6 DAYs ADVENTURE PETRA TO WADI RUM

We will meet you at the airport in Amman and transfer you to your hotel where (depending on your arrival time) you will meet your guide and the rest of your group. For the remainder of the day you will have free time to explore. You can order food at the hotel or why not head out into the city to find a local restaurant. The cuisine in Jordan is superb!

This morning we transfer to Petra and begin our exploration of the Nabataean city carved out of pink sandstone. We will discover the High Place of sacrifice, from where the views over the lower city are extraordinary. We then visit the multiple sculpted facades of the Farasa Valley and explore the royal tombs. In the afternoon a short transfer will take us to our campsite where we can enjoy an evening meal and relax.

We enter the site early this morning through the narrow gorge of the Siq, from which suddenly emerges El Khazneh or “The Treasury”, a colossal tomb carved in red rock. We continue on to the Nabataean theater and the lower city before climbing the 800 steps which lead us to Deir, the monastery, a former Nabataean pilgrimage site. After lunch we hike to the Neolithic village of Beidha and “Little Petra” before returning once more to our camp.

Over the next 3 days we will complete our trek through the Wadi Rum Desert accompanied by our Bedouin guides. A short transfer from Petra in the morning takes us to the village of Wadi Rum where our trek begins. Camping out each night, we will pass through some of the most striking scenery in Jordan, impressive djebels (mountains) with surreal profiles, immense dunes of red sand, deep canyons and stone stairs climbing into the sky. We reach our campsites by passing through natural rocky corridors and relax each night under clear skies filled with stars. This journey is an extremely special experience that you are certain to never forget. Look out for Mushroom Rock and the stone arch for the best photo opportunities!

Our last day of trekking through the desert. We reach the village of Rum in the morning and say farewell to our Bedouin guides before transferring back to Amman. On the way back to the capital we stop for lunch and a swim in the Dead Sea. This is lowest point on earth with an altitude of 430m below sea level! The high salt content in the water makes for an unusual swim. On arrival back in Amman, we can order food at the hotel or head out to explore and find a local restaurant for our final evening
