Why This Tour is Budget-Friendly

The Mid-Size Shared Tour achieves an optimal mix of affordability and experience. Here’s why:

• Shared costs: Traveling as a group divides the cost of transportation and lodging, keeping prices significantly lower than private tours.
• Smart routing: Following the path from Amman to Petra to Wadi Rum, then to the Dead Sea, avoids unnecessary detours, saving both time and fuel.
• Essential inclusions: With access to a tour guide, Dead Sea resort entry, and meals at key junctures, the package encompasses major costs while being budget-friendly.
• Flexibility: Excluding entry fees allows for additional savings if you purchase the Jordan Pass, which covers entry to Petra, Wadi Rum, and visa fees.

Sample Two-Day Itinerary

• Day 1: Morning pickup in Amman followed by a 3-hour drive to Petra. Explore the ancient city, walking through the Siq, marveling at the Treasury, and wandering among the tombs and temples. Afternoon transfer to Wadi Rum leads to an overnight stay in a Bedouin camp with dinner under the stars.
• Day 2: Breakfast at the camp precedes a 2-hour Jeep safari in Wadi Rum. Afterward, transfer to the Dead Sea to experience floating in the saline waters, covering yourself in therapeutic mud, followed by lunch at a resort. Finish the day with an evening return to Amman.

Travel Tips to Maximize Your Experience

• Get the Jordan Pass: This can save you money on entry fees and your visa.
• Pack wisely: Comfortable walking shoes, swimwear, sunscreen, and a light jacket for cool desert nights are essential.
• Eat local: Beyond included meals, try small local cafés instead of touristy spots to help manage your expenses.
• Travel off-season: Spring and autumn boast pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and better rates.
• Expect long drives: Since distances can be substantial, prepare for full travel days—but the landscapes along the way are worth it.

Unforgettable Moments

• Wadi Rum’s night sky: Free from city lights, the desert unveils a stellar canopy unlike any other place on Earth.
