Daily itinerary

On arrival, you’ll be greeted at the airport and transferred to our hotel in Amman to freshen up and settle in. Once everyone has arrived, we’ll kick off the trip with a welcome dinner at one of the city’s most renowned restaurants.

Meals:

Dinner

Jordan’s capital is a vibrant city where ancient history meets modern life. We’ll explore iconic sites like the Amman Citadel and the Roman Theatre before venturing into the bustling heart of downtown. Along the way, we’ll indulge in Jordan’s culinary delights, sampling sweet Kunafa, fresh juices, and dining at a 70-year-old restaurant for an authentic taste of local flavours. 

Satisfied and full, we’ll then drive to Wadi Musa, the gateway to Petra.

Meals:

Breakfast, lunch & dinner

We’re exploring Petra a little differently, entering through the “back door” along a scenic trail once used by Nabatean traders. As we wind through canyons and striking sandstone formations, we’ll arrive at the foot of the Monastery, one of Petra’s most majestic monuments, before making our way down through the heart of the city to the iconic Treasury.

Meals:

Breakfast, lunch & dinner

After bidding farewell to Petra, we’ll travel south to the Disi Women’s Cooperative, a local community initiative where we’ll enjoy a traditional home-cooked lunch and gain a unique insight into Bedouin culture, traditions, and daily life from a woman’s perspective.

The adventure continues as we head to Wadi Rum for a thrilling jeep ride across vast red sand dunes, towering cliffs, and ancient rock inscriptions. We’ll spend the night in a traditional desert camp, perfectly situated for stargazing under the endless desert sky.

Meals:

Breakfast, lunch & dinner

Swapping the desert for the sea, we’ll head to a beach club in Aqaba for some sun, sea, and relaxation. But there’s one essential ‘s’ missing… snorkelling.

To tick that off, we’ll set sail on an afternoon boat trip, diving into the Red Sea’s spectacular underwater world. Vibrant reefs, colourful fish, and crystal-clear waters await – prepare to be amazed.

Meals:

Breakfast, lunch & dinner

Visit the lowest point on Earth and spend the day rejuvenating in the serene, mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Experience the unique sensation of floating effortlessly thanks to its high salt concentration, and indulge in the therapeutic benefits of its famed mud.

The day is yours to relax at the resort, soak in the views, and enjoy a leisurely lunch with a stunning backdrop.

Meals:

Breakfast, lunch & dinner

Explore Jerash, one of the world’s best-preserved Roman cities and an incredible site often missed by most tours. Wander through the grand Oval Plaza and step into the ancient theatre, imagining life as it was centuries ago. 

Our second Wild Women Moment takes us to Beit Khairat Souf, a community project run by local women, where we’ll enjoy home-cooked Jordanian dishes and try our hand at a candle-making class.

Our journey comes to an end with a memorable farewell dinner in Amman.

Meals:

Breakfast, lunch & dinner

It’s time to say goodbye to your awesome tour guide, fellow travellers turned new friends, and the wonderful country of Jordan. We’ll drop you off at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, ready for your flight home.

Meet your guide

Tala

Tala is a Jordanian tour guide who collects stories more than souvenirs. A former teacher, she followed her passion into guiding, believing that life is best spent doing what you love, immersing yourself in nature, and experiencing places for how they feel, not just how they look.

Wild women moment

Disi Women’s Cooperation & Beit al Souf

Our Jordan tour includes not one, but two Wild Women Moments. We’ll spend time with the Disi Women’s Cooperative, learning about daily life for Bedouin women while sharing delicious home-cooked Jordanian dishes. We’ll also visit a women-owned café that creates job opportunities for local women to support themselves, where we’ll enjoy more incredible food and take part in a hands-on candle-making workshop.

What travelers are saying

If you are hesitant at all about traveling with a group of strangers from around the world for two weeks, trust me when I say GO FOR IT. Kate creates such a welcoming atmosphere where you can truly be yourself, spend way too much time laughing to the point of crying, and have deep and meaningful conversations.

The trip was well organised and the price is unbeatable for the fact that everything was included - from food to transportation, guides and entrances. Traveling in a group was so much fun, and usually I am not much of a group-trip person. Highly recommended!

We didn't just learn about the country and its culture, but also about ourselves and each other. Kate’s balance of spontaneity and liveliness as well as seriousness made the experience not only inspiring but also really enjoyable!

Frequently asked questions

Jordan is considered one of the safest countries to visit in the Middle East. It has a low crime rate, and violent crime against tourists is extremely rare. The country is politically stable, and security is generally reliable, especially in major tourist areas like Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea.

Even though regional tensions are high, Jordan remains open to tourism and its popular sites are still operating normally.

Most nationalities require a visa to enter Jordan, with many travellers choosing the Jordan Pass, which starts from 70 JOD (£70/$99).

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Your Jordan visa is included in the trip price, and we’ll take care of all the admin in advance. When you arrive, our Meet and Greet assistant will be there when you step off the plane, with your visa already sorted.

This applies to the majority of our guests. If you’re travelling on a passport from a restricted country, please let us know as soon as possible so we can advise and manage this accordingly. You can check whether your nationality is restricted here.

The trip kicks off and ends in Amman, where you’ll be picked up and dropped off at Queen Alia International Airport.

Need a hand with your flights? We’re experts at finding cheap flight deals!

We include airport transfers in the trip price to keep things stress-free: pick-up (the day before or on the trip start date) and drop-off on departure day.

While most expenses in Jordan are covered in the trip price, there are a few exclusions, including:

  • International flights to and from Jordan  
  • Personal travel insurance (mandatory)
  • Tips
  • Any optional activities, snacks, and drinks

Jordan is quite relaxed compared to some other Middle Eastern countries, but dressing modestly will help you feel comfortable and respectful, especially outside tourist areas.

In cities like Amman and at major sites such as Petra or Wadi Rum, stick to loose trousers or skirts, T-shirts, blouses, or lightweight long-sleeve tops. You don’t need to cover your hair, but it’s best to keep your shoulders covered and avoid very short shorts or skirts. 

And if you’re visiting a mosque, make sure to have a scarf to cover your hair. We provide a full packing list once you've signed up to the trip.

We make every effort to accommodate dietary requirements, including vegetarian and vegan options. Please inform us of any food restrictions or special dietary needs when booking so we can plan accordingly.

Upon booking, a £200 (or equivalent) deposit is required to secure your spot on the trip. At this time, you can also pay for the trip in full. 


Want to spread out your trip payments? We can split the cost across two payments, paid 120 days and 60 days before the trip departure date. Don’t worry, you don’t need to remember these dates, we’ll be in touch when the payments are due.
