'Adventures on Mars' at desert camp

A dome tent campsite is offering people the chance to experience life on Mars.

The Sun City Camp in Jordan's Wadi Rum desert is designed to be an alien experience on Earth. The resort is set on red-dirt land which looks similar to the Red Planet's surface and is close to where the 2015 movie The Martian was filmed.

Upon arriving at the camp, guests are welcomed with fresh juice and scented refreshing face towels that will initiate the amazing journey in the desert.

At the camp guests can enjoy a wide range of adventurous, daring and fun activities or simply choose to stop the watch and spend the day with nothing but serenity and the wind.

The Martian Domes are spaceshiplike tents with glass walls that provide visitors with panoramic views of the desert and surrounding mountains. Custom-made in Germany for Sun City Camp, the domes cover 40 square meters and can sleep up to four people. They come with a bathroom including a shower, air conditioning (a luxury not usually provided to Wadi Rum campers) and a personal terrace.

The domes were introduced last year as an expansion of Sun City Camp, which opened three years ago. A one-night stay, including breakfast and dinner, costs about $320, although prices vary upon request.
