9-Day Jordan Adventure Tour from Amman with Petra and Wadi Rum

• Meet and greet at Amman airport according to your arrival time.
• Depart مباشرة to the hotel in Amman, or to the first area to be visited according to the agreement, and then continue to the hotel you have booked in advance.

• Walk up the Mujib River to the waterfall. Wadi Mujib spans 70 kilometres of valleys, towns, and mountains. It begins at the Desert Highway and ends at the opening of the iconic Dead Sea. The canyon itself is an impressive 4 kilometres wide and one kilometre tall. The entrance to the Mujib Biosphere Reserve is around 1 hour and 20 minutes from the capital city of Amman.
• The trail starts at the Visitor Center near the Mujib Bridge, where you will take the cantilevered walkway over the dam and follow the river's course between towering sandstone cliffs to the base of a large waterfall. Depending on seasonal rainfall levels, the gorge may contain pools deep enough for swimming.
• This is an ideal walk to take slowly and enjoy the cool water and shade, especially in the summer heat.
• Drive for around 3 hours towards Petra along the Dead Sea and drop off at the Petra hotel you reserved in advance.

• Start the Petra hike at 6:30 am. Petra, the capital of the Nabataean Arabs, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. It is located 240 km south of the capital, Amman, and 120 km north of the Red Sea town of Aqaba. It is undoubtedly Jordan's most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction, and it is visited by tourists from all over the world.
• Enjoy some private time to explore the ancient city by yourself.
• Have lunch on your own somewhere in Petra.

• Explore Wadi Rum for a full day. Wadi Rum is a protected desert wilderness in southern Jordan. It features dramatic sandstone mountains like the many-domed Jebel Um Ishrin and natural arches like Burdah Rock Bridge. Many prehistoric inscriptions and carvings line rocky caverns and steep chasms, such as Khazali Canyon. The natural watering hole of Lawrence's Spring is named after British soldier Lawrence of Arabia, who allegedly washed there.

• Visit the famous Crusader Castle. Karak Castle is a large Crusader castle located in al-Karak. It is one of the largest Crusader castles in the Levant. Construction of the castle began in the 1140s under Pagan and Fulk, King of Jerusalem. The Crusaders called it Crac des Moabites, or "Karak in Moab," as referred to in history books.
