made the food and service was very kind and responsive. The bubbles were clean and had all what u needed for. We enjoyed our time a lot. Very much recommended.

Why should you choose this camp when there are literally hundreds to choose from? It’s simple. It’s safe, clean, beautiful and an experience like no other. Eid (host) and his family (including his nephew Motaz) are two of the most welcoming and friendly people my husband and I have ever met. This a true family run camp and every detail was taken care of from being able to park our cars at his property and bring driven into the desert on a 4x4 to a wonderful tour, sunset tea and finally a delicious dinner. Everything we wanted was taken care of and we felt well taken care of. My husband and I have travelled over the world and it’s one our favourite experiences together. I have already recommended this camp to so many people. We felt so safe and welcome in Jordan too. I can’t wait to come back!

What an amazing place! The owner was very hospitable, the bubbles are great, clean, comfortable and the area is so beautiful. You wake up to an amazing sunrise and see the most amazing sky at night. It is far away from the other camps and the road. You have the perfect Wadi Rum experience in a beautiful, family run camp with bathrooms, wifi etc. My kind of "camping." We were treated like a family and the service exceeded our expectations. We also booked a full day tour of Wadi Rum and it was awesome. We can highly recommend this place and will recommend it to our friends. We actually should have stayed longer.

Exzellent! Der Gastgeber, der Service, das Essen: alles wirklich hervorragend und familiär. Abgeschieden und auf Gastfreundlichkeit ausgelegt.

I stayed at the camp this weekend and everything about it was amazing. Eid and his nephew Motaz made me feel so welcome. This is so much better than the other camps in the area, some of which are literally by the roads and crammed in. This is far away from others and you really get a good remote desert experience. I’m a vegetarian and the food was fantastic, and plenty of it! I did the jeep tour and camel tour which Eid organised. Eid and everyone else couldn’t do enough for me, and made me feel very welcome despite the fact I was travelling alone. If you want somewhere to stay in the area then choose this place, you won’t be disappointed!

This glamping camp is located in the North of Wadi Rum Desert not super far from town (but there are no “paved roads” so your host will drive you around). It has 4-5 tents only so if you prefer a quieter experience over those larger camps, this would be a good option. The host Eid and his family are friendly and willing to go extra miles to help. They organised my tours while I was there and sorted out all my meals. They were very communicative from the moment I made my booking to the day I got there (all through WhatsApp to share all the tips and where to meet and guided me to their home to leave my car). Great hospitality! The bed is comfortable, the bubble tent (both interior and exterior) is clean and makes a unique experience. You get hot shower (but you will need to adjust it for a while but no big issues considering you’re in the middle of a desert, and there’s AC inside the bubble tent too for those warmer days. The curtains are good in blocking out the light so you could sleep in if you need. If you’re thinking of stargazing at night, this is possible right outside the camp, however photography might be a bit harsh as this camp is not that far away from village and you can still see the bright light from the village in distance. Perhaps check with the host for a stargazing tour if the season is suitable to view the Milky Way from more remote locations. Overall, excellent experience! Thanks for hosting, Eid & team!

We booked this on very short notice, and I am glad we did! Eid, his nephew Motaz, and his whole team are extremely kind, sweet, and welcoming. It´s nice to be able to be flexible...we were extremely tired after our drive to Wadi Rum and didn´t want to do a long desert tour as recommended by Eid. Instead, Motaz drove us to the three best stops in the desert on the way to the camp and then picked us up again for a short sunset drive. The bubbles are in a remote location and have everything you need; we loved that you can see so many stars at night. The dinner/breakfast was elaborate and so delicious, you just feel like you are staying with their family. I loved that Eid even brought a birthday cake for my husband (I only mentioned it once in a text message), it was such a sweet gesture and perfectly sums up the outstanding hospitality. Communication before and during the stay is very fast and helpful. I can´t recommend Wild Oryx enough if you are looking for a small, personal, and very welcoming camp.

The owner gave us his full attention and was very hospitable. The rooms were clean, the bed very comfortable, the food was great, the location was out of this world. Loved the excursion in the desert and the drivers were experts in maneuvering the trucks in the sand. The views were breathless and the staff made us feel like family. Highly recommended!!!

Owner was great. Went above and beyond trying to accommodate. All the comforts of a 5 star hotel in the middle of the desert. Highly recommend.

Ein sehr ruhig gelegenes Bumble- Camp fernab von nächtlicher Lichtbeschmutzung. Sehr große und komfortable Bubbles. Ein Aufenthalt von zwei Tagen erscheint uns empfehlenswert. Besonders gut hat uns der Ausflug in den südlichen Teil des Wadis gefallen.

I stayed with my girlfriend for one night. It was the best stay we’ve had since arriving in Jordan — we were treated like a King and Queen. Before we even arrived, they waited for us along the road to make it easier to reach the camp. As soon as we got there, they welcomed us with lunch. The bubbles were spotless and we had our own privacy, as they were lined up next to each other (unlike other camps where the bubbles are all crowded together), and the view was beautiful. Later, after choosing our tour, my girlfriend and I had booked an activity that we eventually decided not to do. Even though they had already paid for it on our behalf, they didn’t ask us to reimburse them. Special thanks to Motaz, the best guide we could’ve had in the desert! Special people in a special place.

Alles super! Nur 4 Unterkünfte. Sehr ruhig und eine tolle Aussicht.

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay here. Its us truly out of this world waking up to views of the desert. Eid was the perfect host and guide on an incredible tour of Wadi Rum and helping me conquer my fear of heights to climb Umm Ad Ami mountain.

This has to be one of the most incredible experiences - and stays - we’ve ever had! Eid picked us up from the town, where we stopped to grab some snacks and bread (relax, it’s not a scam, nobody is going to ask you for money). We then sat down and had a chat at his house (where you leave your car). Eid made us feel incredibly welcome - and safe. As an LGBTQ couple it can feel a little apprehensive to travel - Eid acknowledged that literally told us to be ourselves and act no different than we normally would. From there we went on a tour of the south part of Wadi Rum - which was UNREAL. If only we had more time we would have definitely done more. The camp was stunning and the food - both dinner and breakfast - were better than the food we had at any other hotels in Jordan. A truly delicious feast. The stars and that feeling you get waking up in the desert in a pod can’t be explained and you can only understand it when you experience it. While every single thing about this stay was exceptional, I think what really blew our mind was Eid’s (and everybody else working at the camp) hospitality - all genuine, interesting people who made it their mission to ensure we had an adventure to remember. We have many friends who are thinking of visiting Jordan and we’re making sure they’ll be staying at this camp. You should too!

We loved our time in Wadi Rum at the Wild Oryx Camp! We wish we had stayed longer than one night. Eid treats his guests like family and our experience was personalized and tailored to our preferences. Our daughter had a blast riding around in the truck on the tour and also getting to ride a camel for the first time. As a vegetarian, I was so pleased with the food available and everything was delicious. The bubble tents were spacious and tucked away, so it felt like you were literally the only ones in the desert. We look forward to going back and staying again one day!
