Memories Aicha Luxury Camp — A Martian Dream Beneath Jordan’s Desert Stars

Where Earth Feels Otherworldly

If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to spend a night on Mars, Memories Aicha Luxury Camp brings that vision vividly to life. Set deep in Jordan’s Wadi Rum desert—a UNESCO World Heritage site often called “The Valley of the Moon”—this extraordinary camp merges cosmic wonder with Bedouin tradition. Here, crimson cliffs rise from endless dunes, and your tent’s transparent dome reveals a canopy of stars so close it feels like you could touch them.

Each dome is a private observatory, offering sweeping desert panoramas by day and infinite galaxies by night. From the golden glow of sunrise to the deep indigo of twilight, this is a place that transcends travel. It’s a communion with silence, space, and time itself.

The Experience

Built to resemble a futuristic Mars colony, Memories Aicha Luxury Camp is where modern design meets ancient earth. Domes and luxury tents are elegantly furnished with oriental décor—rugs, carved woodwork, and warm lighting that pay homage to Jordan’s heritage. Step outside your panoramic suite to the surreal stillness of Wadi Rum’s sandstone landscape, where the only sounds are desert breezes and the occasional call of a passing camel.

Days begin slowly with cardamom coffee and the rising sun spilling gold over red sand. Venture out on a camel trek through the valleys of Um Ishreen or take a 4×4 jeep into the labyrinthine canyons carved by time. As the day fades, gather for a traditional zarb feast—meat and vegetables cooked underground in the Bedouin way—and end the evening beneath a billion stars.

This isn’t just luxury; it’s elemental connection. A stay here bridges the comfort of civilization with the raw beauty of wilderness.

Adventures Nearby

Wadi Rum is a landscape made for explorers. From the camp, guided adventures let you uncover its cinematic terrain—the same backdrop featured in films like The Martian and Lawrence of Arabia.

• Jeep Safaris: Traverse shifting dunes, ancient petroglyphs, and majestic rock bridges. Local Bedouin guides lead half- or full-day tours, each revealing the desert’s vast character and history.

• Camel and Horseback Rides: Move through the desert at a pace as ancient as the sands themselves. Sunset rides are particularly magical, when the sky blazes in copper and rose.

• Hiking and Rock Climbing: Trails around Khazaali Canyon and Burdah Rock Bridge challenge adventurers and reward them with staggering views.

• Stargazing: With zero light pollution, Wadi Rum offers some of the clearest skies on Earth. Your transparent dome turns into a private planetarium—no telescope required.

Extend your Jordan journey by visiting Petra, just a few hours away, to wander its rose-red ruins, or float in the Dead Sea, where mineral-rich waters invite deep relaxation.

Dining Under the Desert Sky

The camp’s Aicha Restaurant offers one of the most unforgettable dining experiences in Wadi Rum. Inside its 700-square-meter tent, guests savor local and international cuisine under soft lantern light. Try the slow-cooked zarb, fresh tabbouleh, and warm Bedouin bread baked in desert sand.
