Signposted along a track off the road to Little Petra and tucked discreetly into a hillside, this relaxed and good-value camp looks particularly magical at night when the open fires are burning and the rocks behind the camp are illuminated. Accommodation is in simple but cosy tents with electric light, carpets and mosquito nets. Hot water and towels are available.
A range of tasty traditional fare is prepared by locals and sometimes includes dishes from a zerb oven (buried in the ground) and mehndi (barbecue) pits. The camp offers both a guided visit to Little Petra (JD15) and the back trail guided 4WD-hike to the Monastery in Petra (from JD60). Other trips include a two-hour 4WD and hiking excursion (JD60) to a local wadi with impressive rock formations. The camp is run by the same management as the popular Rocky Mountain Hotel in Wadi Musa.
