What makes this trip

Jordan Private Tour – Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea

This 8-day Jordan private tour takes you through the country's most iconic destinations — combining ancient Roman cities, Nabataean wonders, dramatic desert landscapes, and one of the world's most extraordinary natural phenomena in one carefully crafted itinerary.

You'll begin in Amman before heading north to Jerash — one of the world's best-preserved Roman cities — and the medieval fortress of Ajloun Castle. The journey then swings south to Wadi Rum for a 4WD Bedouin jeep safari through towering sandstone mountains and vast red sand plains, with a night under the desert stars at a Bedouin camp.

Days four and five belong entirely to Petra. After a quieter introduction at Little Petra, you enter the ancient Nabataean city through the dramatic Siq, emerging before the iconic Treasury. A full guided day covers the Royal Tombs, the Roman colonnaded street, the ancient theatre, and the Great Temple complex — with an optional climb to the Monastery for exceptional views.

Day six follows the historic King's Highway to Shobak Castle before arriving at the Dead Sea for an afternoon of effortless floating and therapeutic mud. The final full day visits Madaba's sixth-century Byzantine mosaic map and Mount Nebo — where Moses is believed to have viewed the Promised Land — before a return to Amman ahead of departure.
