About this experience

Two very different nights in the south of Jordan. The first is in Wadi Rum: a 4-hour jeep tour between red dunes and sandstone mountains, sunset from the rocks, zarb dinner and a tent under the stars.

The second is by the Red Sea in Aqaba: a boat trip to two coral-reef snorkelling spots with a barbecue lunch on board, then an evening in the old town. On the last day see Aqaba's fort and the ruins of Ayla, take a glass-bottom boat or simply enjoy the beach before your drop-off.

  • Every package can be adjusted: add nights, swap hotels or change the order. Send us a message after booking.

Questions travellers ask

Is it cold at night?

From November to March nights can drop to 0–5 °C. Tents have heavy blankets; bring warm layers.

Do I need to know how to swim for the snorkelling trip?

It helps, but it is not essential: life jackets are provided, the crew includes a lifeguard, and you can stay on the boat and watch the reef through the glass or from the deck.

Is the price per person or per group?

Per person. The more travellers in your group, the lower the price per person – the total updates live as you choose your group size.

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 the driver and guide details within a few hours.
