The itinerary

Day 01

Arrival in Aqaba and Transfer to Petra

Arrive at Aqaba Airport. Our driver will wait for you in the arrivals hall holding a name sign, then transfer you directly to Petra for an overnight stay at a 3-star hotel in Petra, including bed and breakfast (visa at Aqaba Airport is free).

Day 02

Full-Day Exploration of Petra

After breakfast, meet your guide in the lobby to start your tour and transfer towards Petra. Enjoy a full day exploring Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Enter through the Siq and visit the Treasury, Street of Facades, Theater, Colonnaded Street, and more. After lunch inside Petra at Basin Restaurant (optional), you will still have time to visit the Monastery and/or the High Place of Sacrifice today. It involves a lot of climbing, but it is worth it for the views.

Overnight at a 3-star hotel in Petra, including bed and breakfast.

Day 03

From Petra to Wadi Rum Desert Adventure

After breakfast, drive to the Wadi Rum Visitors Centre. Before starting the jeep tour, you can enjoy an hour-long camel ride from Wadi Rum Village (optional). Then begin a 3-4 hour jeep tour, including a freshly prepared lunch. A jeep tour is the best way to discover many sites in Wadi Rum. The jeep will stop at each site, giving you time to walk or scramble around and maybe even climb some of the beautiful naturally formed bridges in Wadi Rum.

Overnight at the campsite in Wadi Rum, including dinner and breakfast.

Day 04

Wadi Rum to Aqaba Leisure Day

After breakfast, drive to Aqaba for a free day and overnight stay. Relax at the beach, discover the town of Aqaba, or book a 3-4 hour snorkelling cruise tour, including lunch (optional). Overnight at a 3-star hotel in downtown Aqaba, including bed and breakfast.
