This comprehensive 6-day journey through Jordan offers a captivating blend of ancient history, stunning natural landscapes, and unique cultural experiences. Beginning in the bustling capital, Amman, the tour quickly delves into the past with a visit to the remarkably preserved Roman city of Jerash. Back in Amman, you'll explore key historical sites like the Citadel and Roman Theatre before sampling local flavours during a street food tasting and visiting the sustainability-focused Wild Jordan Centre in the evening.
The adventure continues south along the scenic King's Highway, a route steeped in history, with stops to admire the famous mosaic map in Madaba and take in the panoramic views from Mount Nebo. You'll also explore the impressive Crusader fortress of Shobak Castle before arriving at the gateway to Petra. Here, you have the option to experience the magic of Petra by Night or participate in a hands-on Jordanian cooking class before your full exploration of the 'Rose Red City'.
The following day is dedicated entirely to the wonders of Petra. After a guided tour through the dramatic Siq canyon revealing the iconic Treasury, you'll have ample free time to discover the Monastery, Royal Tombs, and other marvels at your own pace. In the afternoon, the tour transitions to the dramatic desert landscapes of Wadi Rum for an unforgettable overnight stay in a traditional Bedouin camp under the stars, complete with a jeep safari and options for camel rides, hot air ballooning, or even an astronomy session. The final leg takes you from the desert sands to the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea, for an overnight stay. You'll have plenty of time to experience the unique buoyancy of the salty waters, indulge in spa treatments, or perhaps embark on an optional trek through the water-filled canyons of Wadi Mujib before your departure on day six.
The standard tour price is based on comfortable 3 to 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.
The trip was awesome and our tour guide Mohammad was such a wonderful and knowledgeable person. He was very helpful and made sure everyone was comfortable. He also helped me by telling me about places i can go to in my free time in Amman

I rarely write reviews, but my experience deserves recognition. I traveled with a small group of friends, and what impressed us most was the agency’s flexibility and professionalism. We started from Jerusalem and crossed the Allenby Bridge, where JHT’s representative helped us through what could have been a confusing process. From there, everything was smooth sailing. In Madaba and Mount Nebo, we had time to reflect on the biblical history, while our guide shared both historical facts and heartfelt local stories. When we reached Petra, I was blown away—not only by the site itself, but also by the way our guide balanced exploration with rest. He suggested shaded routes, provided cold water, and even pointed out photo opportunities that gave us memories for life. Wadi Rum was another highlight: we had a thrilling 4x4 jeep ride across the desert, followed by a quiet evening of stargazing. The camp was clean and comfortable, with warm Jordanian hospitality. What I appreciated most was the balance between adventure and comfort, history and relaxation. The travel operator understood our needs better than we did ourselves, and that’s the mark of a truly professional travel company.
This was a fantastic holiday. Gave a chance to exercise but also to rest. The hospitality was most courteous, the roads in Jordan excellent, the hotels very comfortable and the food was so typical. Just GREAT!

My friend and I had a fantastic time on our trip. We were met by someone who helped us get the necessary paperwork, traveled to Wadi rum (we slept), stopped at a nice shop where we purchased beautiful scarves, and departed with our Wadi Rum local guide! Our guide was awesome, know all of the best spots to visit and photo spots as well! He was kind and attentive as I got sick at the beginning of our journey. We enjoyed staying at Sun Camp - the staff was so kind to us and generous in their efforts. We were fasting and they prepared food for us that night so we wouldn't be hungry. Our driver drove us to Petra (we slept), checked in to the hotel, and thoroughly enjoyed our guide who was also a local! We definitely benefited from his knowledge and connections! We enjoyed dinner in a cave and the following day our driver made arrangements for us to add an additional stop (for a cost). We were blessed to visit Jesus' baptism site before enjoying the amazing Dead Sea!

Beginning in the bustling capital of Amman, the tour quickly immerses you in local life with a visit to the historic hilltop town of As-Salt. Here, you'll walk the 'Daily Life Trail', exploring its charming Ottoman-era architecture, bustling souqs along Hammam Street, and engaging with local artisans, all while supporting sustainable community tourism.

The adventure proceeds north to the magnificent Roman ruins of Jerash, one of the best-preserved examples of Roman provincial urbanism outside Italy. Back in Amman, you'll delve into the capital's rich past at the Citadel and the impressive Roman Theatre, followed by a delightful street food tasting experience in the lively downtown area. An evening visit to the Wild Jordan Centre highlights the country's commitment to conservation and supporting local communities through ecotourism, offering a relaxing end to a day of exploration.
The tour then heads south along the scenic King's Highway, a route steeped in history, stopping at the mosaic city of Madaba, the biblical viewpoint of Mount Nebo, and the imposing Crusader fortress of Shobak Castle. The highlight for many follows: a full day dedicated to exploring the awe-inspiring Nabataean city of Petra. You'll walk through the narrow Siq to marvel at the Treasury, discover ancient tombs carved into sandstone cliffs, and have free time to climb to viewpoints like the Monastery. The experience shifts dramatically as you travel to the spectacular desert landscapes of Wadi Rum for an overnight stay in a traditional Bedouin camp, complete with a jeep safari through the mesmerising 'jebels' and optional desert activities like camel riding or stargazing.
Concluding the journey, you'll travel to the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea. Here, you'll have ample time to experience the unique sensation of floating effortlessly in the hyper-saline waters and benefit from the mineral-rich mud. An optional trek through the water-filled canyons of nearby Wadi Mujib offers a final thrill for the adventurous. The tour wraps up with free time back in Amman for last-minute exploration or relaxation before your departure, concluding an unforgettable exploration of Jordan's most treasured sites.
The standard tour price is based on comfortable 3 to 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.

Amazing people and company to work with. We had some missed flights and changes, and they were overly accommodating. We loved having a private driver to take us around Jordan. Highly recommend them for your beautiful trip to Jordan.

This 8-day shoestring tour is the perfect introduction to Jordan and includes the county's most notable and famous sights. Our tour will also venture to some less touristy places to give you a real taste of Jordan.
The tour kicks off in the capital city of Amman, beginning with the Baptism Site on the River Jordan and continues along the 'Harmony Trail' through the hillside town of As-Salt. When you are here you can learn about the different religions that are practiced by the residents. The tour will give you a thorough excursion of Amman and you will get to view the remarkable Roman ruins at Jerash. You will then be taken south into the desert and along the picturesque King's Highway, crossing over vast wadis and by quaint villages, olive groves and farmlands.
You will get the chance to see some well preserved mosaics in Madaba, take in the vista over Israel from Mount Nebo and venture into the Crusader Castle in Kerak. Petra is another highlight in Jordan and this UNESCO World Heritage Site is spectacular. You will have a day to meander around the site with a guided tour and some free time to walk up to the Monastery and the High Place of Sacrifice.
The tour will then go further into the desert of Wadi Rum and you can sleep in a Bedouin camp under the craggy cliffs and a starry sky. To enjoy more of the desert, the tour will travel via jeep safari and then head back to Amman, stopping off at the banks of the Dead Sea. You will be able to float on the surface of these famously salty waters.
The last day will be spent outside of Amman, exploring a collection of Jordan's Umayyad 'Desert Castles'. You must remember that these buildings resemble forts and merchant houses on ancient trade routes rather than castles. The tour will then visit the Azraq Wetland Reserve and the Shaumari Wildlife Reserve - two nature reserves positioned in the desert landscape and home to an assortment of wildlife, migratory birds and herds of endangered Arabian oryx.
This Jordan tour is based in comfortable 3-star hotels in Amman and Petra. However, you have the option to upgrade these to the local 4 or 5-star hotel levels if you want a little more comfort. The tour also integrates with our Egypt and Israel tours which start/finish on Sundays, and a flight or overland transfer is available at your request. Extra extensions are also available for more relaxation time or snorkeling and scuba diving at the Red Sea in Aqaba
Private tour option: If our scheduled departure dates don't work for you, or you would prefer not to travel with a group, then we can also run this tour privately for you. Please contact us for more information and prices.
