Trip Overview

Day 1: Welcome to Jordan

Arrive at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) and take included transportation to our hotel located in Amman, the capital of Jordan.

Take in the unique blend of old and new, where the modern, commercial heart of the city mixes with traditional coffee shops and tiny artisan workshops.

Join your new friends for our first dinner together at a local Jordanian restaurant and begin to settle into your new surroundings.

Day 2: Amman to Wadi Rum

Take a guided walking tour to discover the history of Amman with a visit to the Citadel. This historic site boasts one of the largest Neolithic settlements ever found in the Middle East.

Learn about the Bronze Age Tombs, see the iconic Temple of Hercules, and walk along the ancient walls to the Roman Theatre.

Drive to Wadi Rum, one of the most beautiful deserts in the world. Admire the dramatic sandstone and basalt mountains that jut out from the sandy floor as you settle into your tent for the night.

Day 3: The Valley of the Moon

Immerse yourself in the magical desert landscape of Wadi Rum on a 4-wheel drive jeep tour.  

Climb up sand dunes for magnificent views to take in the different colors of rock and sand. Hike around boulders and inside canyon walls to discover ancient inscriptions of the Camel Caravans.

Enjoy a delicious Bedouin dinner and relax under the stars of the desert night.

Day 4: Aqaba and the Red Sea

Say goodbye to your camp hosts in Wadi Rum and drive to the city of Aqaba on the Red Sea.

Go for a walk with your Trip Leader to get your bearings in this new city and visit Mamluk Castle. This well-preserved historic site tells the story of Aqaba’s conquerors and rulers throughout hundreds of years, dating back to the 14th century.

In the afternoon, relax on a private beach or choose from other optional activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, or a boat tour.

Day 5: The Lost City of the Biblical Nabataean

Take in one last look across the Gulf of Aqaba, where you can see Israel, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Then drive over to Petra, the ancient city founded by the Nabateans over 2,000 years ago.

Begin exploring this ancient city on a walk through the famous Siq, a long narrow geological fault split apart by tectonic forces.

Visit Petra’s magnificent facades like the Treasury or Al Khazna. You may recognize it from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Day 6: Petra

After breakfast, gear up for another visit into the ancient city of Petra! Begin at Little Petra and hike along sandy plateaus and stone staircases, crossing paths with goat herds and Bedouin campsites.

Arrive at the Monastery, or Ad Dier, an impressive 7-story structure with a doorway over 25 feet tall! Explore the numerous rock-cut halls and inspect the crosses inscribed on the interior back wall during its Christian use in Byzantine times.

Enjoy an afternoon of free time to explore other sites of the Petra Basin. Perhaps return for a night tour through this incredible archeological wonder.

Day 7: The Dead Sea & Madaba

Say goodbye to Petra and begin your journey to Madaba. The first stop will be the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth! Spend time relaxing in the water and discover how you can float in this super-salty water.

Arrive at Madaba, the city of Mosaics. Visit Mount Nebo to see where Moses was shown the Promised Land. Afterward, continue exploring the town and many of its archaeological sites.

Gather with your new friends for a final dinner in Jordan as you share your experiences and reflect on your journey.
