About this trip
Nine days across Jordan's main sights, with a local tour leader on hand throughout to explain what you're looking at rather than just show you.
Petra gets two full days rather than the rushed single visit most trips give it, and you'll also take in Jerash's Roman ruins, float in the Dead Sea and spend time by the Red Sea.
The route ends in Wadi Rum, where you sleep at a private Bedouin camp under desert skies with little light pollution — good news if stargazing is your thing.
What you'll do
- Explore Petra over two full days
- Guided tour of the Roman ruins at Jerash
- Float in the Dead Sea
- Time by the Red Sea

- Private rooms throughout, not shared dorms
- Fully guided with a local tour leader for the whole nine days
Worth it if you want concentrated cultural immersion and iconic sites like Petra. Think twice if you expect consistent hotel quality or transparent local operator practices.
- Guides like Michled and Jihad are genuinely excellent—knowledgeable, flexible, eat with the group, and deeply passionate about their culture.
- Hotel standards vary wildly; Amman and Petra are basic or run-down, missing fridges and hot water; breakfast quality is inconsistent across properties.
- Local operator cuts corners: wrong-sized buses, missing seatbelts, water supplies disappearing mid-trip, and alleged financial mishandling of tourist passes.
- Fast-paced itinerary with minimal downtime; includes an demanding 18km Petra walk and desert camping with solar lighting cutting out at midnight.
