A private, 8-day sweep through Jordan’s highlights—from Amman and Jerash to Petra’s rock-cut streets, Wadi Rum’s desert theatre, and a restorative float in the Dead Sea. Luxury hotels and guided transfers make it a relaxed way to see the country’s big sights.

The driver eases away from Queen Alia Airport and Amman’s urban pulse softens into olive groves, then into ochre hills that stretch toward Petra. By the time the tour reaches Wadi Rum, the desert is already at work: wind shaping sandstone into arches and ridges that throw long shadows across red sand. This is not a checklist trip; it’s a staged immersion—ancient cities, deep saltwater, and nights under the desert sky delivered with private transfers and five-star comfort.

History
Petra was the Nabataeans’ trading hub from the 4th century BCE; its rock-cut facades are both burial places and public architecture carved into the Hegde sandstone.
Conservation
Water scarcity and fragile desert soils make responsible tourism vital—use hotel facilities sparingly, follow marked paths in Petra, and avoid collecting rocks or artifacts.
