In the heart of Wadi Rum’s majestic desert, stands the incredible Sun City Camp offering serenity and spiritual soothing experience of living in the desert and enjoying the simple Bedouin life of the valley with its unmatched authentic charm and beauty. Such an experience is featured through variety of high standard services, amenities, and accommodation options to choose from alongside a wide range of relaxing and adventurous recreational activities. The camp is located in Wadi Rum about 60 km from Aqaba city and 313 km from Amman. Upon arriving, guests will be welcomed with fresh juice and scented refreshing face towels that will initiate the amazing journey in the desert.

Guests can choose from any of their panoramic mountain view tents whether it is the traditional Bedouin tents (thirty tents), the royal tents (eight suites), family suites (two suites) or their unique signature Martian Domes (twenty rooms). The camp is equipped with a large reception tent with Wi-Fi along with the dining area where guests are offered freshly cooked meals in buffet style with variety of dishes to choose from.

At Sun City Camp, you can enjoy a wide range of adventurous, daring, and fun activities that suit you or simply choose to stop the watch and spend the day with nothing but serenity and the wind. You can also enjoy the one of a kind opportunity to connect with the universe through sunrise or sunset yoga or simply gaze at the stars, through the futuristic domes of the valley that take you millions of miles away from earth!

The Sun City camp signature Martian Domes offer the guests the unique experience of combined luxury and authenticity. Sun City Camp is the first in the region to offer such domes that will allow you to gaze at the magnificent moon and stars from your own comfortable bed.

If you are with a group of friends or a family traveling with younger children and would rather have the children close to you, the Family Suites are the ultimate desert retreat where you can enjoy your privacy and yet rest assured that the children are safe. The Family Suite offers a king size bed in one of the rooms and another room with twin beds, a bathroom, a living room with sofa bed and a terrace.

The Standard Tent is an ultimate choice for guests who seek an accommodation that combines the distinctive Bedouin style with traditional simple comfort.

For guests who would like to enjoy the simple and authentic desert experience as close to the habitat of Bedouins and get a glimpse of their lives, the Royal Tent offers a unique heritage experience that will take you back in time to the indigenous ethnic Bedouin life. The Royal Tent features a comfortable bedroom, a bathroom, a Majlis area (living room) and a terrace.

Sun City Camp takes pride in offering guests the generous hospitality that is a trait of the indigenous Bedouins. After a full day at the desert, guests are invited to enjoy a dinner experiencing Arabia at its glory. Enjoy a taste of the mysterious slightly spiced Middle Eastern cuisines and live entertainment that is spontaneously initiated like it was hundreds of years ago with a sound of Oud or Rababah (mini violin). Many guests can’t help but join the traditional folklore dances, having a good time and enjoying the rhythm of Arabia.

One of their signature dishes, and the most popular meal in Wadi Rum, is “Zarb” – a whole Lamb cooked under the sands of the desert which is always a main part of the regular dinner menu in Sun City Camp.

In addition to the buffet menu that is rich with Arabic mezza, salads and a variety of dishes, Sun City camp is delighted to especially prepare one of the exquisite traditional Jordanian dishes such as Mansaf and Maqlobeh upon request. After all, a visit to Jordan is never complete without tasting these two traditional dishes.

After a delicious meal, guests are served their choice of coffee, tea, soft drinks, fresh juice, Shisha (Argileh) while being entertained with traditional folklore dance. The show is meant to be brief in order to maintain the peacefulness and serenity of the desert.
