A seven-day circuit through Jordan’s highlights: Amman’s citadel, Roman Jerash, Madaba’s mosaics, Petra’s rock-cut streets, a Bedouin night in Wadi Rum, and floating at the Dead Sea. Expect long walkable days, desert drives, and rich cultural context.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the plane into the dry blue of Amman and the city’s low hills push the desert light into long shadows. Over the next seven days you move from citadel stones and Roman columns in Jerash to the narrow Siq at Petra — a 1.2 km rock-carved corridor that opens on the famous Treasury — then onward into Wadi Rum’s red sand where wind-carved towers study the sky like living geology.

History
The tour stitches together eras: Roman Jerash’s colonnades, Byzantine mosaics in Madaba, and the Nabatean rock-cut city of Petra — all central to Jordan’s long archaeological record.
Conservation
Sites are fragile — stay on paths, avoid removing stones or mosaics, and conserve water in a water-scarce region; support local guides and Bedouin services that practice low-impact tourism.

Start Petra at dawn
Begin the Petra visit as the site opens to avoid heat and crowds; the Siq is 1.2 km and the first views come after a steady walk.
Hydrate between sites
Carry at least 1–2 liters per person for day tours — Jordan’s dry climate and walking add up quickly.
Layer for desert nights
Wadi Rum camps can be warm by day and cold after sunset; bring a light insulated layer.
Respect religious sites
Dress modestly at churches and mosques (shoulders and knees covered) and avoid visits during prayer times.
Sturdy walking shoes
Support and traction for Petra’s cobbled paths and uneven desert tracks.
Sun hat & sunscreen
High UV exposure across open sites and desert requires reliable sun protection.
