The Treasury
@pierluigi
We recommend entering at 06.00, both because you will find very few people and therefore take better photographs and because of the temperature... the temperature tends to rise a lot around 10.00.
entering at 6.00 you will have finished visiting the site around 11.30 - 12.00 depends on how far you managed to walk... the site is very large especially if you decide to climb the 900 steps to get to the monastery

Hasan Zawaideh Camp
@pierluigi
Wadi Rum! A spectacular place that has the power to enchant anyone who visits. The red desert is like a living painting, with its towering dunes and rock formations that seem carved by ancient art.
Nights in Wadi Rum are magical. The starry sky is so bright and dense that it looks like a blanket of diamonds. Staying in one of the Bedouin camps or a traditional tent adds an authentic touch to the experience. The tranquility of the desert at night is a perfect contrast to the vibrant energy during the day.
Guided jeep or camelback excursions allow you to explore the most remote corners of Wadi Rum, while the sunsets are spectacular and picturesque. However, it's important to be prepared for the extreme temperatures of the desert during the day and the coolness of the night.
In summary, Wadi Rum is a place that stays etched in memory. The sensory experiences, from sight to sound, are amplified in this magical desert, creating indelible memories.

the only positive note of the hotel is the centrality and the view of the Roman amphitheater, I slept in this structure but I would recommend other structures even if they are further away from the center
