Nabatean Wonders Jordan Tour: Route and Highlights

Day 3 follows the Kings' Highway past Madaba, Mount Nebo, Wadi Mujib and Kerak to Petra.

This Nabatean Wonders Jordan tour suits travelers who want to go deeper into Petra than a day trip allows, photographers who want more than one look at the Rose-Red City, and anyone curious to sleep in the desert. Eight days lets the trip breathe. You are never in a rush at the big sites, and the free afternoon in Amman at the end gives you time for shopping before you fly.

A member of our team meets you at Queen Alia International Airport and takes you back there on day 8. 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. The Wadi Rum night is in a Bedouin camp whichever level you choose. 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 the nights are pre-paid, the tour is non-refundable.
