Petra and Wadi Rum Tour Two Days – One Night
Overview
Experience two of Jordan’s most legendary destinations on this seamless two-day private expedition. Departing from Amman, you will journey south to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage site carved into the rose-red stone over 2,000 years ago. After walking the dramatic canyon of the Siq and uncovering the secrets of the Treasury and the Royal Tombs, the journey continues to the breathtaking “Valley of the Moon” — Wadi Rum.
As the sun begins to set over the golden and deep-red sands of Wadi Rum, you will settle into a traditional Bedouin camp. Enjoy a classic Zarb dinner slow-cooked beneath the desert sand, and spend the night under a canopy of stars. The next morning, embark on an exhilarating 4WD Jeep safari to explore the dramatic landscapes famously featured in Lawrence of Arabia and Dune before enjoying a relaxing, private transfer back to Amman.
