Overview

Float in the salty waters of the Dead Sea, then trade the shoreline for Petra’s stone passages and a night in Wadi Rum. This five-day private Jordan trip starts with an airport welcome in Amman, with an English-speaking driver and private air-conditioned transportation for your party. Your first afternoon leaves room to enjoy the Dead Sea at your own pace. Beyond the shore, Mount Nebo brings the story of Moses into view, while Madaba’s ancient mosaics and Kerak’s Crusader castle give the route to Petra plenty of substance. At Petra, you’ll walk through the Siq toward the Treasury, with your private local English-speaking guide included for 2.5 hours. Ancient tombs and temples make this a day for comfortable walking shoes. The landscape opens into Wadi Rum, where dinner and a Bedouin-style camp stay bring you closer to the desert setting. A two-hour jeep excursion takes you among rock formations and ancient petroglyphs. Back in Amman, the Citadel, Roman Theater, and Rainbow Street round out your visit. Four breakfasts, the camp dinner, and arrival and departure airport transfers are included, giving you a practical way to connect Jordan’s shoreline, archaeological sites, desert, and capital.
