Overview

Jordan, an Arab nation on the east bank of the Jordan River, is known for its ancient monuments, natural reserves, and seaside resorts. It is also home to the famed archaeological site of Petra: the Nabatean capital dating to around 300 B.C.E. Set in a narrow valley with tombs, temples and monuments carved into the pink sandstone cliffs, Petra is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the world.

This trip will give you the opportunity to emerge through the ever-changing landscape of Jordan’s southern region. You will explore Petra by day, hike through Wadi Rum, marvel at the sunrise on camel back, and interact with the Bedouins, learning more details about their culture. Some shopping time in downtown Amman and the aromas of the Jordanian cuisine complement this itinerary, turning it into one of the most fun and adventurous trips you can have in just 3 days.

Explore the Wadi Rum: The Valley of the Moon, known for its red-pink sands, its stunning natural arches and mountains, and its prehistoric rock engravings.
Enjoy an authentic Bedouin experience with local BBQ and camping.
Ride with the Jeeps into the sunset.
