A place where history looks like a film set

Here you can walk the streets of an ancient Roman city, see Petra lit by hundreds of lights in the evening, and the next day find yourself among the red rocks and endless desert of Wadi Rum.
Jordan keeps changing the scenery: ancient civilisations, biblical sites, the desert and the Dead Sea.

Petra, the place people fly to Jordan for

A city carved entirely out of the rock, so unreal that it is hard to believe it is thousands of years old.
We will see Petra twice: in the evening, lit by lights and torches to the sound of music, and the next day, when we walk through the ancient city and climb to the Monastery, Ad Deir: about 800 steps lead up to it.

A night on another planet

After Petra comes Wadi Rum.
Red rocks, golden dunes and landscapes that made this the place to film Dune, The Martian and Star Wars.
By day we head out to explore the desert by jeep, and in the evening we stay right here, glamping in complete silence under a starry sky.

From the desert to the Dead Sea

The finale changes the mood completely. After a packed itinerary come the shores of the Dead Sea, a five-star resort, a pool, a spa and sunset over the water.
And before that, places known from thousands of years of history: Mount Nebo, ancient Madaba and the site of the Baptism of Jesus Christ on the Jordan River.
Jordan ends exactly the way you want a big journey to end: slowing down a little and taking in everything you have seen.

Day 3
Petra by Night
The drive south and a first encounter with Petra
The drive to Petra and some time by the pool. In the evening, Petra by Night: the path to the Treasury lit by hundreds of candles, and a few Bedouin songs as you sit on carpets. Your first encounter with Jordan's greatest sight begins in the dark, and it is truly beautiful.
The Treasury at Petra
Day 4
Petra and Wadi Rum
The Treasury, the Monastery and a desert sunset
Early in the morning, before the crowds arrive, a two-kilometre walk through the Siq gorge to the Treasury. For those with the most stamina, about eight hundred steps up to the Monastery, Ad Deir. In the evening, the drive to Wadi Rum, sunset with Bedouin tea by the campfire and a night in a dome tent in the middle of the desert.
The rocks of the Wadi Rum desert
Day 5
The Wadi Rum desert
Martian landscapes by jeep
At sunrise, an optional hot-air balloon flight over the desert. During the day, a jeep tour in open pickups to the places where The Martian and Star Wars were filmed. In the evening, dinner at the camp and a sky so clear you can see the Milky Way.
A walk in the desert at sunset
Day 6
The Dead Sea
The road to the lowest point on Earth
Most of the day is spent on the road, crossing the country to the Dead Sea. Check-in at a hotel on the shore. If there is time before sunset, your first swim, with the water holding you up all on its own.
In the Jordanian desert
Day 7
Holy sites
Mount Nebo, Madaba and the Jordan River
Mount Nebo, where, according to the Bible, Moses saw the Promised Land, and St George's Church in Madaba with its ancient mosaic map.

Departure
