Day 1 Wadi Rum, Wadi Rum, Al Aqabah Governorate

You will leave Wadi Rum in the morning to drive south to the Nabatean Red Rose City of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, for a classic visit. As you travel, gaze at the desert landscapes and hear tales of Jordan’s history. Hewn into a sandstone valley carved by the Nabataean people more than 2,000 years ago, this ancient rose-red rock city located 245 kilometers from Amman at the crossroads of age-old trading routes, to dominate ancient Arabia.

Day 1 Petra - Wadi Musa, Petra - Wadi Musa, Ma'an Governorate

Reach Petra main site to learn more about its magnificent history. On arrival, leave your vehicle, and enjoy a 2-hour tour of this UNESCO Heritage listed wonder with a local guide. First, walk through the famous “Siq”, a narrow path of 1.2 kilometers; rock fissure that was once the main entrance to the city, and marvel at your first glimpse of the hauntingly beautiful Treasury “Al - Khazneh” as the canyon suddenly opens up. Admire this rose-pink masterpiece, originally built to house priceless treasures and capture it on camera.. Then, proceed through the widening canyon to witness other monuments such as the 3,000-seater Theater, the Royal Tombs, and the Byzantine Church. As you explore, listen as your guide describes how the Nabateans sculpted the buildings, and learn how they mastered the harsh desert conditions to make their lives here.

Day 1 Petra - Wadi Musa, Petra - Wadi Musa, Ma'an Governorate

After around two hours of exploring, enjoy free time. If time permits you can climb up the Monastery on your own or the High Place of Sacrifice: a clifftop altar that was once used for animal sacrifices and other ceremonies.

Day 1 Little Petra, Petra - Wadi Musa Jordan

Free time to visit The Petra Museum; if there is time, then rejoin your vehicle and driver. Pass by Little Petra, a small rocky valley with carvings, that archaeologists believe acted as the Nabatean’s caravan before heading to the main city and as an accommodation stop for the traders who traveled through the city. Then, journey back to Wadi Rum, where your day trip ends with your camp drop off.

Please wear comfortable shoes and bring a sunhat for this unforgettable adventure. Come and explore one of the world’s wonders of architectural engineering combined with the ingenuity of carving for an unforgettable adventure just like that of Indiana Jones and the Transformers!

My recent adventure through Jordan was a fantastic blend of culture and natural beauty. The highlights for me included wandering among the well-preserved columns of Jerash, where I felt transported back in time, and the awe-inspiring sight of Petra’s Treasury emerging from the rocks. The accommodations provided were comfortable and offered a taste of local hospitality, particularly in Wadi Rum, where sleeping under the stars was simply magical. I appreciated the private tour aspect, which allowed me to soak in each destination at my own pace. However, I found the guide’s explanations could sometimes be a bit rushed, leaving me wanting to delve deeper into the history. Overall, it was an enriching journey through some of Jordan’s best-kept secrets that I would recommend to anyone seeking a unique travel experience. Just be prepared for some long travel days, but the sights are well worth it.

Exploring the ancient ruins of Jerash was a highlight for us, especially with the knowledgeable guide who brought the history to life. Our family loved the unique experience of camping under the stars in Wadi Rum, though we found the food options a bit limited at times. As we wandered through the majestic sights of Petra, we felt like we were uncovering the secrets of Jordan together, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
