View tourJordan Package Tours
This 4 day Jordan tour lets you sleep in three very different places: a Red Sea hotel in Aqaba, a hotel steps from Petra and a Bedouin camp deep in the Wadi Rum desert. It starts and ends at Amman airport, so it fits neatly around your flights, and the transfers, a guided Petra tour, a jeep safari and most of your meals are already arranged.
Day 1 takes you from Queen Alia International Airport down the Desert Highway to Aqaba for a free evening and dinner at your hotel. Day 2 is Petra, with an English-speaking guide through the Siq to the Treasury, the royal tombs and the cliff temples, followed by lunch and a night in Petra. Day 3 heads into Wadi Rum for a 1.5 hour jeep safari, a desert sunset and a Bedouin dinner at camp. On day 4 you enjoy a slow desert morning before the afternoon transfer back to Amman airport.
This trip is a great match for travelers flying into Jordan who want Petra and the desert without building the logistics themselves, couples looking for a camp night under the stars, and families who like a mix of sightseeing and downtime. The 4 day Jordan tour keeps the pace relaxed, with free evenings and a free morning, while still covering the two places most visitors come for.
Pickup is from Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, and the tour ends back at the same airport on day 4. Choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels for your Aqaba and Petra nights, priced per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers or as a single room for solo travelers. Children pay a lower child rate, and the booking form shows the exact price for your hotel level and travelers. Because the nights are pre-paid, the 4 day Jordan tour is non-refundable.
