Day 1: Amman – Petra: 3 hours driving from Amman
Your tour begins with a 3-hour drive from Amman, departing South toward the Nabatean Red Rose City of Petra which is considered one of the Wonders of the World. Petra was carved in stone more than 2000 years ago in order to dominate the trade routes of Ancient Arabia. Visit its towns, dams, and water channels while walking along the narrow siq, a path which is the main entrance to the city. The first thing you will see is the Khazneh, which was believed to hold countless treasures. You will also see other monuments such as The Monastery and the Altar of Sacrifice. In the afternoon you will move towards Wadi Rum, called the Valley of Moon, where the movie Lawrence of Arabia was filmed, and more recently, The Martian. You will spend the night in a Bedouin camp inside Rum Reserve, in a very unique, calm, and quiet spot. Here you will have a traditional Bedouin Dinner and evening activities. (The camp consists of tents with beds, blankets, toilets, dining room, including electricity via solar system)

Day 2: Petra – Wadi Rum and Dead Sea:
After breakfast you will have a short visit of Wadi Rum in a 4×4 Jeep. Wadi Rum is a uniquely-shaped massive mountain that arose among the rose red sand of the desert with towering cliffs of various brown, red, and golden colors. Next, you will make your way toward the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea. Then, you will transfer to the Dead Sea which sits over 1300 ft below sea level. The Dead Sea is one of the most incredible places in the world. It is known for the Biblical Story of the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, which was destroyed by fire and brimstone. The Dead Sea speaks for itself: there are no living fish. It is by far one of Jordan’s most impressive and spectacular places to visit. Its calm, shining water glowing from the scorching sun above, is known for the concentration of salt and minerals that make it therapeutic as well as a unique swimming experience not to be missed. Enjoy some free time to swim before returning to your individual hotels in Amman.
