What a Jordan tour package usually includes
Most Jordan tour packages bundle the parts of the trip that are hard to arrange alone. That means hotels, a driver, a licensed guide at the main sites and every transfer in between. Jordan's top sights are spread out along a long north to south line, so having the driving handled makes a big difference.
What changes from tour to tour is the detail. Some packages include dinner, others only breakfast. Some put you in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum, others keep you in hotels every night. Always read the inclusions on the tour page and check whether entrance fees, such as Petra, are included or paid separately.
All our guides speak English. In Petra, local Spanish and French-speaking guides are free. German, Italian and Russian-speaking guides in Petra cost a small flat fee per booking, so tell us your language when you book.
The stops that matter on Jordan tours
Almost all Jordan tours follow the same chain of highlights from Amman down to the Red Sea. Knowing what each stop offers helps you decide how many days you really need.
Amman and Jerash
Amman is where most trips begin, with the Citadel hill and the Roman theater in the old downtown. Jerash, north of the capital, is one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the region, with columned streets, temples and a large oval plaza. Shorter packages often skip Jerash, so check the itinerary if Roman ruins matter to you.
Madaba, Mount Nebo and Karak
Madaba is known for its Byzantine mosaics, including the famous mosaic map of the Holy Land in St. George's Church. Mount Nebo is where tradition says Moses looked out over the Promised Land. Our local guide to Mount Nebo, Madaba and the Dead Sea covers both in detail. Karak is a huge Crusader castle on the old King's Highway.
Petra and Little Petra
Petra is the reason most people come. You walk through the Siq, a narrow rock canyon, to the Treasury, then on to the Royal Tombs, the Colonnaded Street and, if your legs allow, the long climb of rock-cut steps to the Monastery. Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one day only scratches the surface.
Little Petra, also called Siq al Barid, is a smaller Nabatean site close by with far fewer crowds. Our Little Petra guide to Siq al Barid and the Painted House explains how it differs from the main site.
Wadi Rum
Wadi Rum is a desert of red sand and tall sandstone mountains in the south. Most packages include a jeep safari to canyons, rock bridges and old inscriptions. Some add a night in a Bedouin camp, which many guests tell us was the best part of the trip. Read our complete guide to Wadi Rum to see what a camp night is really like.
The Dead Sea and Aqaba
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on land, and floating in its salty water is a classic stop on longer trips. Aqaba is Jordan's Red Sea port. It is a good place for a beach night, a swim or a slower last day before you head home.

Planning your Jordan trip in 2027
If you are comparing jordan tour packages 2027, start with the season. Spring and fall bring mild days and are the busiest months at Petra, so book those dates early. Summer is hot in the south, which means very early starts. Winter days can be pleasant, but nights in Petra and Wadi Rum get cold, and rain can occasionally close parts of Petra.
Ramadan dates move each year, so check them before you pick dates. Sites stay open, but some restaurants keep shorter hours during the day. Many guests find it an interesting time to visit, as long as they know what to expect.
All prices, fees and opening hours in this guide are current at the time of writing and can change for 2027. Check each tour page and the official sources linked here before you travel. The official Petra visitor site is the place to confirm ticket prices and opening hours.
On safety, as of November 2026: the regional situation can change quickly, and border crossings can close at short notice. Before you book and again before you fly, check your government's advice, such as the US State Department travel advisories. If a border or route changes while you are booked with us, we will contact you.
Visas, border fees and entrance tickets
Money questions come up on every trip, so here is what we know for sure. On our Israel to Jordan tours, the Jordan border and visa fees are 140 USD per person in total. You can pre-pay them on the booking form, so you do not need to carry cash for the border.
If you fly into Amman, visa rules depend on your passport. Our guide to traveling to Jordan, with visas, money, tipping and dress covers the details and links the official sources.
Petra's one-day entrance is 130 USD per person at the time of writing. Some packages include it and some do not, so check the tour page. Small extras like tips, drinks and souvenirs are usually paid in cash.
Practical tips from guides who run these trips every week
- Wear real walking shoes. A full day in Petra means hours on sand, stone and steps.
- Start Petra early. Mornings are cooler and the Siq is quieter before the big groups arrive.
- Pack layers for Wadi Rum. Desert nights are cold for much of the year, even after a warm day.
- Dress modestly. Covered shoulders and knees work well everywhere, and are expected at churches and mosques.
- Carry water and sun protection. There is little shade on the main trails in Petra and Wadi Rum.
- Eat local. Try mansaf and the zarb cooked under the sand in Wadi Rum. Our Jordanian food guide lists the dishes worth ordering.
- Fix your dates before you pay. Our day tours have free cancellation up to 36 hours before the start time, but tours with hotels or flights are non-refundable.
