Before You Book
The things travelers ask us most about this tour.
Yes — entrance fees for the sites on this itinerary are in the price, so there is nothing to buy at the gate. What you would still pay for separately are Jordan visa, hotels (outside the desert camp night), flights, tips and personal spending.
Private. It runs for your group alone — all transport in a private air-conditioned vehicle and private English-speaking guide — so the pace is yours and nobody waits on a coach filling up. We do not merge bookings into larger groups.
Prefer to join a small group? See Weekly Trips →Enough that you should be comfortable on your feet for most of the day. A full day on foot at Petra, 4x4 desert travel and a camp night in Wadi Rum, then the Dead Sea to recover. Petra is the demanding day. If someone in your group has limited mobility, tell us before you book — we can usually adjust the route or the pace rather than have you find out on the day.
It runs 5 days across 4 bases — Jordan, Petra, Wadi Rum and Dead Sea. The day-by-day breakdown is on this page, and start times flex around your flights and how early you like to begin.
Yes — every tour here is a starting point rather than a fixed package. Swap a site, add an experience or a photoshoot, change the pace, or extend it by a day and we will rebuild the schedule around you.
