Select participants and date
You step out of Queen Alia International’s arrival hall into dry air that smells faintly of thyme and diesel; a driver holds a sign with your name, and the road to the city opens like a promise. Over six days you’ll trade Amman’s ochre hills for the blue lacquer of the Dead Sea, the columned avenues of Jerash and the red rock of Petra, finishing beneath the vast, wind-sculpted plates of Wadi Rum. This itinerary moves at a traveler’s pace—hotel beds most nights, a VIP tent in the desert, and an English-speaking driver who knows every safe road and quiet viewpoint.

Adventure Tips
Start Petra at dawn
Enter the Siq before mid-morning to avoid crowds and heat—walking from the Visitor Centre to the Treasury is about 1.2 km with uneven footing.
Float safely in the Dead Sea
Rinse off before and after, avoid shaving 24 hours prior, and don’t submerge your head—salt is extremely concentrated.
Layer for desert temperature swings
Wadi Rum can be hot by day and drop sharply at night—bring a warm mid-layer for camp dinners.
Carry local currency
Have some Jordanian dinar for small purchases, tips, and market snacks; cards aren’t accepted everywhere.
