Select participants and date
You step out of Queen Alia into dry, bright air and the city exhales around you—drivers weaving through low hills, laundry flapping from flat roofs, minarets sketching the skyline. Your guide holds a card with your name, a compact promise of logistics; beyond that promise lies six days of geological theatre, ancient cities, and desert that moves like a slow tide.

Adventure Tips
Start Petra at dawn
Enter the Siq early to see the Treasury bathed in soft light and avoid midday crowds and heat.
Bring a sturdy pair of shoes
Petra and Wadi Rum involve uneven stone steps and rocky desert terrain—closed-toe hiking shoes improve comfort and safety.
Carry a refillable water bottle
Bottled water is provided but having a 1–2L bottle available helps between stops and reduces plastic waste.
Plan transit buffer times
Roads are good but traffic and site queues can add delays—allow extra time between major stops to keep the day relaxed.

History
Jordan’s landscape is a crossroads of empires—Roman Jerash, Byzantine mosaics in Madaba, Nabatean Petra and Ottoman-era Amman layers tell a continuous trade-route story.
Conservation
Water scarcity shapes conservation priorities around the Dead Sea; Wadi Rum conservation is increasingly tied to community-based tourism and Bedouin stewardship.
