The Nabatean Wonders Jordan tour gives Petra the time it deserves, with three nights in Petra and two separate days inside the site. Around it you get Amman, Roman Jerash, a swim in the Dead Sea, the mosaics of Madaba, Mount Nebo, Kerak Castle, Little Petra and a night in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum. A licensed guide, entrance fees and airport transfers are included.
Day 1 is your arrival in Amman. Day 2 covers the Amman Citadel and museums, Jerash and a swim in the Dead Sea, where you spend the night. Day 3 follows the Kings' Highway past Madaba, Mount Nebo, Wadi Mujib and Kerak to Petra. Days 4 and 5 are two full days in Petra, day 6 takes you to Little Petra and a jeep tour in Wadi Rum with a night at camp, day 7 brings you back to Amman, and day 8 is your departure.
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.
