Jordan 4-Day Private Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead SeaYou'll spend four days moving through Jordan's major sites: Mount Nebo and its Byzantine mosaics, the red-rose city of Petra with its carved tombs and the Siq canyon, a 2.5-hour jeep ride through Wadi Rum's desert landscape with a Bedouin driver, one night floating in the Dead Sea, and the Baptism Site on the Jordan River before returning to Amman. Your private air-conditioned vehicle and English-speaking driver handle all transfers, and you stay two nights in Petra and one at the Dead Sea.Is it for me?Best for travelers who want to see Jordan's major attractions — Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, and the Baptism Site — without arranging transport, guides, or timing between sites. The private vehicle means no group waits, and the fixed itinerary keeps four very different landscapes inside four days.
Jerash, Ajloun Castle & Umm Qais: Full-Day Tour from AmmanA full-day tour from Amman covering Umm Qais (Greco-Roman city with views of the Sea of Galilee), Ajloun Castle (12th-century Islamic fortress), and Jerash (one of the world's best-preserved Roman provincial cities). The tour includes hotel pickup, private air-conditioned transport, bottled water and an English-speaking driver; admission fees are separate. The Jordan Pass is recommended for discounted advance entry.Is it for me?The tour packs three major sites into a single day with long drives between them, so it suits travelers with limited time in Jordan who want to see multiple periods of history without organizing separate trips. If you prefer a slower pace or want to linger at one site, a multi-day itinerary would work better.
Wadi Rum: Jeep Desert Highlights Tour with Bedouin TeaYou’ll ride through Wadi Rum’s wild landscape by jeep with a local guide, climb red dunes for sweeping views, sip sweet Bedouin tea in shady tents, and either walk through a green canyon or watch sunset paint the desert gold. Expect laughter, sandy shoes, and real moments you’ll remember long after you leave.
Wadi Rum Desert Tour with Lunch & Sunset: Private 4x4A full-day private 4x4 tour of Wadi Rum's main valley and outer sites, with a local guide, lunch prepared in the shade, and sunset viewing.

Wadi Rum entrance fee is paid separately at the Visitor Centre.Is it for me?Book this private 4x4 if you want to see both the main valley sites and the outer canyons in one day—the guide drives and cooks lunch, so you can spend as long as you need at each stop without coordinating logistics yourself.
Wadi Rum Half-Day Jeep Tour: Rock Bridges & PetroglyphsYou’ll ride through Wadi Rum’s wild valleys by 4x4 with a local guide, scramble up red dunes, trace ancient petroglyphs in Khazali Canyon, and walk quiet canyons on your own. Expect warm sand underfoot and stories from your driver—plus plenty of time just listening to desert silence that stays with you long after.

2-Day Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea Tour from AmmanA 2-day guided tour from Amman visits the rock-carved ancient city of Petra, includes a 2-hour 4WD jeep tour through Wadi Rum's rose-red desert landscape, and overnight accommodation in a Bedouin camp with dinner and breakfast. 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.Is it for me?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.

Private transportation and bottled water are included; entrance fees to sites are separate.Is it for me?Book the half-day tour if you're in Amman for an afternoon and want the main landmarks without a full commitment; choose the full-day Amman route to add the museum and street life; pick Jerash if you want to walk a major Greco-Roman site, or Madaba if Byzantine mosaics and Mount Nebo appeal more.

Choose this if you want to dive without committing a full afternoon, or if you're testing the water before booking a longer dive elsewhere.

Camel rides of 30, 60 or 120 minutes can be added for extra cost, and overnight stays in a traditional Bedouin camp with dinner and breakfast are available as an option.Is it for me?Choose the 9am departure if you want the full daylight for climbing and photography; choose the 2pm departure if you prefer to watch the sunset at Um Sabatah around a campfire. Add a camel ride if you want to experience the desert from a different vantage, or stay overnight in the Bedouin camp if you want to spend more time in Wadi Rum and learn about how the al Zalahbieh tribe lives in the desert.
