Description
Discover the highlights of Jordan on a multi-day journey combining ancient history, breathtaking desert landscapes, and authentic Bedouin hospitality.
The tour begins with an early departure from Jerusalem and a border crossing at the Allenby Bridge. From there, we travel south to the remarkable desert of Wadi Rum. After lunch at a local restaurant, enjoy an exciting 4×4 Jeep tour through this dramatic landscape of red sand dunes, towering rock formations, and wide open valleys.
In the afternoon, we continue toward Petra, where you will spend the night at a traditional Bedouin campsite. Enjoy a freshly prepared dinner and relax under the desert sky, with time to unwind by the bonfire and experience the quiet beauty of the surroundings.
The next day is dedicated to exploring Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Join a guided tour through the famous Siq to the iconic Treasury, while learning about the Nabataean civilization that once thrived here. After lunch, enjoy free time to explore Petra independently, whether hiking toward the Monastery or discovering hidden corners of the ancient city, before returning to the camp for dinner and overnight.
On the final day, we travel north to Madaba to visit its famous mosaic map, followed by a stop at Mount Nebo, offering panoramic views over the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. After lunch, we return to the Allenby Bridge and continue back to Jerusalem in the evening.
