Petra and Wadi Rum fully deserve their reputation as two of the most staggeringly beautiful places in the Middle East. And by the end of our tour, you’ll know exactly why.
What you’re going to do
A visit to Jordan is not complete without a trip to Petra and Wadi Rum.
During this tour, you’ll venture through Petra’s Siq – the spectacular ceremonial entrance to the ancient city – before we take you into our favorite corners of Wadi Rum.
We will start our tour from Aqaba to Petra, leaving Aqaba at 8:00AM. You’ll have a moment to doze off again on the way – or gaze at the view crossing the country. Then, enter the Nabataean city like the ceremonial guests of old – through the breath-taking canyon known as the Siq, and explore the magic of the city. You won’t see anything like it anywhere else. Lunch is in the caves above The Monastery, the magnificent monument at the back of the Nabataean city.
We will head to Wadi Rum desert, often called unearthly as the landscape looks more like the landscape that we expect it to be on the Moon or Mars. That is why people often call the Wadi Rum desert the ‘Valley of the Moon'.
You will enjoy the Jeep tour for 2 hours and end it with the stunning transformation of colors of the sunset.
Throw in a dinner cooked by the Bedouins and you’ve got a Jordanian experience you’ll never forget.
