Petra, Jordan

Seven Wonders Bedouin Camp

One of the best parts of traveling is learning about new cultures and living as the locals do. If you make the trek to Petra in Jordan, skip the hotel. Instead, sleep under the stars in a Bedouin camp in the desert. At Seven Wonders Bedouin Camp, you’ll feel closer to the landscape and experience a way of life that’s centuries old.

After a long day of exploring, you’ll be able to relax on a comfortable bed inside your tent, take a hot shower and eat a traditional home cooked meal crafted by the hospitable staff. Their large beit shaar tents are perfect for making new friends and drinking tea. At night, lay out under the stars. Visitors describe it as magical.

Although the camp is located in the middle of the peaceful desert, it is a 20 minute walk to Little Petra and a 15 minute drive to the entrance of Petra, giving you the best of both worlds.
