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

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.

This was a great itinerary, although an extra day in Petra would be helpful especially when you are battling heat. To have time to actually use the pool at the 'village' hotel would be incredible. We came in around 10-11pm and were out by 7 am the next morning.
Also, you really need to deal with the 'extra' activities. We came in early to do the Desert Castles add-on and were told we had to wait to talk to our tour director - who we didn't see until 6 pm that evening when it was too late. (when we asked about it before going we were told to talk to our tour director when we got there)
