Tour Description

This 8-day Jordan trip takes you through centuries of history and some of the world’s most jaw-dropping landscapes. Explore Amman’s ancient layers, wander the Roman ruins of Jerash and hike Dana’s rugged trails before taking the backdoor into Petra. Then trade stone cities for red sand: 4x4 through Wadi Rum, sleep under desert stars and float effortlessly in the Dead Sea. Local food, timeless landscapes and stories straight out of legend — this is Jordan at its most unforgettable.

Itinerary

Amman
Day 1
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Toledo Hotel (or similar)
Welcome to Amman - Jordan's buzzing capital, packed with bronze age ruins, art galleries and even a restored Roman theatre. AKA the perfect place to begin our adventure. Exchange hellos with your crew before heading out for dinner at a local restaurant.
Amman
Day 2
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Toledo Hotel (or similar)
After breakfast, we’ll head out on a city tour with a Local Guide to fill you in on Amman's story. Check out the Citadel, the iconic Amphitheatre, and even the Archelogical museum. Then it’s off to the Iraq Al-Amir Women Association for a hands-on local activity and lunch. History, culture, and connection all in one day — not bad for a capital city, right?
Amman via Jerash
Day 3
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Toledo Hotel (or similar)
Catch ya' later, Amman. Today we’ll roll out of the city and head north. Cue colonnaded streets and ancient drama —  after a quick exploration of Jerash. Worked up an appetite? Good. Cuz for lunch, we'll settle in at Bait Al-Khairat, a popular spot famed for its delish local eats.  Back in the capital by afternoon with free time to play it your way. Coffee crawl? Last-minute shopping? Feet up and chill? You choose.
Amman to Little Petra via Dana Nature Reserve
Day 4
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Ammarine Camp (or similar)
Wakey wakey. Today we’ll head south and swap city streets for wide-open landscapes.  Time to stretch the legs on the Shaq Al-Reesh Trail, walking through rugged canyons and wide valley views. We’ll refuel with a packed lunch — simple, fresh, and very welcome mid-walk. As the sun dips, we’ll arrive at Little Petra and settle in at Ammarine Camp. Tonight's dinner will be served Bedouin-style, shared around the table and full of local flavours. Then it’s tents, quiet desert skies, and a night that feels a world away from anywhere else.
Little Petra to Petra
Day 5
Duration: 1
Accommodation: La Maison Hotel (or similar)
After breakfast, we’ll set off on the backdoor hike into Petra, following quiet desert paths framed by sandstone cliffs and wide-open views. Think changing colours, natural rock formations, and that slow build-up before the main event.  We’ll continue exploring the site as it opens up in full, entering through the main gates and soaking it all in. Tonight, we’ll rest up at our hotel in Petra. Legs tired, camera roll full.
Petra to Wadi Rum
Day 6
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Amber Camp (or similar)
After breakfast, we’ll say goodbye to Petra and hit the road south. Next stop: wide-open desert. We’ll jump into a Bedouin jeep for a two-hour ride through Wadi Rum, stopping at spots like Siq Um Tawaqi, ancient inscriptions, and a few photo-worthy viewpoints along the way. Dinner and the night are spent at a desert camp — tents, stars, and that quiet-hits-different kind of vibe.
Wadi Rum to Amman via Dead Sea
Day 7
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Toledo Hotel (or similar)
After breakfast, we’ll leave the desert behind and settle in for the drive north. Dead sea time. We'll stop by at a resort for lunch and a swim in the Dead Sea — yes, floating is mandatory. By evening, we’ll be back in Amman, with an optional dinner at a local favourite if you’re keen.
Amman
Day 8
Duration: 1
And just like that, our wonderful week in Jordan has come to an end.
