3-Night Tour of Petra, Wadi Rum, and Dead Sea in Jordan

1. Petra - Wadi Musa

Enjoy a hotel pickup after breakfast, and then start your Petra sightseeing tour with a visit to the “Siq”, the city’s most dramatic natural feature. Acting as an entrance corridor, the 1-mile (1.5 KM) gorge – lined by looming sandstone cliffs leads to the center of the city. Pass its final bend and come face-to-face with Petra’s crowning glory the magnificent Treasury, called locally “El-Khazneh”, the building is famous for its colonnaded Hellenistic façade, carved into the cliff face to dramatic effect. Pose for photos in front of the monument, and then continue your tour of town, learning about the Nabataeans who built the city. Visit Petra Church – a beautiful structure, re-designed by the Byzantines and then walk around the Royal Tombs, a vast burial site just above the valley floor. Take a look inside and visit the amphitheater and imagine it in its heyday when some 3,000 people sat inside it.

2. Wadi Rum

Free time to climb the Monastery or The High Place of Sacrifice, if time permits. You can also visit the Petra Museum; if there is time. After a break for lunch (at your own expense), return to your vehicle and travel further south to Wadi Rum, the vast desert where scenes from Lawrence of Arabia, The Martian, as well as other movies were filmed like the recent Star Wars: The Rise of Sky Walker. Your destination is a Bedouin camp site in the middle of the desert, where you will spend the night enjoying dinner, and sleeping in your own private tent in Wadi Rum. 

1. Wadi Rum

After breakfast, hop inside your local 4x4 jeep, and then explore Wadi Rum in a caravan convoy, traveling over red-sand dunes and around the granite mountains that punctuate the desert landscape. After your 2-hour tour of the desert, return to the camp site to collect your bags and then leave Wadi Rum to drive to the Dead Sea.

2. Dead Sea Region

Drive to the Dead Sea, the world’s first natural spa and the lowest point on earth. Check in at the hotel, dinner and overnight. If time permits you can enjoy the hotel’s pool and beach facilities to swim on that day.

1. Dead Sea Region

Your visit to Jordan tour finishes after your hotel breakfast and free time at the Dead Sea to enjoy the hotel facilities: beach and pool for swimming, and you may use the spa at your own personal expense. The Dead Sea, sitting at 1,412 feet (430 meters) below sea level. This glittering inland sea contains extraordinarily high levels of salt and minerals, and offers up an incredible experience: the chance to float rather than swim! Wade in to experience a short floating session from the beach: it’s an unforgettable sensation. 

2. Amman Queen Alia International Airport 

Check out of your hotel and relax on a convenient airport drop-off at Amman Queen Alia International Airport at a time to fit your flight departure. (We recommend late flight departure).
