Leave the conventional highways behind on this 6-Day Jordan South Jeep Safari Adventure Tour, combining Petra with three days of off-road exploration across some of southern Jordan's most remote desert landscapes.
Begin with an overnight stay in Amman before travelling south to Petra, where you will walk through the Siq to the Treasury and have free time to explore more of the ancient Nabataean city. The real desert adventure begins the following morning as you board a 4x4 and travel through Little Petra, Wadi Feynan and Wadi Araba.
Continue across the Hisma desert through Humaima and Diseh before reaching the extraordinary landscapes of Wadi Rum. Three nights in private bivouac camps bring you closer to Jordan's desert environment, while included lunches and dinners keep the safari self-contained.
Your journey concludes in Aqaba on the Red Sea after six days combining archaeology, remote landscapes and genuine off-road adventure.
Welcome to Jordan. After completing your arrival formalities at Queen Alia International Airport, meet your representative and continue to Amman.
The transfer to your hotel takes approximately 45–50 minutes. Check in and spend the remainder of the day resting and preparing for the journey south.
No scheduled sightseeing or included meal is listed for arrival day.
After breakfast, leave Amman and travel south along the Desert Highway toward Petra, with the drive taking approximately 2.5 hours.
Meet your local English-speaking guide at Petra and begin your introduction to the ancient city. Walk through the narrow Siq before reaching the Treasury.
After the guided portion, continue exploring Petra independently. Depending on your interests and fitness level, you can visit the Street of Facades and Royal Tombs or continue farther into the archaeological site.
Travelers prepared for a demanding climb may continue toward the Monastery, reached by more than 800 steps.
Return to your hotel in Petra for the night.
After breakfast, the off-road section of your journey begins.
Board your 4x4 jeep and travel first through the distinctive landscape surrounding Little Petra before continuing toward Wadi Feynan.
Wadi Feynan has a long history connected with copper mining and production. Enjoy an included packed lunch during the safari before continuing deeper into southern Jordan.
Travel onward to Wadi Araba, where your desert route takes you through areas traditionally inhabited by Bedouin communities.
Reach your private bivouac campsite in the evening. Dinner is served at camp before your first night in the desert.
Wake up in the desert and enjoy breakfast at camp before continuing the safari.
Travel off-road toward Humaima in the Hisma desert. The site preserves traces of different historical periods and adds an archaeological dimension to today's desert journey.
Continue through the southern landscape toward Diseh, travelling across terrain reached by 4x4 rather than the standard touring highways.
Lunch is included during the safari.
Arrive at the private bivouac campsite later in the day, where dinner is prepared before your second desert overnight.
After breakfast, continue the final full day of your three-day desert safari.
Travel toward Wadi Rum through the southern desert landscape, passing the Kharazah rock bridge along the route.
Enter Wadi Rum, characterized by broad desert valleys, colored sand, rugged mountains and dramatic rock formations.
During the journey, see the Seven Pillars of Wisdom rock formation before continuing deeper into the desert.
Enjoy your included lunch during the safari and reach the private bivouac camp later in the day.
Dinner and your final desert overnight complete three nights of bivouac camping across southern Jordan.
Enjoy breakfast at camp before leaving the desert behind.
Travel south to Aqaba on Jordan's Red Sea coast. Your six-day jeep safari concludes with drop-off at your Aqaba hotel.
From Aqaba, you can extend your stay beside the Red Sea, continue exploring Jordan or arrange onward travel separately.
