Recognizing its potential, the RSCN transformed the campsite into an ecolodge to support local communities through sustainable tourism and to help fund the conservation of Jordan’s natural landscapes.,Since 2009, the lodge has been managed by EcoHotels, offering travelers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Jordan’s wilderness, connect with local Bedouin communities, and explore layers of ancient history—all with minimal environmental impact.

As the poet Dean Burgon once wrote, Petra remains “a rose-red city half as old as time.”In the afternoon, transfer to the magical desert of Wadi Rum, known as the land of Lawrence of Arabia.
