Itinerary

Amman Dead Sea

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: Hotel Khan Khediwe (or similar)

We drive north to Jerash this morning, the largest Roman ruins in Jordan. Buried for centuries under blown sand, the ancient architecture here is remarkably well preserved and an exploration of the dramatic oval forum, colonnaded main streets, two theatres and impressive Temple of Zeus provides a fascinating insight into life in the ancient world.

After a good look around, we head back to Amman for a city tour, which takes in the hilltop ruins of the Citadel, a site occupied by various civilisations from the Bronze Age, plus the 6,000-seat Roman amphitheatre and the old city.

Accommodation: Hotel Khan Khediwe (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Today is a long driving day as we head down the King’s Highway, which takes us up and down huge wadis (valleys). However, we have several stops of interest en route including Madaba, where we visit St George’s Church to admire its mosaic floor, considered the oldest map of Palestine in existence.

We then make the short drive to Mount Nebo, where, from this 2,295ft (700m) high viewpoint overlooking the Dead Sea to Palestine and Israel beyond, Moses is said to have first seen the Promised Land. It’s then to the magnificent fortified town of Kerak, a Crusader stronghold dominated by a medieval castle.

Further south, we reach Petra, the premier historic site in Jordan and one of the most outstanding ancient cities in the world.

Accommodation: Petra hotel – see accommodation section for more detail

Meals included: Breakfast

Enjoy two days exploring Petra, an ancient Nabatean city carved spectacularly into sandstone cliffs. Building started here in the third century BCE, but the Red Rose City was hidden for centuries until Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered it in 1812.

To enter, we walk down a narrow chasm known as the Siq. Dramatically unveiled at the end is El Khazneh (the Treasury), the first breathtaking sight of a remarkable day. Continuing to the city centre, we pass the houses and tombs of the rich citizens and the remarkable scale of the site begins to unveil itself. You can also take the optional walk up the 800 or so steps to El Deir (the Monastery), with its superb facade topped by a huge urn.

On the second day, your guide takes you into the site for either a hike up to the High Place of Sacrifice or for free time to explore the city further. Only a few people attempt to visit the High Place as it can be quite arduous and is not recommended for those who are unsure of their fitness or are uncomfortable with heights. However, those who do make it to the top are rewarded with wonderful views over parts of the site visited on the previous day.

On one of the evenings, you may also have the opportunity to dine at a family home in Wadi Musa, eating traditional Jordanian dishes that you wouldn’t typically find in restaurants. The host normally eats with the group, an excellent chance to gain firsthand insight into the local life and culture in an authentic setting.

Accommodation: Petra hotel – see accommodation section for more detail

Meals included: Breakfast

This morning, we have the option to take a guided tour through Little Petra (extra cost, payable locally) or you can relax at our hotel before we join the modern Desert Highway and head south to Wadi Rum. The purpose of Little Petra is not clear; however, archaeologists believe it was probably a suburb of Petra where visiting traders on the Silk Road may have stayed.

It’s then to the UNESCO-listed Wadi Rum, where dramatic sandstone mountains rise from the sandy desert floor. It was here that Lawrence of Arabia and Prince Faisal assembled the Arab tribes for the attack on Aqaba in the First World War and where sections of the 1962 epic film were shot.

After we’ve checked into our private Exodus camp, our Bedouin hosts take us for an approximately two-hour 4×4 ride to explore the protected area. We visit the highlights, have time to sample Bedouin tea, and then watch the sunset from the vantage point of a rock formation. We then return to our camp, where we enjoy Bedouin hospitality with a traditional zarb dinner, which is cooked underground. After, we learn about Bedouin culture through interacting with the family who run the camp.

Accommodation: Exodus private camp (permanent Bedouin camp)

Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner

Wake in dramatic desert scenery and then head to Aqaba, a port and resort by the Red Sea, best known for having beautiful coral reefs. Upon arrival, we sink into the sands of Baranice Beach with three to four hours to relax and enjoy the sea before hotel check in.

Around 4pm-5pm, we join the tour leader for a walking tour of the old market, continuing to Aqaba Castle for a guided tour to uncover its historical significance and role in the Arab Revolt.

We learn more about the Arab Revolt at the neighbouring Bait Al Sharif Hussein bin Ali Museum, before an optional dinner at Dar Ne’meh, a community initiative empowering local women by providing training and helping them to build their own businesses.

After dinner and free time, we can either walk or drive back to the hotel.

Accommodation: Lacosta Hotel (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Leaving the Red Sea, we transfer (4hr 30min) to the Dead Sea, where salt levels of around 34 percent keep you effortlessly afloat. There’s plenty of free time to experience this extraordinary phenomenon and to cover yourself with the Dead Sea mud, which is said to have healing powers, before cooling off in the swimming pool.

There’s also the chance to visit Bethany Beyond the Jordan, said to be the site of Jesus Christ’s baptism by John the Baptist, a moment marking the new era of Christianity. This is an optional trip that can be booked and paid for locally. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the Dead Sea hotel and the entire visit usually lasts 1hr 45min, including the drive to/from the hotel. Those who do not wish to visit the site will check into the hotel.

This evening, we have a group dinner to celebrate our time in Jordan and say our farewells.

Accommodation: Holiday Inn Dead Sea (or similar)
Upgrade to a sea-view room overlooking the Dead Sea today – speak to your sales representative for more details

Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner

Breakfast marks our final meal, an excellent chance to reminisce about an adventure packed with excitement. To make your return journey home easier, there’s a free shared transfer back to the airport. Alternatively, if you’d like further days to relax by the Dead Sea, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay.

Meals included: Breakfast

Essential Info

Is this trip for you?

This trip is rated Activity Level 2 (Easy & Moderate). For more information on our trip gradings please visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to contact us.

Although this is a cultural trip, some days (such as those in Petra) can be long and tiring. To do the optional 800 or so steps up to the Monastery or the climb to the High Place of Sacrifice, you should have a reasonable level of fitness. Your leader can provide further advice about these hikes. It is not advisable to visit the High Place of Sacrifice if you suffer from vertigo, as there are some very steep, narrow steps and cliffs. The leader will show where the route to the High Place of Sacrifice starts but does not accompany people wishing to take this route.

Wadi Rum camping: Although the campsite has plumbed toilets and showers, they are basic and hot water may be limited. Our private Exodus camp is, however, often a highlight for guests.

Petra accommodation: Demand for rooms near Petra is extremely high. Over the years, we have built relationships with several accommodations, which allows us to secure spots even during peak season. The limited amount of accommodation and high demand can result in varying quality in both the accommodation and service. However, we stay at these hotels as they are well-located for our trip to Petra.

Following a review of all our trips we have categorised this trip as generally not suitable for persons of reduced mobility. However if you are a regular traveller on such trips, please contact customer services to discuss the trip and your personal condition.

Joining Instructions

Key information

Recommended arrival time: Hotel check-in is from 2pm
Airport: Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)

Getting to the start hotel

The start hotel is approximately 40 minutes’ drive from the airport. Exodus provides free arrival transfers to the start hotel from the airport for all customers. Please note, unless specified otherwise, the transfer will be to the start (or pre-tour) hotel on the date on which the tour starts; transfers to other hotels in the same city and/or on different dates may attract an extra charge. Transfers should be booked with your sales representative at least two weeks before the tour starts.

Catching your return flight

Exodus provides a single timed free transfer from the final hotel to the airport on departure day to align with a flight to London, UK. You may use this if travelling on other flights but check the timings with us before you book to see if it is suitable for you. If you book post-tour accommodation with Exodus in Madaba, we can arrange free drop-off as a stop on the group transfer. If arranging a post-tour stay in Amman, a private transfer at additional cost is needed, either from the Dead Sea or Amman airport. On departure, a transfer from Madaba or Amman to the airport would be at extra cost.

Please speak to your sales representative for more information on arrival and departure transfers.

Full joining instructions including local emergency numbers will be sent to you as part of our Final Joining Instructions. If you do not receive these at least a week before departure, or require them earlier please contact our office or your travel agent.

Location start: Amman
Location end: Dead Sea

Vaccinations and Health

Jordan

There are no required vaccinations. However, you may want to consider vaccinations for tetanus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies and typhoid. Please confirm all requirements with your doctor or travel clinic.

Passport

Jordan passport information

It is essential that we have your full passport details at least two weeks before the start of your trip (or at the time of booking for late bookings). This is required for the free visa (see below for eligibility details) and additionally, has to be supplied in advance to the tourism police, hotels and sights we’ll be visiting. If we are not provided with accurate passport information in advance, problems may be encountered during the trip and you may incur extra costs.

Visa

Jordan

Visas are required by most nationalities and can be obtained at the border or Amman airport.

We will arrange a free visa (usually 40 Jordanian dinars) for travellers booking a tour and any pre-tour arrangements through us, provided we receive full passport and flight details at least two weeks before arrival.

You will need to pay for the visa if we do not have these details two weeks before arrival or you are making your own pre-tour arrangements (ie extra nights before the tour that are not booked through Exodus).

Our airport representative will meet and assist you with obtaining the free visa on arrival in Jordan at Customs & Immigration. They will be carrying an Exodus sign.

Food & Drink

All breakfasts and two dinners are included on this trip.

When not half board, we usually eat in local restaurants and the leader arranges bookings for those in the group who would like to join. We suggest you budget around 20 Jordanian dinars (US$28) per person per non-included meals. If you are vegetarian, please note that main meals are limited in choice; however, meze is almost always available in restaurants and is a good, filling vegetarian choice. There is a good choice of seafood available when at the Red Sea. At the Wadi Rum camp, we enjoy a traditional dinner called zarb, which is cooked underground. This consists of rice with a selection including chicken, lamb and vegetables. Vegetables are cooked separately from the meat.

Alcoholic drinks: Alcohol is available in Jordan, but not widely. Many hotels do not sell alcohol but often allow it to be brought in from elsewhere. It is best to plan if you’ll 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

October to November and March to April are very popular in Jordan as it is cooler, around 24C (75F) in the day and down to 8C (46F) at night. Rain is more likely, but protracted bad weather is unlikely. It is hot and dry, but not unpleasant, throughout Jordan in the summer. Daytime maximum temperatures are around 32C (89F) in Amman. Jerash temperatures are the same.

Wadi Rum is around 30C (86F) on average in summer, though it can get as high as 40C (104F). It is usually cooler (30C/86F) at night. In winter, it is much cooler and can get as low as 10C (50C) during the day. In the evening, it can hit freezing point. There are occasions when there is rain or even snow in the desert. If weather conditions require, we may need to modify the itinerary or the camp location for your comfort and safety.

Aqaba is very hot when the air is still, but there is usually a breeze. Rain is unusual but possible.

The Dead Sea air temperatures vary from around 14C (57F) in winter up to 37C (98F) in summer. The water temperature doesn’t drop below 20C (68F).

As with many countries in the world, seasons can go on longer than usual so it is advisable to always check the weather of the country you are travelling to a week or two before your trip so you can pack appropriately.

Hotels and a private Bedouin camp

On this Jordan adventure, we stay in a range of accommodations: a three-star hotel in downtown Amman, a modest but well-located hotel in Petra, and an unforgettable stay in a simple Bedouin camp in the desert. We end in style, relaxing in a five-star hotel by the Dead Sea. Below are the accommodations typically used on this trip.

Upgrade to a sea-view room overlooking the Dead Sea on Day 8 of the itinerary – speak to your sales representative for more details.

Amman: Hotel Khan Khediwe (nights 1 & 2)

A Week in Jordan

In Amman, we usually stay at Khan Khediwe, a three-star hotel in the bustle of downtown Amman. It’s ideally placed for our adventures, close to a market and within walking distance of the Roman amphitheatre and shopping areas.

Petra: Hotel in Wadi Musa (nights 3-5)

A Week in Jordan

We spend three nights in Wadi Musa, the town adjacent to Petra. Demand for rooms near Petra is very high; over the years, we have built relationships with several accommodations, which allows us to secure spots even during peak season. The hotels are modest but well located. Some are within walking distance of the main entrance to the Red Rose City, others are no more than a 10-minute transfer away. Places we stay include Edom Hotel, Petra Plaza, Petra Palace, Amra Palace and La Maison among others.

Wadi Rum: Exodus Private Camp (night 6)

A Week in Jordan

Used exclusively by our groups, this permanent Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum is a highlight for many travellers. We sleep in simple, traditional tents sheltered by rugged stone cliffs and enjoy the warm hospitality of our Bedouin hosts. In the evening, they serve us a zarb dinner, cooked underground in the traditional manner, while the rest of the night is typically spent around the campfire, chatting and sharing an unforgettable experience.

Aqaba: Lacosta Hotel (night 7)

A Week in Jordan

In the heart of modern Aqaba, the four-star Lacosta Hotel is within easy reach of shops, restaurants and the Red Sea. The rooms come with furniture and beds from the Middle East, while the hotel also has a gym and restaurant.

Dead Sea: Holiday Inn Dead Sea (night 8)

A Week in Jordan

A standout stay for many is the Holiday Inn at the Dead Sea. Checking into this five-star property allows us to kick back and relax, perhaps in one of the many pools or with a float in the salty Dead Sea waters from the private beach. There’s also a free-to-use gym and a selection of excellent restaurants and bars.

Worth knowing

Demand for accommodation in Wadi Musa (Petra) is high; this can create problems with hot water and plumbing. In general, the accommodation is more basic compared to the rest of Jordan.
Single supplements are available for this trip but are not applicable at Wadi Rum.
If you are looking for a higher standard of accommodation, you may be interested in our Kingdoms of Jordan Premium Adventure, which follows a similar itinerary and stays at premium accommodation.

Do yourself a favour, book the trip to Jordan. You won't regret it.

Jordan is an incredible country filled with breathtaking landscapes, delicious food, and welcoming people.

There is no better way to get to know a country than by talking to its people. Our group was privileged to have Amer with us. Amer is a skilled storyteller and a encyclopedia of knowledge. He encouraged us to ask questions and didn’t shy away from providing honest answers. Beyond his historical knowledge, Amer has a deep love for his country. He is proud to be Jordanian and that passion radiates in every conversation and in every place we visited. I count myself very fortunate to have experienced Jordan through Amer’s eyes.

I am a seasoned traveler and Jordan is one of my top three favourite trips ever. I encourage anyone who has thought about visiting Jordan to book the trip now. You won’t regret it.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group was privileged to have Amer with us. Amer is a skilled storyteller and a encyclopedia of knowledge. His history lessons were detailed and he pushed us to rethink what we, as Westerners, have been taught about the Middle East. He encouraged us to ask questions and didn’t shy away from providing honest answers. Beyond his knowledge of history, Amer has a deep love for his country. He is proud to be Jordanian and that passion radiates in every conversation, in every place we visited, in all the lessons he gave us. I count myself very fortunate to have experienced Jordan through Amer’s eyes.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I have never felt safer traveling than I have in Jordan. I walked the busy streets of Amman’s downtown at 11:30 pm alone and wasn’t looking over my shoulder or holding on to my bag too tightly, as I do in many North American cities. I left my bag with phone and wallet on lounge chairs as I swam in the Red Sea and the Dead Sea with no reservation.

Wonderful holiday

What an amazingly beautiful country Jordan is. I would encourage anyone to visit. The tour took in a wide range of activities- history and religion, beautiful vistas and walks, local experience such as a hammam and meal with family (many were concerned this may feel exploitive but in truth you dinned as you would in a restaurant and was a nice alternative) . The drive round the desert was breathtaking, and sitting by a camp fire as the skies darkened in Wadi Rum memorable. The tour was not unduly fast paced allowing for down time – which for me is essential as a break from work. Jordan felt safe and welcoming – sadly empty because of conflict that doesn’t really touch Jordan (for tourists ) despite its proximity – so both wonderful to have places like Petra to oneself (almost) but heartbreaking to see the impact on a country and it’s people.

Most Inspirational Moment

The whole trip was one inspiring moment after the other, so hard to have a highlight. A varied well paced tour with lots of different activities - but optional extras could be declined if so wished by any traveller, allowing you to tailor your trip to your preferences.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Amer , couldn't have been better. His passion and love for his country shone through as he shared his stories and history about all of the sites we visited. He integrated into the group so well, putting a bunch of strangers at their ease and facilitating the group's cohesion. I particularly liked that he would share his knowledge and insight of a place and then allow us to explore in our own time - so you could do something at your pace and choice without feeling you were on a school outing. He encouraged us to remember our fellow travelers and that each of us would want different things and go at different paces. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would encourage a visitor to arrive a day early to enjoy wandering round the markets in Amman (hotel well placed in downtown for this). If you are debating whether to go or not - do book - you won't regret it! Don't pack binoculars - they will hold up your luggage, may be confiscated or held by hotel whist you stay. More hassle then its worth

Private Family tour Week in Jordon 20th-28th Sept.2025

We had the most incredible private family tour in Jordan from 20th – 28th September 2025 with a group of 12, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything was exceptionally well organized, and the whole journey flowed smoothly from start to finish.

Our host Abdullah was outstanding — warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He was with us every step of the way, always making sure we were comfortable, while also giving us plenty of free time to explore and enjoy things at our own pace. That balance made the trip feel relaxed yet rich with experiences. Traveling with 12 family members could have been complicated, but with Abdullah, it was effortless.

The hotels were first-class throughout — clean, modern, and very comfortable. Each one felt like the perfect place to recharge after an adventurous day.

The itinerary was perfectly paced and covered the very best of Jordan:

Amman – We started in the capital, exploring its history, culture, and vibrant city life.

Jerash – The ancient Roman ruins were breathtaking and gave us a real sense of Jordan’s heritage.

Madaba & Mount Nebo – The mosaics and biblical history were fascinating, and the views were unforgettable.

Petra – Truly the highlight of the trip! Walking through the Siq and seeing the Treasury for the first time was magical. Exploring the vast site at our own pace made it even more special.

Wadi Rum – The desert landscapes were surreal. Our jeep tour and time under the stars in the desert were unforgettable family moments.

Aqaba – We enjoyed time by the Red Sea, relaxing and soaking up the sunshine.

The Dead Sea – Floating in the salt water was an incredible experience and the perfect way to unwind at the end of the trip.

Every stop was memorable, and having Abdullah to guide us with insight and care made it all the more meaningful.

Jordan is a spectacular country, but what made this trip truly exceptional was the personal touch, flexibility, and hospitality we experienced. It felt like so much more than just a tour — it was a family adventure filled with warmth, learning, and unforgettable memories.

Jordan in a week

The trip started out as a bit of a disaster as Royal Jordanian airways had to divert to Cairo, due to the current situation between Israel and Iran. That couldn’t be helped . Upon arrival in Amman 12 later, we were met by an Exodus rep.
Because time had been lost there was a lot of catching up to be done.
Out tour guide Mikhled had made some very sensible decisions , and although it had been a very long 36hours, from leaving home, we went straight to some of the most wonderful sights as soon as we got to the hotel.
So in fact, we didn’t miss out on anything because of the diversion.
The hotels were clean, friendly and catered for all our needs. They were centrally located too.
The distance between some locations was a lot, but the coaches were air conditioned and lots of stops on the journeys.
There was only 8people on the trip, and it was great, as everyone got along really well.
Evening meals were not included, however Mikhled, gave us lots of options . being a vegetarian was a bit hit and miss at times, but the starters made up for the main meal. Mikhled took us to some family homes for dinner, and that was very special.
Petra , the main attraction was very quiet due to the “Middle East” situation, which made it all the more enjoyable . It was very hot, so not being busy was ideal. Lots of free time on both days there . Mikhled never rushed us.
The Dead Sea wa amazing, if not a little weird. It certainly needed to be done. A half day of relaxing at The Red Sea was welcomed.
The holiday Inn was amazing, I had the luxury of a “Sea View” room, which was amazing .
Bethany beyond The Jordan was very special to me, however slightly marred by the Military , carrying firearms in such a holy place.
Understandably, as Israel was a stones throw away, but it did ruin it for me.

Bethany Beyond The Jordan

He was amazing. He went above and beyond to help us all, and I left a very special water bottle at Petra, and he used so many contact to get it back. If you get Mikled as a guide, then expect the best

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring lots of cotton clothes and sun cream

Garry Ward

GO! Jordan is totally safe, in fact I felt safer in Jordan than I do in London. The people of Jordan need our support as tourists. Hope that Mikhled is your tour leader. Be prepared for large meals - the Jordanians like to feed people! Take loose comfortable clothing. Take some cat treats - there are dozens of friendly cats. Mind the salt in your eyes in the Dead Sea.
