Jordan: Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea

About the tour

Once a month on the second Tuesday; we do not go in summer because of the heat. We fly to Amman with a connection in Istanbul. Petra gets a full day: the Siq, the Treasury, the royal tombs and, for those who want it, the climb of about 800 steps to the Monastery. The night in Wadi Rum is at a desert camp, and the trip ends at the Dead Sea. The visa is issued at the border, and its fee is covered by the Jordan Pass included in the price.

What you will see

The team

From people who went

• Giving Petra a whole day was right: we climbed to the Monastery without rushing. The night in the Wadi Rum tent was cold, and they brought blankets. With the Jordan Pass we paid nothing at the border.
