Tour · 8 nights · with Explore Worldwide
An escorted small-group tour through Jordan's ancient sites, from the rose-red city of Petra to the desert dunes of Wadi Rum with bedouin camp stays, offered by Explore Worldwide.
Highlights
Roman ruins of Jerash
6th-century mosaic map in Madaba
Floating in the Dead Sea
Two days in the rose-red city of Petra
Bedouin camp stay and camel ride in Wadi Rum
This eight-night tour by Explore Worldwide follows a thoughtful route through Jordan’s historic and natural landmarks. Starting in Amman, travellers can explore sprawling souks or the Roman Theatre before heading north to Jerash, where only a fraction of its Roman city has been unearthed. Nearby Madaba offers Byzantine mosaics laid out in intricate patterns that hint at centuries of craftsmanship.
Journeys
Further south, the tour embraces the desert, with a dip in the Dead Sea and a night in a Bedouin camp near Little Petra. The key highlight is Petra, which unfolds beyond a narrow canyon with sheer pink sandstone walls, revealing tombs and façades that change colour with the light. After days exploring this vast site and meeting locals over dinner, the desert takes centre stage again in Wadi Rum, with camel rides and nights in furnished tents away from city lights.
A more relaxed finish arrives in Aqaba by the Red Sea, where coral reefs and seafood restaurants gather local Jordanians on weekends. The tour winds back to Amman, offering free time for last-minute wandering or simply folding away the desert dust.
