Welcome to Petra Wassaif Camp
A warm Bedouin welcome in the quiet hills of Little Petra: en-suite rooms, traditional food and wide mountain sunsets, a short drive from Petra.
Since 2019
A warm welcome awaits you
Petra Wassaif Camp sits among the hills of Albida, close to Little Petra, facing the sunset. It was established in 2019 to share the beauty, peace and hospitality of Petra in a way that feels personal and genuine, so that travellers experience the desert not just as visitors, but as welcomed guests.
Spend your days exploring Petra and Little Petra, then return to a calm camp, a hot shower in your own en-suite room, traditional meals and a glass of Bedouin tea as the light fades over the mountains.
