• Wadi Rum: “We’re on the moon! Just get used to saying ‘wow.’ The landscape is surreal, views from the ground or from hiking up on the rocks were fantastic. Definitely worth an overnight to experience the stars and the quiet of the desert night and early morning. A favorite vacation memory, for sure! See more at TripAdvisor. 

• Captain’s Desert Camp: “If you’re visiting Jordan and looking for 5-star luxury, 400-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, spa treatments, and an impeccable concierge service… well, Captain’s Desert Camp may not be for you. But if you’re seeking a truly authentic Bedouin cultural experience, where you can eat, drink, and explore the heart of the desert with a few of the 1.2 million Bedouin people who call Jordan home, Captain’s Desert Camp is an exceptional place to stay… there’s something impossibly romantic about taking a camel ride through the desert at sunrise with the love of your life… it ultimately proved to be our favorite place to stay in Jordan, despite (or perhaps because of) its relative lack of modern amenities.” See more.
