About this experience

Ten days allow you to see the Jordan most visitors miss. You explore the Umayyad castles of the eastern desert and the Ottoman town of As-Salt, hike down Wadi Dana to spend a candle-lit night at Feynan Ecolodge, and walk into Petra through the back door from Little Petra.

The final days bring the classic desert and sea experiences of Wadi Rum and Aqaba and a relaxing end at the Dead Sea.

Good to know

  • Buy the Jordan Pass online before you travel: it covers Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerash and more than 40 other sites, and, for eligible visitors, waives the tourist visa fee if you stay at least 2 consecutive nights (3 days).
  • Hotels are not included: stay where you prefer, or ask us and we can suggest hotels from 3★ to 5★ on your route (the Wadi Rum camp is booked with your tent).
  • Every package can be adjusted: add nights, add or skip a visit, or change the order. Send us a message after booking.
  • The Dana–Feynan hike needs moderate fitness; luggage travels by car.
  • Camp tents: choose a tent for 2 or for 3 people. For bigger groups the tents are added automatically – e.g. 5 guests with the tent for 3 = one tent for 3 and one tent for 2; with the tent for 2 or the bubble tent, one tent for every 2 guests.

Places you visit

Questions travellers ask

Is the price per person or per group?

Not per person: the price is for your private car with driver, for your group only – choose the vehicle that fits your group. Add-ons such as tickets, guides and meals are priced as shown next to each one, and the total updates live as you choose.

Can I change the pick-up time?

Yes. We suggest a time that avoids the heat and the crowds, and you can adjust it after booking by message or WhatsApp.

How do I pay?

Choose your payment method at checkout. You will receive an instant booking email, and our team confirms your driver (and guide, if you added one) within a few hours.

Can we spend time at a Dead Sea resort, and how much is a day pass?

Yes – several Dead Sea resorts welcome day visitors. Approximate published prices per person: Mövenpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea – about JOD 55 from Sunday to Thursday and JOD 65 on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays (about JOD 110–130 for two). Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa – usually JOD 50–75 depending on the package; some packages include the pools and private beach, and the higher ones also a food and drink credit (about JOD 100–150 for two). Crowne Plaza Jordan Dead Sea Resort & Spa – usually JOD 40–50, depending on availability, the day of your visit and what is included (about JOD 80–100 for two).

Is there a more affordable way to swim in the Dead Sea?

Yes – the Dead Sea Tourist Beach (formerly known as Amman Tourist Beach). Current published prices for foreign visitors: JOD 10 per person for basic day entry, JOD 20 per person for the swimming package and JOD 30 per person for swimming with lunch. It is a good, economical choice for a short visit. If you prefer more privacy and comfort, hotel-standard facilities, swimming pools and a private beach, we recommend Mövenpick, Marriott or Crowne Plaza.

Is the resort or beach entry included in our booking?

Not in the programme price, but you can add it: a day use with lunch buffet and use of all facilities at the Grand East Hotel (4★, JOD 30 per person), the Crowne Plaza (5★, JOD 45) or the Marriott (5★, JOD 75) under “Add to your booking”, and we arrange it for you. A day pass at another resort, or the Tourist Beach, is paid by you directly there. The other prices above are general, approximate information that changes with the season, the hotel’s occupancy and your date – we are happy to re-confirm them before your visit.
