The best accommodations Al-Beidha

In this establishment, you live the adventure of the desert, but comfortably! The sanitary facilities are good with hot water, the beds comfortable and the blankets thick. The camp run by Attaf and Jane is ideally located in the mountains, far from the tourist buses of Wadi Musa. Under the stars and by the fire, you will be told Bedouin legends. If you have the opportunity, spend a night here rather than in Wadi Musa, the experience is worth it.

Sure, the price is very high, but of all the camps in Little Petra, this is the most justified. The location, on a mountainside and in an open wadi, is idyllic. Each "room" is set on a terrace with a hot tub. It includes a "bedroom" bubble with covered walls to enjoy some privacy, but with a transparent sky, a fully transparent living room with a panoramic view, a bathroom. You sleep under the starry canopy, with the added bonus of comfort. Meals are served as a buffet in a maxi-bubble.

Of course, the camp is charming, especially at night, when the small lights illuminate the cavities of the big rock against which it is leaning. The atmosphere then becomes magical. But the prices are prohibitive. Most of the tents have a shared bathroom, the cave is equipped with a double mattress placed directly on the ground and which hardly fits in the room... Neither the large Bedouin lounge decorated with hangings, carpets and cushions, nor the whirlpool bath will make you swallow the price.

Before arriving at Beidha from the visitors' centre in Wadi Musa, follow the sign to the camp. The name comes from the name of the Bedouin tribe that runs it. The place is very pleasant and far from everything. It offers a rejuvenating stopover away from the tourist circus of Wadi Musa. It will be perfect for those who are looking for peace and quiet and practice a different kind of tourism. The welcome is very friendly and you dine under a large Bedouin tent. On the other hand, the rates are very prohibitive for the comfort offered. Try to negotiate.
