2-Day Petra & Wadi Rum Tour from Amman: Bedouin Overnight

A couple of days, multiple UNESCO sites, an overnight under the stars

The experience

Can you see Petra and Wadi Rum in a single trip without rushing through either one? This tour builds the answer around an overnight stay in the desert, which lets you explore Petra fully on day one, then spend the morning of day two on a Jeep tour of Wadi Rum's dunes and canyons before heading to the Dead Sea. The drive from Amman to Petra takes three hours. Once there, you walk the Siq, the narrow sandstone gorge, and see the Treasury and royal tombs at your own pace with your driver. By late afternoon you're heading into Wadi Rum, arriving as the light hits the rock formations, and you sleep in a deluxe tent at a Bedouin camp with a traditional dinner and campfire.

Day two starts with breakfast at camp, then a two-hour Jeep tour through Wadi Rum's landscape: rolling dunes, ancient rock inscriptions, hidden canyons, natural arches. After that comes a four-hour drive to the Dead Sea, where you float in the mineral-rich water, apply a mud bath, and have lunch on the shore. The tour ends with drop-off at your Amman hotel. Your driver speaks English throughout, and the itinerary includes hotel pickup and drop-off, water, and WiFi access.

The overnight in Wadi Rum is the hinge: it's what separates this from a one-day dash through Petra, and it's what makes the Jeep tour on day two feel like exploration rather than a checkbox. You're not racing the clock to catch a sunset or a return transfer. The Bedouin camp is where the desert becomes the point, not just a photo stop between ruins and the car.

Is this one for you?Choose this tour if you want to experience both Petra and Wadi Rum without the pressure of a single-day itinerary. The overnight camp is what makes the desert feel like a destination, not a detour. If you're traveling with young children, specialized infant seats are available. The all-inclusive option bundles entry and resort access, while the other two let you handle those separately if you prefer flexibility on timing or have your own arrangements.

Top questions

What happens at the Bedouin camp overnight? Is it just a tent, or are there facilities?

You stay in a deluxe tent at the Wadi Rum Bedouin camp. The camp provides a traditional Bedouin dinner and a campfire gathering in the evening. The exact facilities beyond the tent are not detailed in the itinerary, so confirm amenities like bathrooms and showers when you book.

Is the Dead Sea time free swimming, or is there a structured activity?

The Dead Sea portion includes time to swim and float in the mineral-rich water, plus a mud bath where you apply the therapeutic mud to your skin. Lunch is provided on the shore, and the afternoon is yours to relax before the drive back to Amman.

Do I need to book the all-inclusive option to get entry tickets to Petra and the Dead Sea resort?

Entry tickets to Petra and Dead Sea resort access are included only if you select the all-inclusive option at checkout. The transportation-and-accommodation option and tour-with-transportation-only option do not include these, so you would need to arrange or purchase them separately.

What's the difference between the three booking options?

All-inclusive covers entry tickets, the deluxe tent, and Dead Sea resort access alongside transport and accommodation. Transportation & Accommodation includes the Bedouin camp and hotel transfers but not entry fees or the resort. Tour with Transportation Only provides the driver and vehicle but no accommodation, so you'd need to arrange your own lodging or book a different product.
