Wadi Rum:

Jeep Safari: Best way to explore the immense area of Wadi Rum is while in the back of an old 4x4 truck. To discover a landscape that was once described by the British officer T. E. Lawrence as, 'vast, echoing and Godlike.' This description wonderfully summarises the Wadi Rum experience. (35 USD Per hour/Per Jeep, Flat Rate).

BBQ chicken lunch: it is a unique experience, which is as close to what the native Bedouins used to eat while in the desert (20 USD per person).

Camel ride: who can resist trekking through the desert on the back of a camel? This is best done after sunset or during early sunrise. Don’t miss out on this genuine experience in the desert (20 USD per person/per hour).*

Horse ride: want to experience Wadi Rum as T.E. Lawrence once did? Then horse riding is something that you cannot miss out on (50 USD per person/per hour).*

Hot air balloon: you’ve enjoyed the magic around you, but do you want to see more? Then the hot air balloon is exactly what you’re looking for; you will have a bird’s eye view of this beautiful landscape (from 45–90 minutes).

It starts at dawn every day but reservations usually need to be confirmed the day before. Also, please note that hot air balloon rides are subject to weather conditions (185 USD per person).**

Mountain hiking: want to experience the desert in a different way and feel every bit of it? Then hiking around Wadi Rum is a great way to truly immerse yourself in your surroundings. This trip usually takes a couple of days to allow you to see the entire desert (65 USD/2hrs flat, for the local guide).*

Tour Itinerary:

Day One – Airport Pickup (EY 511 – 3:05 AM) - PETRA - WADI RUM

Upon your arrival at the flight EY 511 – 3:05 AM, you will need around 1 hour to clear luggage and as you pass custom into the arrival hall one of our team members will be expecting you (with a signage with your name).

After initial greetings, you will be driven to Petra (the drive should take no more than 2:30 hours) to start your indiana jones expedition into the lost city of petra.

PETRA

The British Broadcasting Channel (BBC) has listed Petra as “one of the 40 places you have to see before you die,” and indeed we agree.

Petra is a city that was lost for centuries until its discovery by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. It is a city that inspired many a poet, John William Burgon being no different. Petra inspired him to write, “it seems no work of Man's creative hand, by labour wrought as wavering fancy planned; But from the rock as if by magic grown, eternal, silent, beautiful, alone!” The rocks seem to have a mind of their own, and you can sense something enchanting as you walk down the rock-lined corridor to the magnificence that awaits you.

On this day, a special guide will take you along the same route many have travelled before and you will feel as if you’ve journeyed into another world. You get to explore a city carved into stone, walk through a dim, narrow gorge called The Siq, (a holy path filled with old and ancient relics of gods); a sophisticated water system has been placed on both sides of the gorge. Much more will be revealed to you as you walk until you reach The Treasury. And just like Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade, you will be mesmerised by what you see.

A whole city, carved from stone, will open up before you once you leave The Treasury. Everything is built from the rock face—houses, theatres, tombs, and facades. As the sun casts its rays onto these places and you watch other tourists stroll along discovering the hidden secrets of Petra, you will understand what life must have been like for the people living here—tranquil, bustling, and exquisite.

Things to consider:

The Monastery (Al–Dair):

This monastery is a one hour climb up 800 rock steps from the basin restaurant/museum area. Don’t be intimidated by the ascent though; donkeys are available, but the essence of the experience for many people is in the walk itself.

What to expect:

While it is not as famous as the Treasury, the Monastery is considered one of the most impressive views at Petra. It is similar to the Treasury yet only larger (50m high x 45m wide). While containing much less decoration, it is still beautifully carved and worth every one of the 800 steps you took to reach it.

Wadi Araba Vantage Point:

If you are a lover of scenic landscapes and breath-taking views, another part of your day should include this location. With just an extra ten minute walk from the Monastery, you will be happy you took the extra time. Here you will enjoy panoramic views of the Wadi Araba Valley. This walk can be extra rewarding for the bird watchers among the group as eagles populate this area in abundance.

High Places of Sacrifices:

This is another place that is offered that provides the opportunity for both a close look into the faith of the Nabateans priest as it was used for animal sacrifice, and also provides a very spectacular view of the city below. Get yourself ready for 700 steps into the mountain (again donkeys can be hired for those looking for a ride up). Your trek up will begin in the area by the theatre near the Treasury.

Wadi Rum

Best way to explore the immense area of Wadi Rum is while in the back of an old 4x4 truck. To discover a landscape that was once described by the British officer T. E. Lawrence as, 'vast, echoing and Godlike.' This description wonderfully summarises the Wadi Rum experience.

You will notice how the mountains of rock just seem to melt under the sun’s energy, and the tracks of camels, foxes, and wild dogs sprinkled on the wind-swept sand. The incredible silence will engulf you, making you feel like part of the landscape around you.

Later, you will be taken to one of the highest points in all of Wadi Rum to witness a spectacular sunset. Abu-Yosef our bediound guide will prepare us some more Bedouin tea, right in the desert sand, and leave us to watch the descending sun. As we welcome the moon, a whole new view of the landscape around you emerges and as the darkness creeps in, the sky lights up with millions of stars to cast a silvery light upon the entire world.

Wadi rum entrance fee: 5 Jordanian dinars.

Day Two, Dead Sea - Amman

After breakfast, we will embark on a four-hour drive to the Dead Sea. Driving along you will observe another side of Jordan and see the diversity of the land around you, as we pass by Wadi Araba. Sand dunes will emerge on both sides of the road, as we progress towards the fertile land of the Dead Sea. The rich land of the Jordan Valley, which has been plentiful for the last 10,000 years, will start to unfold before you.

We continue our journey by descending quickly towards the lowest point on earth (423 meters below sea level), driving along the Dead Sea Highway we will pass by the Wadi Mujib Bridge, which faces an enormous gorge.

Dead Sea: words can hardly describe this magnificent place, being one of the world's first health resorts for kings like Herod the Great and much more.
Today all you have to do is relax and float on your back, read your favorite magazine and have your facebook profile picture taken.

Things to consider:

When sun basking at the Dead Sea, it is popular for guests to cover themselves with mud and forget to use any sun protection. The sun's harmful UV rays are filtered due to the high atmospheric pressure in the area, and we’d like all our guests to be careful so that they can enjoy their entire experience.

Continue to Amman for Dinner and Free time Check-in into your hotel to rest up.

Day Three – Departure EY 512 departs 4:10 AM.

You will be driven to the airport where we will bid you farewell; a staff member will take your luggage inside for you and wish you a safe and pleasant trip home.
