Jordan Itinerary

Considering visiting Jordan, a captivating realm where ancient history blends seamlessly with awe-inspiring landscapes and warm-hearted hospitality? Well, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure as there is a Jordan itinerary for everyone. From history buffs to adventure seekers, beach-goers, and busy metropolitan lovers, there’s literally something for every type of traveler in Jordan.

Nestled in the heart of the Middle East, Jordan boasts a rich cultural heritage dating back millennia. Its historical significance can be traced through iconic landmarks like the legendary Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, as well as the local communities whose traditions go back centuries into history.

Similarly, its remarkably diverse landscape will leave you in awe of Jordan’s natural beauty, which also serves as a playground for adventure seekers with opportunities to sandboard, canyon, scuba dive, and more.

Throughout this blog post, we will guide you through 3 epic Jordan itineraries: 5-day, 7-day, and 10-day. I loved my time in Jordan as a solo female traveler so much, that I’m making it a priority to return with my husband and twin kindergarteners so they can also experience the beauty and culture of Jordan.

Jordan itinerary planning: Essential things to know


Contrary to some people’s beliefs, Jordan offers an endless amount of experiences and adventures. Therefore, some preparation is involved to ensure that you can fit all of your favorite things to do in Jordan into your itinerary while having a smooth and fulfilling experience.

How many days to stay in Jordan?

Jordan made its way to the top of my travel wishlist as Petra was my remaining new wonder of the world and I had a goal to visit all 7 wonders of the world before the age of 40. So when I had to go to Europe for work, 8 months before my 40th birthday, I knew I had to make it to Jordan while I was on that side of the pond. With the requirements of my work travel, I was only able to squeeze in 3 full days in Jordan.

To make the most of my Jordan itinerary, I enlisted the help of a driver. This allowed me to personally experience most of my top things to do in Jordan by traveling on my own schedule and resting while he drove from destination to destination.

If your schedule is more flexible than mines, I personally would recommend a minimum of 5 days in Jordan. This will allow you to see the top things to do in Jordan. However, if you want to go off the beaten path and explore more of the historical and biblical sites, as well as take part in more adventurous experiences, extend your stay in Jordan to 7 or 10 days.

Which International Airport to fly into Jordan?

Jordan has two scheduled (fixed schedule) international airports:

Queen Alia International Airport (AMM)

Queen Alia Internation Aiport is located in Amman and is the main Jordan international airport with over 35 airlines flying to over 50 destinations. The likelihood that you will fly in and out of Queen Alia International Airport is high. It’s about a 30-minute drive from Amman and a 2.5-3 hour drive to Petra.

Aqaba King Hussein International Airport (AQJ)

Aqaba King Hussein International Airport is located in Aqaba, situated in southernmost Jordan. It is the second-largest airport in Jordan serving 10 destinations in 9 countries. The airport is about a 15-minute drive from the city of Aqaba and a 2-hour drive to Petra.

Getting around Jordan

As previously mentioned, using a driver helped me maximize my Jordan itinerary by visiting 4 cities within 3-full days. If you have limited time in Jordan, I’d recommend getting a driver as many of the top things to do in Jordan are a 2-4 hour drive. Don’t spend your limited time or energy waiting on other people or driving yourself from destination to destination.

If your Jordan itinerary allows for more time, you can consider renting a car or taking the JETT bus.

Can tourists drive in Jordan?

Tourists with an international license can travel in Jordan. From my experience riding in Jordan, the roads between cities are relatively smooth and easy to drive, with most signs being in both Arabic and English. There are checkpoints along the highway and entering most hotels, so please observe those policies.

If you plan to drive in Amman, please note that traffic is chaotic. Think New York, on another level. With a lot of stop-and-go, honking, and traffic jams. If you’re not used to driving in this type of traffic, you may want to consider taking an Uber while in Amman.

✔️ Learn more about rental car rates in Jordan ✔️

Is there Uber in Jordan?

Yes, there is Uber in Jordan, specifically in Amman. The local option is Careem. Using Uber or Careem may be an easier option as you can type your address using the Roman alphabet rather than giving a taxi driver the address, although most Jordanian taxis speak English. Do note that the cost of rides with these services tends to be more expensive than a taxi.

Likewise, note that as you get outside of Amman, the availability of Uber and Careem decreases significantly. If you happen to book a ride to a destination outside of Amman, be sure to schedule a return ride in advance.

Is a visa required to enter Jordan?

Yes, US citizens do need a visa when entering Jordan. One can be acquired upon arrival at the airport and most international land border crossings. The Jordan Visa on Arrival cost 40 JD (about $56 USD) for a single entry visa. Stay in Jordan for at least 3 nights? Consider purchasing a Jordan Pass in advance as the visa is included in the cost.

Why do you need the Jordan Pass?

The Jordan Pass allows you to visit over 40 tourist attractions without any additional costs, including Petra. The cheapest Jordan Pass cost 70 JD and includes a 1-day entry to Petra, which normally cost 50 JD. If you’re you are staying in Jordan for at least 3 nights and plan to visit Petra, the Jordan Pass pays for itself, saving you 20 JD.

There are additional levels of the Jordan Pass that will allow you multiple-day entry into Petra.

Additional popular things to do in Jordan included in the Jordan Pass are Jerash, Wadi Rum, Amman Citadel, Karak Castle, Roman Theater Amman, and so many more.

What to wear in Jordan?

Jordan is a traditional Muslim country so striking the delicate balance between being respectful to the local culture and dressing comfortably for yourself is essential. The main guideline I stuck to as traveling in Jordan as a solo female traveler was to cover my shoulders, my knees, and my butt.

Itinerary #1

Jordan 5-Day Itinerary: Petra, Wadi Rum, The Dead Sea, Amman

DayCity
1Petra
2Wadi Rum
3-4Dead Sea
5Amman


Day 1: Petra, Jordan Itinerary

Upon arriving at Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), at 4 AM, my Jordan itinerary immediately began with us taking the 3-hour drive to Petra. My driver recommended that we go to Petra immediately as we would get there soon after it opens (they open at 6 AM), and beat the majority of the crowd and heat (I went in May).

The only way I could pull this adventure off immediately after getting off a red-eye flight is because I had a driver. I slept the majority of the ride.

If possible, I recommend that you do the same, especially if you land in Jordan early in the morning. Going straight to Petra will maximize your Jordan itinerary as you won’t be able to check into most hotels until hours later.

Is Petra worth visiting?

Absolutely! Not only is Petra, the iconic rose-red city carved into the rock cliffs of southern Jordan, one of the seven new wonders of the world, but it’s also absolutely breathtaking, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Visiting Petra is like stepping into a place, where history, beauty, and awe-inspiring architecture meet.

Things to do in Petra

The Siq and Treasury

Upon entering Petra, The Siq, Petra’s ancient main entrance will mesmerize you as you walk through its rock canal that stands over 260 feet high (80 meters) and 525 feet long (160 meters). Along your 30-minute walk through The Siq, your senses will be enveloped in its natural beauty, leaving you with a sense of wonder.

Soon you will reach the iconic Treasury whose grandeur and scale will leave you in awe. If you’re like me, you may think this is where the adventure of Petra ends, when in fact, it’s just beginning.

As you walk past the Treasury, Petra’s expansive archaeological site reveals an array of remarkable structures, including Royal tombs and the Roman Theater. Each structure takes you back in history, giving you a glimpse into the ancient Nabatean culture.

Tour guides aren’t required to visit Petra. However, if you want to better understand what you’re seeing, you may want to get one.

✔️ Learn more about Petra’s History with a Private, Licensed Tour Guide ✔️

The Monastery

To get the full Petra experience, journey up the 850 steps to the Monastery where the viewpoints provide an unparalleled perspective and an opportunity to connect with the raw beauty of the surroundings. Luckily, the journey up can be done slowly with multiple opportunities to grab a cold drink, shop, and/or rest.

Round trip to the Monastery, I walked almost 25,000 steps within a 5-hour timeframe!

The magic of Petra’s ability to transport you back into history while offering a sense of wonder and adventure made visiting Petra worth taking every last step as its beauty, mystery, and timeless appeal is like none other.

Petra by Night

Want an even more magical experience when visiting Petra? Return to Petra on a Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday evening at 20:30 and become engulfed in the magic of this ancient city as you walk through the Sig to the Treasury, illuminated with over 1500 candles.

A licensed tour guide will escort you back to the visitor center around 22:30. Tickets for this unique experience are 17 JD, with children under 10 being free.

Horseback Riding

Explore off the beaten path on horseback the ancient desert trails once used by the Nabateans, Romans, and Bedouins. On this 2-hour journey, you’ll stop at the High Place of Sacrifice as you enjoy the breathtaking views of the ancient city.

Where to Stay Near Petra

instructions:

Petra is located in Wadi Musa, “Valley of Moses”. It is said to be the location where Moses struck water at Ain Musa, which is known as “Moses Spring” or “Moses’ Well” in English. Outside of Petra’s hotels, restaurants, and shops, there are few additional must-see things to do in Wadi Musa (you can stop to see Moses Spring if you’d like).

Thus, it’s recommended that you drive to your next destination, Wadi Rum. This drive will take you about 1.5 hours.

After a red-eye flight, a 3-hour drive to Petra, and 25,000 steps it may be challenging for some to endure the additional drive to Wadi Rum, which is understandable. Below are recommended hotels in Wadi Musa.

Petra Marriott Hotel

Petra Marriott Hotel is a nice, modern hotel in Wadi Musa (Petra) that offers amazing views of the mountain and valley. The food is phenomenal (try the Bedouin dinner), and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Petra Aretas Hotel

Petra Aretas Hotel is a budget-friendly hotel within walking distance of Petra’s visitor center. The staff is beyond welcoming, the accommodations are clean and well-appointed, and the breakfast is complimentary and delicious.

Day 2: Wadi Rum, Jordan Itinerary

The second stop on your Jordan 5-day itinerary is Wadi Rum, Valley of the Moons. This enchanting and mesmerizing desert landscape offers an unparalleled experience with its towering sandstone cliffs and vast red desert plains. Here in Wadi Rum, you will get a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Bedouin people, who have inhabited the region for centuries- from staying in a desert camp to sharing in traditional meals.

Is Wadi Rum worth visiting?

100%
Adding Wadi Rum to your Jordan 5-day itinerary is absolutely worth it. Its dramatic rock formations and over 20,00 inscriptions etched onto the canyon walls transport you into its rich history while leaving you with a sense of profound serenity with its endless landscape of sand and rocks. Be sure to catch the sunset and sunrise as the magic intensifies as the sun illuminates nature’s tapestry.

Beyond the stunning natural beauty of Wadi Rum, the welcoming hospitality of the Bedouin people makes you feel at home. As if you belong. A sense of calmness and peace overtakes you as you slow things down and take in the rich culture that Wadi Rum has to offer.

As you plan your Jordan itinerary, keep in mind that the closer you arrive to the start of check-in, the better. This will allow you more time to experience the magic of Wadi Rum, especially if you’re only staying for 1 evening. Personally, I went straight to Wadi Rum after Petra, checking into my camp around 430. This left only an hour to relax and clean up before my first Wadi Rum experience.

How many days to stay in Wadi Rum?

A 1-2 day stay in Wadi Rum is a perfect addition to your Jordan itinerary. I personally stayed in Wadi Rum for 1 evening, arriving around 430PM and leaving at checkout the next morning, at 10 AM. If I had more time to stay in Jordan, I would’ve loved to stay an additional evening.

Things to do in Wadi Rum

 
There are various ways to explore the beauty, history, and wonder of Wadi Rum. From simply taking in its beauty at your camp or the visitor’s center to booking a tour and getting a more intimate experience with the Valley of the Moons. Below are details of some of the unique things to do in Wadi Rum.

Wadi Rum Visitor Center

To enter the protected area of Wadi Rum, you must stop at the Wadi Rum Visitor Center for entry. If you purchased the Jordan Pass, entry to Wadi Rum is included. If not, entry cost 5 JD for non-residents. Children under 12 are free.

At the visitor center, you’ll receive a stamp to enter the protected area, as well as a map and tour list prices. The price list will help you plan out your Wadi Rum, Jordan itinerary if you haven’t booked anything in advance. It’ll also give you an idea of what the tours should cost to ensure you’re not getting ripped off.

I personally ate at the restaurant at the visitor center. The food was rather tasty and affordable. Inside the have posters of the various movies that were filmed in Wadi Rum like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Aladdin, Star Wars: Episode IX- The Rise of Skywalker, The Maritan, and dozens more.

Jeep Tour

If you can only do one of the various things to do in Wadi Rum, Jordan, a Jeep Tour is a must-add to your itinerary. They offer Jeep Tours that can fit into anyone’s Jordan itinerary, from 2 hours to a full day.

Do note that the Jeep Tour may not actually be in a Jeep. It will be in some type of pickup truck with 2 benches attached to the bed of the truck. Here, you’ll be able to take in the beautiful views of the Wadi Rum.

During your tour, you will make multiple stops which may vary depending on the length of the tour you booked. Be prepared to do some climbing on sand dunes in order to take in the full beauty of the landscape. Some stops may include canyons, sand dunes, rock bridges, iconic monuments and inscriptions, and even time to have tea under a traditional Bedouin tent.

Optional Jeep Tour Add-Ons

Jeep Tours not only offer you the opportunity to explore Wadi Rum with a local tour guide but there are also multiple add-on options to customize your Jeep Tour to your personal liking.

Sandboarding

Many Jeep Tour operators offer the option to add sandboarding. There are multiple red sand dunes to sandboard but one of the common places is Al Hasany dunes. Be prepared to climb up the sand dune in order to sandboard in case the truck can’t drive up it.

✔️ Learn more about adding sandboarding to your Wadi Rum Jeep Tour ✔️

Camel Rides

Another potential thing to do on your Jordan Jeep Tour is a camel ride. You can request to add on a camel ride which ranges in time from 30-90 minutes. If your Jordan itinerary doesn’t allow time to do a camel ride during your Jeep Tour, there is an option to do it during your time at Petra.

Hikes/Rock Climbing

Similar to sandboarding and camel rides, hiking and rock climbing are options you can add to your Jeep Tour. It’s not recommended to hike on your own as there is a risk of getting lost in the endless red sand landscape. If you’re looking for a full-day hike, sans a Jeep Tour, check out this one.

✔️ Prefer a full-day Wadi Rum hiking experience, check out this one ✔️

Horseback Riding

Imagine taking in the mesmerizing beauty of Wadi Rum, on horseback. Tours range from 3 hours to a full day, with some including an overnight experience. Get more details here as you have to reach out to the company to book your tour.

Watch Sunset/Sunrise

You can not go to Wadi Rum without experiencing the magic that takes over Wadi Rum during a sunset or sunrise. Be sure to sit outside, in the sand, and bask in the extraordinary allure of the sun illuminating the stunning natural beauty of Wadi Rum.

Where to stay in Wadi Rum

An overnight stay in a Wadi Rum Bedouin campsite is a unique thing to do in Jordan, and in my opinion, a must as it was one of the highlights of my Jordan itinerary. It’s something magical about viewing the serene landscape from your bed.

Most campsites feature a Martian dome tent that gives you a panoramic view of the gorgeous landscape. Others also include panoramic tents, which aren’t as large as the Martian dome tent but the view is just as gorgeous.

No matter where you choose to book, do so as soon as possible as many camps sell out, especially the Martian dome and panoramic tents.

Luxury Wadi Rum Campsite

Memories Aicha Luxury Camp

Experience the timeless landscape of Wadi Rums’ natural beauty in a glass-style Martian dome or panoramic luxury suite. Memories Aicha Luxury Camp offers some of the most beautiful suites in Jordan’s desert and the food is delicious.

Sun City Camp

Similar to Memories Aicha Luxury Camp, Sun City Camp is one of the most luxurious campsites in Wadi Rum providing spotless Martian domes with breathtaking views of the desert. The food buffets offer a variety of delicious food that can fit most dietary needs. This is where I had initially booked to stay, but due to a schedule mixup, I was unable to make my reservation.

Budget-Friendly Wadi Rum Campsite

View from Luxury Rum Magic panoramic tent


Luxury Rum Magic

A lower-cost campsite option is Luxury Rum Magic. Due to a mix-up in booking dates, I stayed here in one of their panoramic tents. It included a beautiful view, a private bathroom, and a nice breakfast and dinner buffet. For half the price of the Sun City Camp booking, it was worth the money.

Day 3-4: Dead Sea, Jordan Itinerary


Nestled between Jordan and Israel, the Dead Sea is a natural wonder unlike any other on Earth as its high salt content and buoyancy allow you to float along its tranquil waters. Throughout history, its therapeutic waters have drawn people to it. Plus, sitting at over 1400 feet UNDER sea level, makes it the lowest point on earth.

Is the Dead Sea worth visiting?

The Dead Sea is worth visiting and should be added to your Jordan itinerary. This is especially true for those who have an interest in experiencing attractions visited by mankind through history and the bible. As well as those who are intrigued by the surreal and unparalleled floating sensation and healing properties of its mineral-rich water and mud.

A visit to the Dead Sea is not just about experiencing its unique properties; it’s about immersing yourself in a transformative encounter with nature that connects you with history.

There are so many unique things to do near the Dead Sea, Jordan that it’s worth staying two days here, even in a 5-day Jordan itinerary.

Things to do in the Dead Sea, Jordan

Adding the Dead Sea to your Jordan 5-day itinerary offers you the best of a variety of worlds- luxuriating relaxation, experiencing biblical history, and indulging in adrenaline-inducing adventure. You will not be disappointed by spending at least one day experiencing the mesmerizing landscapes surrounding the sea, with the stark desert backdrop and salt-encrusted shores.

Float in the Dead Sea

You can’t add the Dead Sea to your Jordan itinerary without trying your hand at floating in the Dead Sea. Many hotels have direct access to the Dead Sea, making it easy to experience the magic of its waters. If you’re not staying at a hotel with Dead Sea access, you can go to a public beach (Amman Beach or O Beach) with a relatively inexpensive entry fee, but the ratings on them are not the greatest.

A better, but more expensive option, is getting a day pass at one of the resorts.

Movenpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea

Movenpick is one of the most luxurious beach and pool experiences that the Dead Sea has to offer. Day passes are around 75JD per person which gives you access to the private beach, shower, changing rooms, pool area, and 15 JD meal credit. If there are 2 or more adults in your party, you may want to opt on getting a room as it may be cheaper.

✔️ Get Movenpick Resort & Spa nightly rates ✔️

Dead Sea Marriott & Resort

The Dead Sea Marriott has Dead Sea Beach access as well as 3 outdoor swimming pools and an infinity pool with dynamic views. Day passes cost about 50 JD, which includes a food and beverage credit. Call the hotel for the most up-to-date pricing.

✔️ Get Dead Sea Marriot & Resort nightly rates ✔️

Dead Sea Spa Hotel

Dead Sea Spa Hotel offers a nice budget-friendly option with day passes at about 20 JD. The price includes access to the Dead Sea, changing room, chairs/loungers by the sea, mud scrub, showers, lifeguards, swimming pools, and a bar and cafe. Do note that towels and lockers each cost an additional 3 JD.

Get a Mud Scrub

The Dead Sea is notorious for its mineral-rich mud and water that has therapeutic powers. Most hotels offer complimentary mud scrub opportunities. The rules- soak in the Dead Sea for 10 minutes, apply the scrub, wait for 10 minutes, and rinse the scrub off your body in the Dead Sea. Do not, and I repeat, do not, rinse the scrub off your face with Dead Sea water because the water’s salt consistency will leave your eyes burning.

Soak in a Hot Spring

Ma’in Hot Spring Resort & Spa is home to 3 waterfalls and multiple gender-separated public pools for bathing, as well as a family pool- which men are not allowed. Do note that depending on the amount of rainfall, all 3 waterfalls may not be running, as well as some of the water may be hot to touch in the summer. The entrance fee is 15 JD and includes 2 pools, with the largest pool reserved for resort guests.

Experience Biblical History

Experience the location of one of the most important events in biblical history, the Baptismal site of Jesus Christ. Located on the Jordan water with views of Israel, this historical destination is about 30 minutes away from the Dead Sea. The entrance fee is 12 JD, and free for those with the Jordan Pass.

You can even get into the water. What an experience!

Canyon Al Wadi Mujib

Explore the rugged beauty of the Jordanian landscape from a completely different perspective by canyoning at Al Wadi Mujib Adventure Center. Al Wadi Mujib, also known as the Mujib Gorge, is a dramatic and awe-inspiring canyon located in the eastern part of the Dead Sea region, about a 90-minute drive from the Dead Sea beaches and Amman. Here you will rappel down steep cliffs, slide into refreshing pools, and swim through narrow gorges, leaving you with a sense of exhilaration and achievement.

Be sure to come prepared (unlike me). Pack water shoes with good traction or quick dry hiking shoes because you will get wet and good traction while canyoning is key. If you would like to bring your phone to take pictures, bring a sturdy waterproof bag. Get my full Jordan packing list for Al Wadi Mujib.

If you love an adrenaline rush, it’s worth adding to your Jordan 5-day itinerary. Also note, there may be a wait before you can start canyoning, due to capacity limits.

How easy is it to complete the Siq Trail at Wadi Mujib?

I am going to be honest, completing the Siq Trail at Wadi Mujib is one of the most challenging things I’ve done physically. The experience of navigating through the gorge, sometimes having to squeeze through narrow passages, leap into pools, and pull yourself up a large slippery boulder, brings you face to face with the raw power and beauty of the natural world.

If you’re up for both a mental and physical challenge, be sure to add the Siq Trail to your Jordan 5-day itinerary as it offers an unforgettable blend of excitement, natural beauty, and a sense of accomplishment.

Where to stay in The Dead Sea, Jordan

Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa

My experience at Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa was excellent! So much so, that my stay here was the pivotal point where I knew I had to return to Jordan with my family. Located right on the Dead Sea, not only does the hotel offers direct access to the Dead Sea Beach, but they also have complimentary mud scrub with attendees to assist, if desired. There are multiple pools, including one for kids-only, another for families, another for adults-only, and an infinity pool with a spectacular view of the Dead Sea.

The excellent service, modern and well-maintained accommodations, and delicious food were the perfect additions to make my stay here memorable.

You’ve enjoyed the first day of your Jordan 7-day itinerary and now you’re ready for more. Depending on if you want to squeeze a few extra hours sunbathing in Aqaba, leave the area in time to get to Wadi Rum around your camp’s check-in time, or earlier. This will allow you to spend a part of day 2, exploring Wadi Rum.

As a reminder, Wadi Rum is also known as the Valley of the Moons due to its endless red sand dunes, narrow canyons, and towering rock bridges that dot the landscape. If you only have time for one unique thing to do in Wadi Rum, be sure to make it a Jeep tour. This will allow you to embrace the unique landscape while learning about the Bedouin culture.

Day 4: Petra, Jordan Itinerary


Now that you’ve explored the Valley of the Moons, its now time to enjoy one of the wonders of the world, Petra. If you’re up to it, wake up early, grab breakfast at your campsite, and embark on the 1 hour and 45-minute journey to Petra. Aim to get there before 9 AM to beat the crowd and heat.

If you’re a super-early riser, get on the road when you wake. Petra opens at 6 AM. Do remember that if you plan to walk to the monastery, it’s over 20,000 steps and a 5-hour adventure.

Day 5: Dead Sea, Jordan Itinerary

After driving almost 2 hours and walking 20, 000 steps at Petra yesterday, you may want to wait to make the 3-hour drive from Petra to the Dead Sea until Day 5 of your Jordan 7-day itinerary. This will allow you the time to make the drive while you’re refreshed and reward yourself by floating in the magical waters of the Dead Sea when you arrive.

If you still have energy, you can visit one of the additional attractions I have listed in the things to do in the Dead Sea section under the Jordan 5-day itinerary above.

The 10-day Jordan itinerary combines the best that Jordan has to offer. From Jordan’s varying landscapes of the Red Sea’s pristine beachfront or the endless red sand dunes of Wadi Rum to exploring some of Jordan’s most historical destinations like Petra and Amman, there is literally something for every type of traveler. This 10-day Jordan itinerary especially lends itself to history and bible buffs as there are 2 days with destinations that focus primarily on these subjects.

Day 1: Aqaba, Jordan Itinerary

Depending if you have to drive 4 hours to Aqaba from landing in Amman or if you flew directly into Aqaba, will determine if you will need the extra half day or so in Aqaba. If you love the water, be sure to book a snorkel or diving experience in the Red Sea. The water is abundantly clear, making it such a fun and unique thing to do in Jordan.

Day 2-3: Aqaba/Wadi Rum, Jordan Itinerary

Travel from one beautiful Jordan landscape, the pristine beachfront of the Red Sea to another, the endless landscape of red sand at Wadi Rum. If you’re not much of a beachgoer or think you can get your diving in on the first day, opt to spend days 2 and 3 of your 10-day Jordan itinerary dedicated to Wadi Rum.

In parts, it can be relaxing since it’s rather secluded, in the sense that it’s not recommended that you walk around Wadi Rum unguided as you can easily get lost in its endless tapestry of red sand and dunes. But it’s unique. There’s no place on earth like Wadi Rum- from the unique landscape to the culture, and the beautiful Martian domes and panoramic tents.

If you can only do one thing while in Wadi Rum, make sure it’s a Jeep tour. And the longer you are in Wadi Rum, the more you can include. If you’re there for 2 nights, be sure to try sandboarding, and for the hiking lovers, try a full-day Wadi Rum hiking tour.

✔️ Learn more about adding sandboarding to your Wadi Rum Jeep Tour ✔️

Day 4: Petra, Jordan Itinerary

Petra, the marvelous new wonder of the world known for its iconic rose-red city carved into the rock cliffs, transports you back to where the ancient Nabatean culture unfolds before your eyes. As you walk in the footsteps of past civilizations, you become part of a living narrative, immersing yourself in the stories, myths, and legends of the people who once thrived within these walls.

For the average traveler, spending one day at Petra will suffice. On that day, you can walk from the beginning to the monastery, which is basically the end. That will take you more than 20,000 steps and about 5 hours. During that time you will quickly scan most of the architecture and get a high-level understanding of the history.

However, there are people who spend 2 or more days visiting Petra, to fully understand the history. If you plan on spending the night in Wadi Musa, the town where Petra is located, consider doing Petra by Night where the Siq path to the Treasury is candlelit. What a special experience!
