I was in Jordan last month and spend a night at a Bedouin camp in the Wadi Rum area.
We were served a tagine type meal (very good) and spent the evening around a campfire drinking tea while the younger Bedouin folks sought out signal for their mobile phones so they could text each other. We compared ring tones - it was pretty fun actually.
When the sun went down, we put on the fleece but it really was not very cold. We slept in a large tent in sleeping bags. Some of our group slept outside under the stars.
There was even a flush toilet which was very extravagant for camping.
In the morning the camel guy came and we all rode the camels. You will enjoy it.

Oh dear!
I am ashamed to say that I did not write a trip report. But I must write one as this experience was beyond wonderful.
And I have traveled to many countries on many continents...Jordan was an unexpected highlight.
This was a 9 day bike trip from the north down to Aqaba.
We went with Exodus:www.exodus.co.uk
They were fabulous.
Off to write the report...

We are two mature couples who are going on a tour with Atlas Tours. I gave them my itinerary and they gave us a custom made tour for a very good price. If they deliver what is on paper, it will be fantastic.
