We were greeted by the site manager, Mr Barakat and we were welcomed with a coffee in the beautifully decorated Bedouin seating tent. All of the staff we encountered were all exceedingly friendly and helpful. We had arranged through the camp for a two hour 4x4 trip around the local area and a one hour camel ride for the afternoon. Both were very good experiences. There was also a hose riding option available in camp. The food was fabulous and it was interesting to be around when the food was deposited in a pit , fire lit, covered, then layered in sand and left to cook for four hours. The resultant food was great with lamb falling of the bone. The Arab coats in each room were needed after dark and really kept you warm. Good communal area outside, ideal for stargazing, sunset view around the back of the camp. ||Mr Barakat was really exceptional and attentive to visitors. Accomodation was very clean and super heavy blankets available in each room if the night temperature dropped. Breakfast was also included.

Read moreDuring my trip to Jordan with my father we had a 1-night stay in the Space Village Luxury Camp where we greeted by staff and a light lunch (which turned out to be a delicious and big lunch) was served. We were shown to our tent and I was surprised by the airco in a tent, for the rest the room was as expected and good. As we booked a jeep safari later in the afternoon we were alone in the camp and I was offered coffee by the manager Barakat. What a lovely man , we talked about life while sipping coffee...a lovely and relaxing afternoon in the desert. The Jeep Safari was good and the evening meal was amazing, the food was cooked in a pit underground for hours and the meat and vegetables tasted great! And then Barakat too us away to see the stars at night, what an experience!! Laying on my back enjoying the stars in full peace and quiet...a memorable moment. So all in all I had a fantastic time and a big shout out to Barakat who made the stay even...
