🏜️ “Magical Desert Escape at Hasan Zawaideh Camp” 🌌
Staying at Hasan Zawaideh Camp in Wadi Rum was one of the most unforgettable travel experiences I’ve ever had. The camp perfectly blends comfort with the raw beauty of the desert, making it a truly magical getaway.
✨ The tent was clean, cozy, and surprisingly comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing night under the stars. At night, the view of the starry desert sky was absolutely breathtaking — something you can’t experience in the city.
🍽️ Dinner and breakfast were delicious, served in a warm, communal setting with traditional Jordanian hospitality. Sharing a meal by the fire while listening to local music made the experience even more special.
🚙 We also joined a desert tour arranged by the camp, which took us across Wadi Rum’s stunning landscapes — red sand dunes, rock formations, and panoramic views that felt like stepping into another world.
Most importantly, the staff were so kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel like family rather than just guests.

This time I was mainly looked after by Zid, and all the staff, including him, were very kind.
The location was great, there was plenty of delicious food, and I had a fulfilling trip.
If you're coming to Wadi Rum, Jordan, I highly recommend this place!
An interesting experience, take a pickup truck into the desert, light a bonfire to see the stars at night. I thought this environment would be more difficult. The surprise was: the room was clean and clean, the hot water was sufficient, the bed was very comfortable to sleep, and it was not noisy at night. It also included dinner that day and breakfast the next day. The only thing to note is that there is no net.
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 really enjoyed our stay at UFO Luxotel. One thing to note is that the hotel is not within the Wadi Rum protected area, so it is about 5 minutes drive to the main gate. The hotel does have some partnership with the local bedouins who can take you on a desert or camel tour, but it is better to liaise with the local bedouin on your own. The bubble tents are really nice, made of plastic, comes with a standing shower, washbasin and a comfortable bed. There is air conditioning inside the tent. Outside the tent, there is a hammock and some chairs. At night, the weather in the desert can get quite cold so we enjoyed the special fur blanket provided in the room. There was a stargazing photography course but we did not sign up for it. The food was absolutely delicious, from the dinner with local dishes and underground baked lamb, to the breakfast buffet. Since our tent was quite far from the entrance, there was a buggy to send us to our room. But on the day of the checkout, after calling reception, the buggy took a bit longer than expected. Overall we enjoyed our stay in the desert in these luxury tents, and the price was affordable.
Our stay at Shaheen Camp was an incredible experience, even though we were transferred to Hasan Zawaideh Camp due to the low season. Since the camps are next to each other, and likely have the same owners, the transition was seamless, and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival.
From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The staff made sure we felt at home, offering delicious tea, traditional dance, and live music, creating a truly immersive Bedouin experience. The variety of tours and activities they provided allowed us to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Wadi Rum in an unforgettable way.
The food was outstanding—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every meal felt like a special occasion, adding to the magic of our stay.
The only minor point for improvement was the bed setup, as it was made up of two single beds combined, but honestly, this was such a small detail compared to the overall incredible experience we had.
If you’re looking for a welcoming, authentic, and memorable stay in Wadi Rum, I highly recommend Shaheen and Hasan Zawaideh Camp. I would gladly return for another unforgettable adventure!
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
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!
I recently experienced an unforgettable Bedouin traditional trip in Mohammed Mutlak Camp , Jordan. This stay really made me feel the hospitality and unique culture of the Bedouin people.
The tents are comfortable and clean, and the night can be enjoyed in the tranquil desert with unparalleled starry sky. The food here is delicious and I was impressed by the traditional Bedouin barbecue (Zarb). Daytime jeep tours, camel rides and dunes sandboarding are exciting, while nighttime bonfires, tea and stories immerse themselves in real desert life.
The staff was very friendly, took care of everything and communicated fluently in English, making the whole trip smoother. If you want a real Bedouin experience, I highly recommend Mohammed Mutlak Camp!

GGuest UserWe 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.
GGuest UserThe Bedouin Garden Village is about 15 minutes drive from Aqaba, close to the Berenice Beach Club. The sea and beach are only 150 meters away. In the nearest area you will find a few more Guesthouses with restaurants and a restaurant/a bathroom on the beach. The beach itself has free sunscreens.
The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere in the Garden Village is very quiet and relaxed. The atmosphere offers many shaded places that invite to stay and relax in the shadow, but partly you could wash or clean the bedouin seats. It was not dirty, but also not 100% clean.
The Bedouin Garden Village is a diving school with friendly, fun, but also competent staff and good equipment. The diving courses were very relaxed and yet interesting, even for experienced dives.
The breakfast was unfortunately relatively simple: there were fladbread, fresh cheeses (however they were long in the heat), marmelade and a table with hummus, eggs, beans, some fruit and some vegetables. It was still sad. The lunch and evening card is not too extensive: there is a lot of frozen (fish, hamburger, calamari), a few salads and a few chicken courts. We can't get sad, it doesn't taste badly, but not particularly ”wow” - given the distant location, the choice of restaurants on the ground is limited.
The rooms were simple but still functionally furnished with air conditioning and refrigerator.
All in all a great accommodation to turn off for a few days in a quiet environment.
