The Itinerary in Detail
Day 1: Easy Arrival and Settling In
Your Jordan adventure kicks off with meet and assist service at Amman Queen Alia International Airport—a warm welcome that eases the nerves of arriving in a new country. From there, you’re transferred directly to your hotel in Amman, where you can relax and settle in. A dinner is included, giving you a taste of Jordanian hospitality early on.
Many reviews highlight the smooth airport transfer and helpful staff, which set a positive tone for the trip. As one traveler shared, “Fathi was extremely helpful and professional. He along with his crew helped and met our expectations.”
Day 2: From the Dead Sea to Wadi Rum
The day begins at the Dead Sea, sitting at 1,412 feet below sea level—the lowest point on Earth. Here, the highlight is undoubtedly the chance to float effortlessly in the salt-rich waters, an experience that’s both fun and surreal. The mineral-rich mud and salt water are renowned for their skin benefits, but the real draw is just how strange and relaxing it feels to be weightless in such a natural spa.
You’ll have a couple of hours to enjoy the facilities, including pools and private beach access, making it ideal for a leisurely morning. Many visitors appreciate the exclusive access, as the tour provides a private entrance to the Dead Sea. One reviewer noted, “It’s an unforgettable sensation to just lie back and float—you feel like you’re in space!”
Next, it’s time to switch gears and head into the desert wilderness of Wadi Rum. Known as the “Valley of the Moon,” its moon-like landscapes are perfect for stunning photographs and awe-inspiring views. The area has been a filming hotspot for movies like Star Wars and The Martian, adding a touch of Hollywood magic.
The highlight here is the 2-hour Jeep tour, which offers a thrilling off-road experience. Expect to see towering rock formations, sweeping dunes, and narrow canyons. The guide’s knowledge about the site adds context, sharing stories about its history and filming trivia. Many visitors mention how the Jeep ride makes the desert’s vastness feel more accessible and exciting.
The day concludes with a transfer to Petra, where you settle into your hotel, enjoy dinner, and prepare for the next day’s exploration.
Day 3: Walking through Petra’s Ancient Marvels
The final day is dedicated to exploring Petra, Jordan’s crown jewel and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The guided tour begins early, walking along the narrow Siq, a winding gorge that leads directly to the iconic Treasury (El-Khazneh). This site’s intricate façade has enchanted visitors for centuries and has been featured in films like Indiana Jones and Transformers.
The guide offers insightful commentary about the carved tombs, temples, and the ancient Nabatean civilization that built this city more than 2,000 years ago. Many travelers comment on the breathtaking views and the impressive scale of the rock-cut architecture.
After the tour, you’ll have free time to visit the Petra Museum or grab a quick lunch before heading back to Amman. The journey concludes with a transfer to Queen Alia International Airport, ensuring you catch your flight comfortably.
