Over three days the land here will push and soothe you: sandstone cliffs that seem to hold centuries of wind, desert plains that dare you to slow down, and the Dead Sea that obligingly holds you afloat.

Get the Jordan Pass
Purchase the Jordan Pass before arrival to cover Petra entry and avoid long queues; it often saves money on single-site tickets.
Start early in Petra
Begin your Petra visit at first light to avoid crowds and midday heat—plan for at least 3 hours on foot to see the Treasury and main sites.
Protect gear from Dead Sea salt
Rinse electronics and camera gear immediately after Dead Sea exposure and avoid letting metal items soak in the water.
Carry cash for tips and local purchases
ATMs are available in larger towns but smaller vendors, Bedouin camps, and remote stops prefer cash—carry Jordanian dinar for convenience.
Sturdy trail shoes
Support and traction for Petra’s cobbled paths, stair sections and rocky Wadi Rum terrain.
Sun protection (hat, SPF 30+, sunglasses)
Strong Jordanian sun requires high-SPF protection and a wide-brim hat for daytime touring.

Swimwear & quick-dry towel
