The Red Sea Astrarium in Amman, Jordan will ‘prominently feature’ an attraction inspired by the 2009 reboot of Star Trek.

The Star Trek themed centre will 'deliver a variety of multi-sensory 23rd-century experiences, culminating with a state-of-the art space-flight adventure.'

The Rubicon Group will lead the design and development of the 184-acre resort, with the Star Trek being ‘creatively developed’ by Paramount Recreation.

Rubicon's CEO Randa S Ayoubi said: “The opportunity to lead the design on such a remarkable project and to work with such world class partners as CBS and Paramount is a dream-come-true for the entire RGH family.”

Liz Kalodner, EVP and general manager of CBS Consumer Product said: "At its core, Star Trek is about bringing worlds together and about a profound hope for the future.

"We are proud to bring such a unique, interactive Star Trek property to this part of the world to be a part of Jordan's future," she added.
