Embark on an extraordinary journey through Jordan that combines the country's most breathtaking historical sites with the magic of a celestial spectacle. This unique "Nabatean Nights & Perseid Meteor Shower" tour is meticulously planned each year to ensure you are in the heart of the Wadi Rum desert during the peak activity of the stunning Perseid meteor shower. It offers a rare opportunity to experitheence Jordan's timeless wonders alongside an unforgettable night under a canopy of shooting stars, timed perfectly for optimal viewing.
Your adventure covers Jordan's essential highlights, allowing you to step back in time as you explore the magnificent rock-carved city of Petra, an ancient Nabatean marvel. You'll also have the chance to experience the unique sensation of floating effortlessly in the hyper-saline waters of the Dead Sea at the lowest point on Earth. The itinerary balances these iconic experiences with discovering Jordan's rich history and dramatic landscapes as you travel through the kingdom.
The true crescendo of the tour unfolds in the vast, silent beauty of Wadi Rum. After exploring its majestic sandstone mountains and sweeping red dunes by jeep, you'll prepare for the night's main event. Staying in a Bedouin camp chosen for its remoteness and minimal light pollution, you'll be perfectly positioned to witness the Perseid meteor shower. Imagine lying back on the desert sands, gazing up at the clear night sky as meteors blaze trails overhead – a truly magical experience deliberately scheduled as the tour's centrepiece.
The standard tour price is based on comfortable 4-star hotels, however, an upgrade to superior grade hotels is also available, which enhances the accommodation used in Amman, Petra and the Dead Sea while the unique stay in Wadi Rum remains consistent across both options.
