Hotels near Mount Lamlam, Quairah District

Shell Luxury Camp is an idyllic oasis set against an otherwise harsh desert landscape. Waking up to sunrise right outside the camp is genuinely breathtaking. The cosy “shell” accommodation delivers a true five-star experience, with exceptionally comfortable bed linens. Service was prompt, staff were attentive, warm, and professional. Hot water availability is limited to specific time frames and was only lukewarm during winter. To their credit, the front desk did remind guests, which helped manage expectations. Although the camp is relatively new, signs of wear and tear are already visible. Broken floor tiles and damaged toilet fixtures detract from the overall experience and should be addressed promptly to maintain the camp’s luxury positioning. The campsite would benefit from improved upkeep. Contrary to the hotel description, reaching the campsite directly by private car is not always possible, especially when roads are covered with sand. Hotel transfer is required. To avoid miscommunication, where language barriers may exist, it would be helpful for the camp to request guests’ vehicle plate number, colour, and model in advance, in addition to sharing live location. The room rate is undeniably steep, but overall, I had a memorable and luxurious desert stay at Shell Luxury Camp.

We stayed here as a family in a bubble tent during our trip to Wadi Rum, and overall we had a very positive experience. The owner, Eid, was genuinely attentive from the very beginning. Shortly after we made the reservation, he contacted us by email and stayed in touch throughout the process. He truly does his best at every stage to make sure his guests are comfortable and satisfied. We really appreciated that level of care and communication. The location of the camp is beautiful and peaceful. Even though the weather was partly cloudy, we were still able to see the stars at night, which was very special. Dinner was excellent, with a wide variety of dishes. The vegetable options were especially delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We also joined a jeep desert tour, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay. Our guide (I unfortunately forgot his name) was friendly and made the experience both enjoyable and comfortable. Traveling with two children, we felt safe, relaxed, and well taken care of throughout our stay. I would happily recommend this camp to other families visiting Wadi Rum.

From the moment I stepped in I was greeted with so much warmth and mind blowing hospitality . Every staff member was available with great service and gave me lots of help in planning my activities with me and giving me honest feedback . The ambiance and the food was divine .Dinner was zarb with display and a full fledge buffet .There was hilarious surprise during dinner which added that extra addition to my memories . Haytham,fariz and mahmood were super courteous and attentive to feedback .the bubble tent was super comfortable . Star gazing was mesmerising . excellent experience !

It was absolutely a fabulous stay! The camp's location — being slightly away from the main camp area gave me a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquility. The facilities are impressively new and well-maintained, and it is lovely to know that this is a family-run business that also offers tours — it adds such a personal and authentic touch to the whole experience. Special thanks to Adel – for the warm hospitality and care Bilal – for being an outstanding guide Chef Ali – for the delicious food that made the stay even more memorable

The camp is a beautiful camp and the bubble tent was amazing. Delicious food and a fun atmosphere. Beautiful scenery around. But the downside for me was getting in and out of the camp. It was a very bad experience getting there and leaving I was charged a very expensive fee to go to the visitors center. So if you are solo and trying to get there on your own expect high fees!

The camp is located outside of the official Wadi Rum desert, but easy to reach from the main road. Tent: clean and spacious, had everything I needed. Hot shower was amazing. It was clean, as clean as things can be in a desert. I just had one mosquito in the tent, but might be more in other months - be prepared. Dinner: absolutely amazing. A lot of great dishes, live music, separate desert. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Breakfast: not as amazing as dinner, but still absolutely sufficient. Tour: Had a tour on the first day with another company - it was ok, but mostly covered the main spots - many other people there. On the second day booked a tour with the hotel directly - price was fair and the spots much better than the day before inside Wadi Rum. More spectacular and almost no people. Absolutely amazing. Service: organized transport to the visitor center to catch my bus to Amman and made a fair deal together with the tour. So actually no need to get into Wadi Rum village, you can get better spots directly from the camp. The pictures are all from the second tour organized by the camp.

In general, I recommend this place. This hotel is designed for travelers with a rented car. Before checking in, contact the staff. They will give you a phone number. I contacted them via WhatsApp. We were told where to come and leave our car, it was a gas station, and then they took us away in their Toyota Hilux. When checking in, we were offered a package of services: a 4-hour jeep tour of the Wadi Rum desert, unlimited dinner but drinks are paid, and a night excursion to the desert with lying on the sand, tea and hookah. Everything costs 200 JD for two. We did not bargain, everything suited us. There is also an excellent breakfast with drinks included in the price of accommodation. We were given room M5, this is a bungalow on the 1st line. The view from the window is gorgeous. There is a good bathroom, towels and toiletries. Two single beds, a balcony. Air conditioning. No TV. A table and two chairs. WIFI is only in the restaurant area.

Absolutely loved the stay at Luxotel. From the moment you srrive till you leave, you’re taken care of by a pleasant group of staff. The rooms are clean and nice and words can’t express how unreal the place is. Secluded and you don’t get wifi in the room which keeps you away from the busy life. The food at the restaurant is amazing with a vast array of delectable foods. I thoroughly enjoy the stay. Also, please arrange the 4 hour tour for 70 JOD with the hotel. We had a sunset tour and it was by far the best thing I’ve done today. Loved the stay and the staff and so thankful for making the stay unreal.

Amazing service and a wonderful stay! Breakfast and dinner are included, and the food was delicious. The location is beautiful, surrounded by the stunning desert scenery of Wadi Rum. The room was very clean and well equipped with air conditioning and a heater, which made the stay very comfortable. Transportation was also very convenient — the camp provides pick-up and drop-off from Wadi Rum / Jett Bus Station, just contact them in advance. If I visit Wadi Rum again, I will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Disappointing experience — seclusion, limited services, and hidden costs. To be honest, my stay in Wadi Rum was quite disappointing. Almost everything had an additional fee or charge attached, which felt frustrating and unnecessary. The location itself is very secluded, about a 20-minute drive from the main area, and you’re reliant on the hotel’s scheduled shuttle times. This didn’t align with my plans, and I had to arrange an unsanctioned jeep to leave on time. The bubble tent itself was underwhelming. In the mornings, they cover it due to the heat, which defeats the main appeal — you can’t really enjoy the sunrise or take photos. Food options were limited, and the activities available were few. I also fell ill on the second day for reasons I couldn’t pinpoint, which left me out of commission for 48 hours. Service overall felt a bit transactional, with an element of greed, which didn’t sit well with me. While Wadi Rum itself is undeniably beautiful, the hotel experience here fell far short of expectations.
