Al Burj Vacations from $165

We were soooo excited to come to Wadi Rum. We met Audi, the owner when we were dropped off in town and he was nice. However, we went on to have our mediocre tour (our guide was very nice!) and after we were brought back to a camp that wasn’t at all what was advertised and we were literally the only ones staying there. On the map it appeared to be in a whole other area far from Moonlight camp, and is called the “Milky Way Nights camp” which is advertised at a quarter of the price. It was advertised as a “Luxury B&B within walking distance of Lawrence's Spring.” It was not. We actually drove past where the it was supposed to be when we left, it was 15 min drive from where we stayed and we had cell service in that area, not to mention it would have been a short walk to the town. On top of that, there was no covered patio with chairs to sit in (what we were most looking forward to and was shown in ALL the pictures), one bar of WiFi if you’re lucky, one of our windows didn’t close, & we had rock hard pillows. The only good thing was the dinner, where the owner eventually showed up and some of his friends.We knew we had been cheated very quickly, but we had barely any WiFi to contact anyone, and they left us with one guy at the camp that didn’t even speak English, so we couldn’t even communicate with him. We were trapped in the desert, with no where to go, nothing in walking distance. This made us feel not only cheated, but unsafe and vulnerable. Be aware of any future scams here!
