Itinerary

Occasionally our itineraries are updated during the year to incorporate improvements stemming from past travellers' comments and our own research. The information given in this itinerary may be slightly different to that in the brochure. It's very important that you print and review a final copy of your Essential Trip Information a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans. If you have any queries, please contact your travel agent or our staff. We are here to help you! Please note that while we operate successful trips in this region throughout the year, some changes may occur in our itineraries due to inclement weather and common seasonal changes to timetables and transport routes. This can happen with little notice so please be prepared for modifications to the route. The order and timing of included activities in each location may also vary from time to time.

Day 1 - Amman - Wadi Rum

Welcome to Jordan. This Wadi Rum Independent Experience starts at 9 am. You will be picked up from the Grand Palace Hotel, or from your hotel of choice (if advised prior to departure) before departing for Wadi Rum. Once you arrive at the camp, enjoy lunch and a chance to relax before dinner under the stars.

Day 2 - Wadi Rum

Follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia with a journey to the extraordinary desert scenery of Wadi Rum, a rugged moonscape of huge sandstone mountains (approximately 5 hours). A four-hour jeep safari will take you through some of the most beautiful and sublime desert scenery on the planet. Wadi Rum is full of weird and beautiful lunar-like rock formations, and traces of ancient civilisations can be seen in the many carved inscriptions found throughout the area, from pictographs to Thamudic, Nabataean and Arabic texts. The most enduring monuments in Wadi Rum are those carved by nature – the natural rock bridges, towering rose-coloured sand dunes and scattered rocky peaks. When it's all over, return to the desert camp in the afternoon to relax and unwind before another delicious dinner cooked in an earthen oven by your Bedouin hosts.

Day 3 - Wadi Rum - Amman

After time spent in the incredible landscapes of Wadi Rum, return to the present with a transfer back to Amman. You arrive back at the Grand Palace Hotel in Amman at approximately 4 pm. In the evening, enjoy some free time exploring Amman as you please. Perhaps seek out a delicious ara’yes, a toastie filled with spicy mincemeat, and spend your final night at one of the many bars and restaurants in West Amman. Ask your leader about the traditional cafes dotted around the city where locals spend their evenings.

Day 4 - Amman

Your trip comes to an end today and you are free to depart at any time.
