About this trip
Two days across the border in Jordan, built around one big thing: Petra. You get a proper look at the ancient city carved into rock, not just a rushed photo stop.
Between the ruins there's desert scenery, some historical sites in Madaba, and a night spent under open sky at a Bedouin campsite, which is a good contrast to the ruins and museums.
It's a short, guided trip rather than an expedition, so expect a fairly packed schedule fitted into 48 hours.
What you'll do
- Explore the ancient city of Petra with a guide
- Cross from Israel into Jordan's desert landscapes
- Visit historical sites in Madaba
- Overnight at a Bedouin campsite under the desert sky
- Fast-paced given it's only two days, with a border crossing built in
- Fully guided throughout, so little is left for you to plan
- Suited to families and those short on time who still want to see Petra properly
Worth it if you get Laith, Mahdi, or Sam as your guide. Think twice if guide quality varies wildly and you value unrushed site time.
- Several guides (Laith, Mahdi, Sam) are genuinely knowledgeable, engaging, and kind; they elevate the whole experience significantly.
- Bedouin camp exceeded expectations; meals are generous, tasty, and bigger than anticipated; strong food offering overall.
- Some guides rush you through sites despite advertised times; Petra promised 5-6 hours, one group got only 4 hours.
- Bus air conditioning in Jordan is poor; not a dealbreaker but noticeable discomfort on longer driving days.
