The second day takes you to the Dead Sea, 400 meters below sea level, before returning to Amman. Hotel pickup and drop-off, meals, and an air-conditioned vehicle are included. Entry fees to sites are not.

The experience

The tour departs Amman and travels south 139 miles to Petra, the ancient Nabatean city carved into stone more than 2,000 years ago. You walk the narrow Siq pathway to reach the Treasury (al-Khazneh), the monumental entrance carved directly into the rose-red rock face. After exploring Petra, you drive to Wadi Rum in the afternoon for a 2-hour 4WD jeep tour across the desert landscape: the same terrain where "Lawrence of Arabia" was filmed. The towering cliffs rise in shades of brown, red and gold from the sand as you travel deeper into the valley.

You spend the night in a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum. Accommodation is in a deluxe tent or bubble tent (your choice depending on which option you select) with air conditioning and a private bathroom. The tent sleeps up to three people. Dinner and evening activities are part of the camp experience, and breakfast is served the next morning before you leave.

On day two, you drive to the Dead Sea, located 400 meters below sea level. The mineral-rich water makes floating effortless. You can choose to swim and have lunch at a Dead Sea resort for an additional fee paid to your driver. Afterward, you return to Amman by mid-afternoon. The entire tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off from Amman, lunch on day one, an air-conditioned vehicle, water and Wi-Fi on board, and the 4WD jeep tour in Wadi Rum.

Is this one for you?Choose the private tour option if you want the flexibility to set your own pace at Petra and control the group size. The shared tour works better if you prefer to split costs and don't mind traveling with other visitors. Either way, the overnight camp and included meals mean you're not arranging accommodation or figuring out where to eat in the desert.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Do we actually float in the Dead Sea or just visit it?

Swimming and floating in the Dead Sea is optional and costs an additional 40 USD per person, paid in cash to your driver. This fee includes lunch at a Dead Sea resort. If you choose not to swim, you still visit and see the water, but the floating experience requires the extra fee.

What is the Bedouin camp like and what happens there at night?

The Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum provides a deluxe tent or bubble tent (depending on your option) with air conditioning and a private bathroom, sleeping up to three people. Dinner is served at the camp and evening activities are included, though the itinerary does not detail what those activities are.

Is a guide included or do we explore on our own?

The tour is guided. A guide is not listed in the inclusions, so confirm whether a local guide is part of your selected option at checkout, as this varies between the shared and private tour options available.

What do we need to bring and what documents are required?

Bring a passport or ID card, comfortable clothes and shoes, and a towel. The operator recommends a Jordan Pass for site entry, as entry fees to Petra and the Dead Sea are not included in the tour price and must be paid separately.

How far is Petra from Amman and how much driving is involved?

Petra is 139 miles (225 kilometers) south of Amman. Day one includes the drive to Petra, exploration of the site, then a drive to Wadi Rum for the 2-hour 4WD jeep tour. Day two is the drive from Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea and back to Amman, all in an air-conditioned vehicle.
