Private Tour: Explore Petra & Wadi Rum Desert Adventure from Aqaba

Start your Jordan experience with transfer from your hotel in Aqaba, to the unique desert of Wadi Rum. Bedouin dinner and overnight in a camp of your choice.

Start your day with a Bedouin breakfast, and visit the spectacular desert wilderness of Wadi Rum. Sometimes known as the “Valley of the Moon” for its lunar-like landscapes, this protected region of mountains, dunes, and canyons was where T.E. Lawrence, known as “Lawrence of Arabia” fought alongside the Bedouin locals in World War I. The locals have named many of the sites in Wadi Rum after Lawrence and numerous scenes from the iconic movie, Lawrence of Arabia, were filmed on location here. Besides, the recent well-known movie The Martian, was also filmed by Hollywood super star Matt Damon; as well as Star Wars: The Rise of Sky Walker. Enjoy an exhilarating 2-hour trip by 4x4 local jeep through this majestic place to immerse yourself in its serene beauty and ever-changing colors. Rumble along desert valleys, through narrow gorges, past red dunes and mountains, and stop to take photos along the way. Finish your day by relaxing on your journey to Petra, the ancient rock city. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

Your visit to Jordan tour finishes after your hotel breakfast and check out for a classic unforgettable visit of Petra. Enjoy a 2-hour tour of Nabatean city and UNESCO World Heritage site with a local guide. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Petra was carved into a sandstone gorge more than 2,000 years ago to dominate the trading routes of ancient Arabia and is rightly regarded as the jewel in the crown of Jordan’s historic sites. Walk along the narrow “Siq”, the high-walled fissure in the rocks that winds into the heart of the city. Then, stop in your tracks at your first breathtaking glimpse of the Treasury, known locally as “El-Khazneh” - Petra’s stellar sight. Wonder at its intricate façade and hear how movies such as Indiana Jones, the Transformers, and the Last Crusade were filmed here. See Petra’s ornate tombs cut into the rock face, and admire the stunning theater that once sat 3,000 spectators. As you walk, visit the Byzantine church. Climb either the Monastery or the High Place of Sacrifice, if time permits. Free time to visit the Petra Museum; if there is time. After your walking tour and free time for lunch finishes, relax on your trip back to your Aqaba hotel booked on your own.
