Jordan: Ancient Cities, Iconic Petra & Red Sea Swimming
Get ready to explore Jordan your way with this budget-friendly adventure. Kick things off in the vibrant city of Amman, home to ancient ruins and the birthplace of great civilizations. Dive into history with visits to iconic sites and discover Jordanian hospitality on a foodie adventure in As-Salt. Wander the ruins of Jerash, then amp up the excitement with a trip to the legendary Petra and an unforgettable camping experience under the stars in Wadi Rum. Wrap up your nine-day journey with swims in both the Red and Dead Seas. It’s an epic mix of adventure, culture, and free time to make it your own.
Highlights
Experience a taste of As-Salt’s rich culinary traditions on a food tour throughout the city and sit down for tea in a local home, Visit the remarkably well-preserved Roman archaeological site of Jerash, See the unique and charming Little Petra before hiking along the back door trail to its famous big neighbour, Enjoy a day of optional activities in the wildlife-rich waters of the Red Sea, Sit down for a delicious traditional Jordanian lunch at the G Adventures-supported Al Safi Kitchen working to create a sustainable future for its local community
Accomodation
On this trip you can expect to stay in small local hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights.
Group Leader
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
