10-Day Journey Through Jordan: Ancient Cities, Sacred Sites, Desert Wonders & Healing Waters

Ten days. One extraordinary country. Just four of you. An experience that will quietly rearrange the way you see the world.

This immersive journey takes you deep into the heart of Jordan—from the layered history of Amman and the Roman grandeur of Jerash, to the sacred banks of the Jordan River, the rose-red rock of Petra, and the cinematic silence of Wadi Rum's desert. You'll swim in the Red Sea, race across desert sands on a dune buggy, stand where Moses once gazed toward the Promised Land, and float in the ancient mineral waters of the Dead Sea.

Travelling as a group of just four is something we do on purpose. It means private transfers, undivided attention from your guide, and the kind of access that larger groups simply can't have—a seat at a local family's dinner table, a quiet moment at the Treasury before the crowds arrive, a jeep to yourselves at sunset in Wadi Rum. You move together, you linger where you want to, and you leave with the kind of shared memories that only come from experiencing something extraordinary in close company.

This is Jordan without the rush, without the crowds, and without compromise—and that changes everything.

Touch down in Amman and be greeted by your private driver for a seamless transfer into the city. Settle into the elegant Signia Hotel before joining your group for a welcome dinner—a warm introduction to Jordanian hospitality, flavors, and the adventures that lie ahead.

Continue to Ajloun Castle, a 12th-century fortress rising dramatically above rolling hills of olive groves—built by the forces of Saladin and commanding views that explain exactly why they chose this spot.

Today's drive south is a journey in itself. Stop at Wadi Numeira, a hidden canyon oasis, for a quiet tea break surrounded by dramatic cliff walls. Marvel at the shimmering Pink Lake—a photographer's dream of colour and stillness against the desert. Pay a visit to Bethany Beyond the Jordan, the sacred site where Jesus is believed to have been baptised, where ancient stone steps lead down to the water's edge and the air carries something hard to name. Continue to Little Petra—a secret carved canyon that once welcomed Silk Road traders and still holds that quiet magic—before arriving at your homestay as the sun dips low.

In the afternoon, transfer to Wadi Rum,

Known as the Valley of the Moon, Wadi Rum is a surreal desert landscape of towering sandstone mountains, narrow canyons, and vast open spaces that have captured the imagination of travelers, filmmakers, and adventurers for decades. This protected area in southern Jordan is rich in both natural beauty and ancient history—home to Bedouin tribes and covered in petroglyphs that date back thousands of years.

Explore this otherworldly terrain by 4x4 for a 2 hour sunset tour, and spend the night under a blanket of stars in a traditional Bedouin-style desert camp. Whether you’re chasing the golden glow of sunset across the red sand dunes or standing in the same spots where Lawrence of Arabia and The Martian were filmed, Wadi Rum is a place that stirs the soul and lingers in your memory.

This traditional camp is in the heart of the red sand protected area. It holds traditional bedouin tents and shared bathroom facilities. You will enjoy dinner and breakfast with breathtaking views. If the sky is clear, you can get a perfect view of the Milky Way from here.
