Best hotels in Wadi Rum

Based in the pristine settings of Wadi Rum desert, there's an abundance of things to do, and sights to see right on your doorstep. From thrilling Jeep tours exploring the Seven Pillars of Wisdom to mesmerizing stargazing adventures under the vast desert sky, the diverse offerings cater to every adventurer.

Wadi Rum looks like nowhere else on Earth, which is why Ridley Scott shot most of The Martian here and barely had to touch up the colour grading. Sun City Camp was one of the first big camps to figure out that the best way to sleep in a landscape like this is inside a glass bubble, and its geodesic Martian Domes still do the job better than most newer copies. Down on the sand, dinner means zarb: goat and chicken buried in a pit oven and dug up, smoking, at the table. Days start with camel rides at sunrise and end with more stars than you knew existed.
