Overview

This 8 day Bedouin Jordan tour follows the old desert routes from Amman to the Red Sea and back, with a professional licensed guide and seven hotel nights.

The trip ends with a stop at the Baptism Site and a relaxing night at the Dead Sea.

8 Day Bedouin Jordan Tour: Route and Highlights

Days 1 and 2 are in Amman, with Jerash, Ajloun Castle, the Citadel and the downtown souk. Day 3 takes you to Madaba and Mount Nebo on the way to Petra, and day 4 is a full day in the rose-red city. On day 5 you cross Wadi Rum by jeep and continue to Aqaba, where day 6 is free. Day 7 brings the Baptism Site and the Dead Sea, and day 8 is your airport transfer.

This 8 day Bedouin Jordan tour suits travelers who want variety: history and Bible sites, desert scenery, sea time and a spa-style finish. It works well for couples and small groups, since groups are capped at 12 travelers. Eight days gives you two nights in each of Amman, Petra and Aqaba, so you unpack more than you pack, and the free day in Aqaba breaks up the touring.

Your arrival and departure transfers at Amman airport are part of the package. Choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels, priced per person in a shared double room for 2 or more travelers, or as a single room if you travel solo. Children pay a lower rate on the shared room options, and the booking form shows the exact price for your option and number of travelers. Because all hotel nights are pre-paid, the tour is non-refundable. Compare our 8 day Aqaba diving tour with Petra and Wadi Rum, browse other 6 to 8 day tours or see all Jordan package tours.
