About the Resort
A luxury Wadi Rum desert camp
Sun City Camp is a luxury desert glamping camp in Wadi Rum’s protected UNESCO desert — the originator of the Martian Dome, with transparent-roof bubble domes for in-bed stargazing alongside Bedouin-style and Royal tents. Around sixty air-conditioned, en-suite units pair with a nightly traditional Zarb feast cooked in a sand oven, jeep desert tours with Bedouin guides and camel rides. The whole stay is the experience, usually a single night within a Jordan tour.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Sun City Camp. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”
