More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the vehicle at the Dead Sea and the water pulls at your feet—thick, buoyant salt that makes standing feel impossible. By dusk the rose-red sandstone of Petra glows like embers, and before dawn the Wadi Rum desert opens like a quiet ocean of sand and rock, wind shaping arches and dunes overnight.

Start early in Petra
Arrive at the Petra Visitor Centre for the first light — cooler temperatures and softer light make hiking and photography easier.
Hydrate before and during
Carry at least 2–3 liters per day; bottled mineral water is supplied on the vehicle but deserts and sandstone walks dehydrate quickly.
Sturdy shoes for uneven terrain
Worn sandstone, steps carved into rock and loose sand require supportive closed shoes—avoid flip-flops.
Respect Bedouin customs and tipping
Small tips for guides, horse handlers and camp staff are customary; ask your guide about suggested amounts in JD.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Support and traction for Petra’s carved steps, rocky trails and Wadi Rum dunes.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
