About this trip
Two days out of Jerusalem to take in Jordan's headline sights, with Petra as the main event. You'll cross into Jordan and spend time among the ancient rock-cut city before moving on to Madaba and other historical stops.
The desert itself is part of the experience — wide open landscapes by day and a night under a genuinely dark sky, with an overnight stay at a Bedouin campsite breaking up the trip.
What you'll do
- Explore the ancient city of Petra
- Visit Madaba and other historical sites
- Overnight at a Bedouin desert campsite
- Take in the desert landscapes of southern Jordan
- Stargaze from the campsite at night
- Starts in Jerusalem and involves crossing the border into Jordan
- Two days is a tight window to cover Petra and Madaba, so expect a packed schedule
Worth it if you're flexible about comfort, keen on history, and want a guide-led experience that punches above its weight. Think twice if you need reliable pre-trip comms or expect Western hotel standards.
- Guides consistently praised as excellent, knowledgeable, and considerate; made the trip unforgettable for multiple travellers.
- Petra itself is genuinely transformative; staying overnight near it beats the crowds and justifies the early starts.
- Bedouin camp is rustic with no hot water in morning showers; don't expect private bathrooms or hotel comfort.
- Staff email responses need improvement; get key logistics (dinner availability, power cuts, transport delays) confirmed directly with guides beforehand.
