Traverse Jordan’s full sweep in seven private days—from Roman Jerash and Umayyad desert castles to the rose-red canyons of Petra and the lunar dunes of Wadi Rum. This guided loop balances cultural sites, geology, and hands-on Bedouin encounters.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the morning shuttle into Amman’s uneven light, the city’s limestone faces warming under a clear Levantine sky. The first day is soft—short drives, a settled hotel—before the route tightens: Roman colonnades at Jerash, the high ridge at Umm Qais watching the Jordan Rift, and low desert roads that lead to Petra’s red canyons and Wadi Rum’s wind-sculpted towers.
