With so many things to do and see in Jordan, choose our Highlights of Jordan Tour to ensure you don’t go back home wishing that you’d had more time.

Full day to explore Petra. Entry by Siq and visit the Treasury, Street of Facades, Theater, Colonnaded Street etc. after lunch inside Petra you will still have time to visit the Monastery and/or the High Place of Sacrifice today. It is a lot of climbing but definitely worth the views! An alternative route goes from Little Petra finishing in the main entry, amazing trek away from the crowds. The walk is long and not suitable for small children and those who have walking problems.

After breakfast drive to Wadi Rum Visitors Centre. Before starting with the jeep tour you may decide to enjoy an hour camel ride from Wadi Rum Village to Lawrence’s Spring. Continue with a half day ( 3- 4 hrs) jeep tour including a freshly prepared barbeque lunch in a remote area – this would definitely be a highlight of your trip. A jeep tour is the best way to discover lots of sites in Wadi Rum. The jeep will stop at each site giving you time to walk/scramble around and maybe even climb up on some of the beautiful natural formed bridges in Wadi Rum. Dinner and overnight at Khaled campsite in Wadi Rum.
