WADI RUM QUIET VILLAGE CAMP
Wadi Rum's popularity means that it's increasingly difficult to find the desert silence that many are seeking. Thankfully, this camp is tucked behind a towering mountain, so it's sheltered from wind and noise yet still central enough to be within easy reach of the main trekking paths and climbing sites. Like many stays here, it offers basic Bedouin tents with shared facilities, but some of these also have heaters and en-suite bathrooms. However, if you're keen to sleep out under the stars, that's also possible during summer. There are certainly plenty of ways to make the most of your setting, with 4WD tours, camel rides (try a nighttime trek across desert dunes) and stories around the campfire. Tents from around £30 per night, including breakfast and dinner; wadirumquietvillage.camp
