Captain’s Desert Camp in Wadi Rum Jordan 2026
Captain’s Desert Camp offers visitors the opportunity to stay in the dramatic desert landscape of Wadi Rum while experiencing traditional Bedouin hospitality, local food and a range of desert activities.
Located near the Disi area, the camp provides a practical base for travelers exploring southern Jordan, whether they are visiting Wadi Rum for one night, joining a longer Jordan itinerary or combining the desert with Aqaba and Petra.
Captain’s operates different camp experiences designed for individual travelers, families, groups, tour operators and private events. The official Captain’s website presents three options: the Main Desert Camp near Disi, an eco-style camp inside the Wadi Rum reserve near Um Infous Mountain, and private camps that can be arranged in selected locations with advance notice.
Bedouin-Style Desert Accommodation
The camp experience is built around traditional Bedouin-style tents and shared spaces where guests can relax, eat and enjoy the desert atmosphere.
Visitors can experience the silence of Wadi Rum, watch the sunset across the sandstone mountains and enjoy clear desert skies after dark. The camp is suitable for guests looking for a cultural desert stay rather than conventional city-hotel accommodation.
Traditional meals are an important part of the experience. Captain’s offers local dishes and Bedouin-style food, including zarb, alongside other Jordanian meals and barbecue options.
Desert Tours and Activities
Captain’s Desert Camp can assist guests with a selection of Wadi Rum activities, including:
- 4×4 desert jeep tours
- Camel and horse rides
- Hiking arrangements
- Hot-air-balloon activities
- Private desert events and functions
- Special Bedouin meals
- Transportation to and from other locations in Jordan
- Petra visit arrangements
Availability, schedules and prices should be confirmed directly with the camp before arrival.
Private Groups and Events
The camp can also support private groups, tour operators and special functions.
Private desert camps may be arranged in selected areas of Wadi Rum with advance notice. This creates options for private dinners, group gatherings, incentive travel, cultural programs and special desert experiences.
Organizers should contact Captain’s directly to confirm location permissions, transportation, meal arrangements, group capacity and activity requirements.
Combine Wadi Rum with Aqaba
Captain’s Desert Camp is part of the wider Captain’s hospitality group in southern Jordan.
Travelers continuing to Aqaba can also stay at Captain’s Hotel in Aqaba, located in the city centre near Aqaba’s waterfront and commercial areas.
For seafood and local dining in Aqaba, visitors can also explore Captain’s Restaurant, another Captain’s Group business.
This makes it possible to combine a Wadi Rum desert stay with accommodation, dining and activities in Aqaba under the same local hospitality group.
Plan Your Stay
Contact Captain’s Desert Camp directly before travelling to confirm:
- Camp location and meeting point
- Tent type and availability
- Meal arrangements
- Check-in and transportation
- Jeep-tour or camel-ride options
- Private-group requirements
- Seasonal operating conditions
Wadi Rum conditions can change according to season and weather, so advance confirmation is recommended.
