6-Day Private Luxury Tour of Jordan: Petra, Wadi Rum & the Dead Sea
Select participants and date
You step out of Queen Alia International beneath a pale desert sky and the air smells faintly of spice and diesel — the beginning of six days that move from urban rooftops to salt flats and wind-swept sandstone. A private driver slides the door shut; the tour’s rhythm is deliberate: morning light in Amman, midday mosaics in Madaba, an afternoon that pushes toward the pink cliffs of Petra, then a night under Wadi Rum's outré stars.

Adventure Tips
Buy a Jordan Pass
If you plan to visit Petra and many archaeological sites, purchase the Jordan Pass in advance to cover entry fees and skip ticket lines.
Bring a lightweight daypack
Carry 2–3 liters of water, sunscreen, and a thin wind layer for sudden temperature changes between sun and evening.
Wear sturdy footwear
Petra and Wadi Rum involve uneven steps and sandy stretches—supportive trail shoes are better than sandals.
Protect your skin at the Dead Sea
Rinse off immediately after floating and avoid shaving before entering — salt will irritate fresh cuts.
