There is no bathroom in the house which can be problematic especially at night. the bathrooms were located about 100 meters from our house. But you somehow accept it because you are on the desert. Finally we did not see it very problematic therefore I gave 10 points :)

Reviewed Aug 28, 2023Very good location. The property is surrounded by beautiful quiet desert. The magnificent, peaceful camels that live on the farm make the stay more interesting. You can buy camel milk ice cream at the reception and book camel rides in the desert. The staff are very friendly and are happy to tell you interesting facts about the desert.
We found a scorpion in our bed (yellow, with a long thin tail, probably dangerous). We spent 15 minutes trying to get rid of it from the room. It's probably not the property's fault, such things can happen when you stay overnight in the desert, but it's something to bear in mind when booking (especially families with children, for whom scorpion venom is dangerous)

Reviewed Apr 3, 2023camels are amazing and friendly and the ride was very fun. the place is not far from the nearest city (10 min drive), mind that on Saturday you will not find lunch or dinner in the city - everything is closed. in the ranch they also don’t serve diner on Saturday so bring something with you cooked or you can cook there in the kitchen. You really feel that you are away and can relax. toilets are rather clean, houses also.
the houses itself without a toilet inside and built from the most cheap material and even without glass windows it is a bit not a value for the money. price per night is around $150, so I think the quality of the houses should be much better for this price. the showers are not very clean and old- I decided not to use it. kitchen is not the best, everything is a bit dirty and I saw a mouse.

Reviewed Nov 16, 2022The Camel Ranch was one of the highlights of our trip through the desert. It has a very relaxing and calm atmosphere and many different areas to chill out. We only stayed one night but I would recommend staying at least 2 days. Ahmed from the reception explained to us where to go to see Colored Sands and the Crater, something that was not on out list, which were grand recommendations. The dinner served in the evening was delicious and plenty. Alternatively you can use the kitchen which is well equipped. The wifi also worked very well in the common area and the bathrooms were exceptionally clean. I would say the Camel Ranch is a much better option than staying at a hotel at the Dead Sea as the price for one night is very reasonable and you get the experience of sleeping in the desert!
Nothing, our stay was perfect!
