Select participants and date
The driver brakes on the shoulder and the silence of the desert folds back into conversation — a wind that has been erasing tracks for millennia, a sky so open it seems to push the horizon away. Over four days you move through Jordan like a careful reader moving through chapters: Roman columns that still remember empire, Byzantine mosaics that hold whole maps in tile, the carved rose façade of Petra that commands a hush, and Wadi Rum’s dune-carved amphitheaters where the sun writes its name in color.

Adventure Tips
Start early in Petra
Begin your Petra day at first light to avoid midday heat and crowds; the walk to the major sites can take 3–4 hours with steep sections.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Bottled water is provided, but carry a 1–2L refillable bottle and electrolytes for long, hot days between stops.
Cash for small purchases and tips
Carry Jordanian dinars for local vendors, restrooms, and tipping drivers or guides where admission isn’t included.
Layer for desert nights
Desert camps cool rapidly after sunset; pack a light insulating layer even in summer conditions.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Desert foxes occasionally seen at dusk in Wadi Rum

History
The route spans Roman (Jerash), Byzantine (Madaba mosaics), Crusader and Ayyubid (Ajloun, Shobak) eras and the Nabataean civilization that created Petra.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths in Petra and Wadi Rum; local guides and camps increasingly follow low-impact practices—avoid single-use plastics and respect fragile archaeological sites.
