Description of Highlights of Jordan holiday
On this eight day highlights of Jordan tour you’ll take in the country’s top sights. After touring the historical highlights of Amman, you’ll head for Jerash, one of the world's best preserved Roman provincial cities. Then it’s on to Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, where you’ll have a full day to explore its many treasures.
The next day is spent in Wadi Rum, where you’ll take a jeep tour through the desert and have the opportunity to ride a camel, should you choose. You’ll be camping out in the desert and can either spend the night in a tent, or sleep on a mattress outside underneath the silence of a starry sky. Aqaba is the next destination, with its stunning beaches, fantastic snorkelling and crusaders castle.
After touring all of Jordan’s highlights, you get to spend a well deserved day at the Dead Sea. Here you may float in the salty waters or try out a pampering spa treatment. Being at the lowest point on earth is a unique experience; you can't swim in the water no matter how hard you try!

The most memorable was the visit to Petra and Wadi Rum. Lived up to our expectations an would thoroughly recommend it to this who want to maximise there time in Ammna, although adding a few extra days would make the trip even more enjoyable, to give you a little relaxation time.

It was all very good. The trip was put together very quickly and we travelled as a couple rather than a small group. Read full reviewReviewed on 22 Apr 2018 by Mariam Amode
Petra and wadi rum camp was special but we enjoy the whole tour it was beyond our expectations. Very good, the guide was great, advised and supported us. We really appreciated it. Read full reviewReviewed on 31 Oct 2017 by Julia Smith
The desert at Wadi Rum, jeep safari and overnight in a Bedouin camp - not touristy as I had feared! The people were unbelievably friendly and helpful - and not just looking for a tip as in some countries such as Egypt. That was a refreshing change. Read full reviewResponsible Travel

Planet
When you book this trip you get to experience the silence of the desert. One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to the protected area of Wadi Rum. The area covers 720 km 2 of dramatic desert wilderness in the South of Jordan. Wadi Rum is also described by T.E. Lawrence as a "vast, echoing moon like landscape".There is a lot of wildlife in Wadi Rum, but visitors often don't see them all. Besides birds, insects and reptile there are also large species such as the Arabian Oryx. However, the Arabian Oryx and other species, are reduced to very low numbers. That is one of the reasons why the protected area exists now. Conservation fees are included in your entry ticket. The more visitors, the more fees will be available to conserve this stunning desert and its creatures.
A major conservation program is on the way to tackle some challenging environmental problems. To contribute our local guides and drivers ask you kindly to follow the rules and regulations and do all you can to respect the site and its people. This includes leaving no waste behind.
People
By visiting Wadi Rum you will not only help with conserving the protected area, you will also help the people living in and around Wadi Rum. We make sure that for your desert experience only local people are hired.Virtually all the people living in and around Wadi Rum are of Bedouin origin and, until recently, led nomadic lives relying on their goat herds. We work with the people who live in Rum Village, the only village located inside the protected area. The services they organise (such as jeep and camel tours), are organised through the Rum Tourism Cooperative. This is a locally-run society that shares the tourism between the villagers. So everyone benefits in an equal way which stimulates and encourages the interaction with tourists. And it also prevents jealousy and other possible negative problems.
You will be meeting some real local Bedouins on your desert experience, they will guide you and show you the most impressive places of the desert.
