Sunset Camp

It's hard to give this place ratings...because it has to be something you want to do! Surely camping in the desert in tents is not super clean...but that's not what it's all about! Sunset Camp is the final stop on a Bedouin desert tour of Wadi Rum. There are several tour packages you can choose, from 4 to 8 hours in jeeps or on camels. The guides graciously take you around to all the sites and finally bring you to the camp where they then cook you a huge Bedouin meal with enough food for thirty people (although there were perhaps 10 of us there). We ate and ate and listened to Bedouin music before going outside and watching the sun set with nothing around except hills and sand...it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Without light pollution, the stars shone brighter than I had ever seen them...and it was a wonderful opportunity to get away from it all and just appreciate all that you have. The only negative are the lack of good bathrooms, but again...you're camping in the desert...what do you expect?
