From the Ancient Treasury of Petra to the Red Sea Coast

Jordan packs an extraordinary variety of history and landscapes: UNESCO World Heritage sites, pristine Roman ruins, the majestic desert of Wadi Rum, and the warm waters of Aqaba. Read through our guides and select your favorite stops to form a customized route.

Petra

Carved into rose-red rock, Petra is one of the world's most compelling archaeological landscapes. The Nabataeans settled here more than two thousand years ago and built a prosperous trading city supported by sophisticated water systems. The experience usually begins through the Siq, a narrow sandstone gorge that opens dramatically onto the Treasury. Beyond it, trails lead to the Street of Facades, theatre, Royal Tombs and the Monastery, with a new perspective around every bend. Comfortable walking shoes and enough time make a real difference. Petra works beautifully as a full-day visit or as part of a private Petra and Wadi Rum journey.

Wadi Rum

A vast desert of sandstone mountains, natural arches and open valleys, Wadi Rum is often called the Valley of the Moon. UNESCO recognizes it as a mixed World Heritage site for both its natural drama and cultural record.

Dead Sea

The Dead Sea

At the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea combines an extraordinary landscape with a form of relaxation found nowhere else. Its high salinity makes floating effortless, while its mineral-rich water and mud have supported wellness traditions for centuries.

Jerash

Jerash preserves one of the region's most complete Roman-era cityscapes. Beyond Hadrian's Arch, the broad Oval Plaza is framed by columns, while the Cardo leads toward temples, theatres and public squares.

Aqaba is Jordan's window onto the Red Sea, combining warm weather, beaches and marine activities with easy access to Wadi Rum. Clear Gulf waters and coral reefs support swimming, snorkelling, diving and boat trips.

Ajloun

Ajloun Castle

Ajloun Castle crowns a green hill overlooking the valleys of northern Jordan. Built in the twelfth century as part of a strategic defensive network, its towers, passages and stone chambers feel distinctly different from Jordan's desert landscapes.
