8 Days Jordan Tour Package
Overview
Walk through the Siq toward Petra’s Treasury, then trade carved stone for Wadi Rum’s open desert. This eight-day private Jordan route starts in Amman and gives you room for ancient sites, a desert camp stay, and time beside two very different seas. You’ll travel with your own party in a private air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver. In Petra, your private guide brings context to the rock-cut city during 2.5 hours of local guiding.
Amman’s Citadel and Roman Theatre set the scene for the Roman remains of Jerash. Along the route south, the Madaba Mosaic Map, Mt. Nebo, and Karak Castle give you reasons to look beyond Petra alone. Little Petra adds another stop if time permits. Comfortable shoes matter here, especially if you choose Petra’s time-permitting climbs to the Monastery or High Place of Sacrifice.
A two-hour jeep ride takes you among Wadi Rum’s rock formations before an included dinner and a night at a desert camp. Free time in Aqaba lets you explore the Red Sea coastline at your pace. A float in the Dead Sea rounds out the route before your return to Amman, with arrival and departure airport transfers included.
