Rum Magic Nights Camp located inside Wadi Rum Protected Area in Jordan and one of the world’s most outstanding desert landscapes, covering 720 square kilometers of dramatic desert wilderness in the south of Jordan. Its huge and high mountains and broad sandy wadis are home to several Bedouin tribes and a surprising range of desert wildlife.
Rum Magic Nights is a modern Bedouin lifestyle camp that is owned by one of the Bedouin families that have been living in that area for hundreds of years. The camp started hosting travelers visiting Jordan in the 1980s, and was redesigned in 2022 to meet more travelers demands and provide more luxurious options, the desert became very hot during summer time, and very cold in the winter, so it became necessary to provide tents with Air-conditioning and private bathrooms. This looks simple but in fact it is not, because imagine providing electricity which is essential for air conditioning to an area that is 10 Km away from main grid lines ! 10 kilometers of sand and off-road driving! Differently you would agree that this is a tough thing to do.
So there are very limited camps inside the protected area that provides Deluxe tents like Rum Magic Nights camp (With private bathroom and AC on tents), due to the fact that the protected area is isolated from the outside world, so there is no roads, electricity or grid lines, cell phone towers or even Internet; Rum Magic Nights are the only camp amongst these few that have Internet access all over the camp and electricity during your stay. You can easily tell if the camp is inside the protected area or not if it has a road leading to it and connected to the main grid lines.
