SunCity Camp: Desert Dreams Among the Red Rocks of Wādī Ramm
Nestled in the awe-inspiring desert of Wādī Ramm in Jordan, SunCity Camp offers an extraordinary retreat where golden sands meet otherworldly silence and ancient rock formations frame the endless sky. Here, the desert isn’t just a backdrop—it’s part of the stay.
Arrival: The Desert Welcomes You
Driving toward Wadi Rum, the landscape unfolds in tones of rust, sandstone, and shadow. You arrive at SunCity Camp and are greeted with fresh fruit juice and cool towels—a small ritual that signals you’re now stepping into time slowed down. The camp’s setting among towering cliffs and lunar-like dunes creates a sense that you’re somewhere at the intersection of Earth and imagination.
Accommodations: From Martian Domes to Bedouin Tents
The choices here reflect the dual spirit of the camp—from luxury glamping to traditional desert stays:
Martian Domes: These geodesic domes perched on wooden platforms give you panoramic desert views right from your bed. Glass-fronted, with modern comfort (A/C, en-suite bath), they merge adventure and comfort.
Grande/ Panoramic Suites: Spacious single-room retreats with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out across the landscape—ideal for soaking in the vista.
Bedouin Tents: For a more grounded experience, these traditional-style tents offer a connection with the desert and heritage of the region.
Every space balances luxury while letting you feel deeply part of the environment—not hidden from it.
Experiences & Desert Rhythm
Here’s how a day might unfold:
Morning: Wake as the light touches the dunes. Grab breakfast and then venture out—camels, 4x4 Jeep rides, maybe even a hot-air balloon for a sweeping view of the rockscape.
Afternoon: Explore rock arches, climb sandstone formations, wander silent paths, or simply sit on your terrace and watch light shift across the desert.
Evening: Return for an authentic Bedouin dining experience—especially Zarb, the underground barbecue pit where meats and vegetables are slow-cooked beneath the sands. As darkness falls, the sky becomes a theatre of stars—unmatched in clarity due to the desert’s isolation.
Why SunCity Camp Leaves a Mark
The architecture and accommodations lend themselves to both comfort and awe—many guests say waking up to that skyline is unforgettable.
It offers a mix of adventure (Jeep rides, hikes, star-filled nights) and stillness—ideal for both active travellers and those seeking calm.
It's set in Wadi Rum, a UNESCO recognized landscape, giving the experience authenticity and scale.
Dining and hospitality here tie you into the local Bedouin culture, adding depth beyond the scenery.
Final Word
SunCity Camp isn’t just “another night in the desert.” It’s a stay where landscape, sky and simplicity combine to create something deeply felt. Whether you choose a Martian Dome or a heritage tent, the desert becomes your room, the stars your ceiling, and the silence your soundtrack.
