Overview

Enjoy the adventure of a lifetime with your loved ones in Jordan

Take your family on a time-travelling trip to when Romans roamed and Nabateans built one of the most unusual cities in the world, Petra. Starting with a gladiator show at Jerash, we head south to the mystery-shrouded city of Petra and the Mars-like desert of Wadi Rum (where we stay at a private Exodus camp run by a Bedouin family). At the Red Sea and town of Aqaba, it’s chillout time at a private beach resort. Our adventure ends at the lowest point on earth and with one of the craziest experiences you might ever have – floating in the Dead Sea. The history astounds, the landscapes amaze and the hospitality of the Jordanian people will stay with you long after your trip is over. Jordan has all the ingredients for a great family adventure.

Itinerary

Show All

Day 1: Start Amman
Welcome to Amman, the capital of Jordan, where our adventure begins. There are free transfers to the hotel from Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) for all customers today. Please note, transfers should be booked with your sales representative at least two weeks before the tour starts. Accommodation: Corp Hotel (or similar)
Day 2: Gladiator show; tour the Roman city of Jerash
After breakfast, we take our first steps back in time to the Roman city of Jerash. The Hippodrome and its history come alive with an entertaining gladiator show, where chariots complete circuits in a cloud of dust and Roman soldiers show off their manoeuvres. At the end of the show, you can even get a photo with the actors who are dressed in traditional uniforms and armour. In ancient times, Jerash was a city of great wealth and importance. Settled as a town during the reign of Alexander the Great, it peaked during the period of the Decapolis – a group of 10 great Roman cities on the eastern frontier of their empire. Walking along the well-preserved Roman roads, wandering through the marketplace and climbing the theatre steps is bound to capture the imagination of everyone in the family. After our Roman adventure, we return to Amman for free time and maybe a dip in the hotel pool. Accommodation: Corp Hotel (or similar)
Day 3: To Petra via Mount Nebo and Madaba
Leaving Amman, our first stop is Mount Nebo where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land. Race to the top and take a family photo on this historic spot. Our next stop is the market town of Madaba, famous for its Byzantine-era mosaics, which includes the oldest map of Palestine in existence. Crafted in 560 CE, it depicts all the major Biblical sites of the Middle East from Egypt to Palestine. A visit to a mosaic workshop reveals how these artworks are made. Before leaving Madaba, fill up your water bottle with one of the many delicious fresh local juices. We journey south through deserts and amazing canyons and stop at a high point for wonderful views. We also see fossils and have a picnic lunch. On arrival at Wadi Musa, the gateway to Petra, we have free time to settle into our hotel. Accommodation: Standard hotel – see accommodation section for more detail
Day 4: Explore magical Petra
This morning, we start early to avoid the heat of the day. Maybe your family is too excited to sleep anyway because today is our Indiana Jones adventure into the lost city of Petra. We start our early wandering through the Siq, a natural gateway to one of the most spectacular landmarks in the world. Along the way, we pass djinn blocks – djinn is Arabic for spirits and source of the word genie, so maybe these monoliths can grant wishes! Through a narrow opening in the rock, we get our first glimpse of Al-Khazneh or the Treasury. Featured in the 1989 blockbuster film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the astonishing sites of Petra were brought to the attention of the world. We continue exploring this amazing city, scrambling up hills to find huge tombs and palaces. Winding our way around the hillsides, we stop for a picnic lunch before exploring the colonnaded street and great temple. Heading back along the main street, we re-enter the Siq leaving a magical city that will stay in your memory forever. The rest of the afternoon and evening are free to relax. Accommodation: Standard hotel – see accommodation section for more detail
Day 5: To Aqaba on the Red Sea
After breakfast, we head to Little Petra to climb through cave rooms and explore a much less crowed site. From here, we head to Aqaba, the premier beach resort on the Red Sea. Our hotel has a private white-sand beach, lagoon-style pool and options for watersports and snorkelling. It has several restaurants and is close to the downtown area, home to a small market and more cafes and restaurants. This afternoon is free to relax. As the sun sets, meet up with the tour leader – it’s time to dive into the colourful bazaars and have fun haggling for a souvenir. Accommodation: Beach resort
Day 6: Free time to snorkel, swim, relax in Aqaba or visit Saraya Water Park (optional)
Today you have extra time to enjoy Aqaba or relax on the beach. The pool area of our resort features artistic fountains surrounded by palm trees and there are watersports available, including snorkelling and scuba diving among the amazing Red Sea coral. The hotel also has a spa and wellness centre and a gym so the needs of the whole family are catered for. Your tour leader can arrange fun time on the beach; in the evening, they arrange a group dinner in Aqaba for those who want to join. Saraya Water Park is also near and features more than 25 waterslides and water-drenched versions of Petra and Jerash – it is suitable for children up to 12 years’ old. Prices start from 20 Jordanian dinars (US$28) for adults and 25 dinars (US$35) for children. Please let your tour leader know if you would like to go and they will arrange a taxi for you (approximately 2.15 dinars/US$3 each way). Accommodation: Beach resort
Day 7: Wadi Rum 4x4 adventure; sleep in a desert camp
Leaving the Red Sea, we head into the desert and to our private Exodus camp run by a Bedouin family. There’s a small dune nearby, which is great fun to roll down. Later in the day, we bounce around the dunes in our 4x4s and then scramble up rocks to watch the sunset. This evening, we can stargaze and maybe even meet up with some of the animals that come out at night. Our dinner is cooked the traditional Bedouin way, underground, and there’s a campfire where we can sit and talk. Camping in Wadi Rum is an experience of a lifetime. Accommodation: Permanent Bedouin camp
Day 8: From Wadi Rum to the Dead Sea
We’re up early today to say goodbye to our new Bedouin friends and head to the lowest point on earth: the Dead Sea. Our family-friendly resort has outdoor pools with waterslides and a terrace overlooking the Dead Sea. Have fun floating in the saline waters, rub on the mineral-rich mud for a great family photo and enjoy the swimming pools at the resort. Tonight, get together with the rest of the group to share all the memories of our Jordan adventures over dinner and maybe cement new friendships. Accommodation: Four-star hotel
Day 9: Trip ends at the Dead Sea
The adventure comes to an end this morning and we begin our return journey home. Of course, if you’d like to stay a little longer, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay.

Important Information

The trip destination

Two nights in a five-star resort with a private beach, three nights in a four-star and two nights in comfortable hotels
One night in a private desert camp
Travel by air-conditioned bus and 4×4
Group size: 8 to 20 plus tour leader

Food

All breakfasts, two picnic lunches, a lunch at our Wadi Rum camp, and dinner at our Wadi Rum camp and at the Dead Sea resort are included. When meals are not included, we usually eat in local restaurants. On some occasions, the leader can take those who wish to a restaurant for a mezze-style meal. These allow fast service with a variety of tasty food and usually cost 15-20 dinars (US$19-US$26) per person. If you are vegetarian, main meals are limited in choice; however, mezze is almost always available in restaurants and is a good, filling option. While camping in Wadi Rum, we enjoy a traditional meal called zarb, which is cooked underground. This consists of rice with a selection including chicken, lamb and vegetables. Vegetables will be cooked separate to the meat. It is great fun to see it being dug up and the result is a delicious, hearty meal. Alcohol is available in Jordan, but not widely. Many hotels do not sell alcohol but will often allow it to be brought in from elsewhere. It is best to plan ahead if you want a drink, your tour leader can tell you what’s possible and may be able to arrange a stop at a supermarket or liquor store (depending on location). In Petra, the unique Cave Bar in Petra Guesthouse is open to the public. A less expensive option is the bar in the Petra Palace Hotel which is also open to all.

Weather

Spring and autumn are very popular as it is cooler, around 24C (75F) in the day and 8C (46F) at night. Rain is more likely, but protracted bad weather is unlikely.

Summer (July and August) is hot and dry. Daytime maximum temperatures can reach around 40C (104F) in parts of the itinerary and care needs to be taken to keep hydrated. Rain is unusual but possible.

In winter, it is generally crisp and warm in the day, approximately 10C-15C (50F-59F); however, the desert can approach freezing or below at night. There are even occasions when it snows in Jordan during winter.

Is this trip for you?

This trip is rated Activity Level 2 (Leisurely/Moderate).

The night in Wadi Rum is spent in a private camp with a toilet and shower block. Beds with mattresses, sheets, blankets and pillows are provided. You may like to pack a sheet liner for extra comfort. Although quite basic, a night in the desert is memorable and should be approached with a sense of adventure.

Although this is a cultural trip, some days (such as the one in Petra) are busy. Your tour leader will give you options if your family prefer to take Petra at their own pace and meet up with the group at the end of the day’s tour. There are some long distances to travel although we make comfort stops along the way. It is a good idea to bring books or other entertainment for these journeys. The tour leader will provide commentary during the journeys and try to break up the driving as much as possible.

The food in Jordan can be a little spicy and uses flavours that children may not be used to. Please bear this in mind when ordering in restaurants. It is possible to find food that avoids this but the meals may lack a little variety.

It can be hot in Jordan, please ensure your children are well protected from the sun with sunscreen and hats and that you all keep well hydrated. During winter, warm clothes are needed for mornings and nights.

Ramadan is expected to run from approximately 10 March-10 April 2024 and 28 February-29 March 2025. One of the most important periods in the Islamic calendar, it is a special time to visit a Muslim country. Each evening, the streets empty as people head home to break the fast, followed by an air of festivity upon their return. Our leaders and drivers choose to work at this time so we continue to run trips; however, their energy levels may be slightly lower than normal. Many tourist sites, restaurants and shops will have an amended schedule, but your tour leader will know how to adapt the itinerary to still experience all the inclusions on this trip and maximise your experience during this special time.
