Itinerary
Our driver will meet you at Queen Alia Airport and transfer you to your hotel in the city centre of Amman.
After breakfast, we will head to Madaba to see the famous mosaics of the Holy Land inside St. George's Church. Then we continue down the road to Amman Beach on the Dead Sea for a few hours of swimming and floating in the salty water before stopping at Shoubak, site of the Crusader castle of Montreal, where you will stay overnight with a Bedouin family.
After breakfast, we depart for Wadi Gweir and drive by jeep through beautiful plains and mountains to Mansura, where a stream flows through the canyon. In spring, when the water level is high, it is possible to swim. Wadi Gweir boasts stunning views, subtropical oases, hanging gardens of ferns, palms and also beautiful dark green mountains, coloured by copper ores. We will walk to the end of the wadi, where our team will pick you up in a jeep and take you to stay the night with a Bedouin family nearby.
After breakfast, we transfer to Wadi Araba for a few hours of hiking in the desert (or a jeep tour if you prefer). Afterwards, we'll continue to Little Petra to visit Siq al Barid and camp in a Bedouin tent overnight.
After breakfast, we enter Petra via a little-known, picturesque wee canyon that brings us out near the Monastery. You will have all day to explore the archaeological site of Petra. In the evening, we'll head to the Snake Monument, where we'll stay the night with a Bedouin family.
A second day for exploring Petra at will. In the afternoon, we exit through the Siq and the main gate and check into a hotel in Wadi musa for the night.
After breakfast, we drive to to Wadi Rum, where we take off on a 2-hour jeep tour in the desert to visit Lawrence Spring, Al Khazali Canyon, old Thaumudic inscriptions, red sand dunes, and a natural rock bridge. We overnight at a private Bedouin camp inside the protected area of Wadi Rum.
A second day dedicated to discovering the desert on foot with a 5-6 hour hike with a Bedouin guide. In the afternoon we'll head back to Amman.
