Sun City Camp: Pioneer of the Martian Domes
Sun City Camp is one of the most established and well known camps in Wadi Rum, widely recognized as the pioneer of the iconic Martian Domes that have since become synonymous with the Wadi Rum desert experience. Founded over a decade ago, the camp was the first to introduce geodesic dome accommodations to the desert, setting the standard for what is now one of the most sought after glamping experiences in the Middle East. The camp sits within the Wadi Rum landscape, surrounded by dramatic sandstone mountains and the vast red sand desert that has served as the backdrop for Hollywood films including The Martian, Dune, and Lawrence of Arabia.
With over 60 rooms across five distinct accommodation types, Sun City Camp caters to a wide range of travelers, from couples seeking a romantic escape in the signature Martian Domes to families who need spacious multi room suites. All accommodations feature private en suite bathrooms, individual air conditioning and heating, hot water showers, and premium bath amenities. Meals are served buffet style in a large communal dining dome, offering a mix of Jordanian specialties and international cuisine. The camp's signature Zarb underground barbecue dinner is a highlight that guests consistently praise. Activities available include guided jeep tours, camel treks, hiking, hot air balloon flights, and stargazing sessions under some of the clearest skies on earth.
