About this trip
A week through Jordan covering the big three: Amman, Wadi Rum and Petra, with a stop at the Dead Sea and the mosaics of Madaba along the way.
Days in Wadi Rum mix hiking, sunrise watching and a 4WD ride through the desert, while Petra gets proper time to explore rather than a rushed once-over.
Plenty of free time is built in, so you can shape the trip around what you want to see, with optional activities on offer if you'd rather have things planned out.
What you'll do
- Explore Amman's bars and street food
- Hike and ride 4WD through Wadi Rum, watching the sunrise over the desert
- Explore Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World
- Float in the Dead Sea
- See the mosaics of Madaba
- Involves a fair amount of walking, especially in Petra and Wadi Rum, so a reasonable level of fitness helps
- Little shade at most sites — bring a hat, sun protection and sturdy shoes
- Jordan can be pricey for optional extras, so budget beyond the trip cost
Worth it if you want stellar guides and a genuine taste of Jordan. Think twice if you need lots of pre-trip hand-holding or expect leisurely pacing at each site.
- Guides like Hisham, Osama, and Judeh genuinely elevate the trip—local knowledge, hidden gems, real Jordanian family meals.
- Pre-trip communication is sluggish; expect slow email replies and book your own flights/hotels if you can't wait.
- Seven days feels rushed for Petra and Wadi Rum; you'll cover ground fast if your fitness level is average.
- The itinerary balances structured sightseeing with free time to shape your own days and explore locally.
