Jordan

Jordan is one of the Middle East's most accessible and rewarding destinations for independent travellers. This 9-day self-launched itinerary mirrors G Adventures' Solo-ish Jordan route — from Amman's buzzing street food scene and Roman ruins, through the Byzantine mosaics of Madaba, the breathtaking rock city of Petra, the alien desert of Wadi Rum, and finally the legendary Dead Sea. By swapping the private van and group tour markup for public buses, shared taxis (service taxis), and self-booked local tours, you can experience every highlight at a fraction of the cost. All costs are approximate estimates in GBP per person.

This self-launched version of Flow Travel and Tourism's 5-day Jordan itinerary covers all the same unmissable highlights — Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Madaba, Mount Nebo, and Amman — at a fraction of the guided group tour price. You'll swap the private guide and included transport for public JETT buses, shared jeep tours, and independently booked entrance tickets, while still staying in comfortable guesthouses and budget hotels. Jordan is a very traveller-friendly country and these sites are easily navigable solo or in a small group. All costs are approximate estimates in GBP per person.

Swap the guided group tour for a self-launched e-bike adventure through Jordan's most spectacular landscapes — from the Dana Biosphere Reserve to Wadi Rum's red sands and the iconic ruins of Petra. You'll rent your own e-bike, book local guesthouses and Bedouin camps directly, and use shared taxis and public buses between key stops. The route follows the Jordan Bike Trail south from Tafilah to the Dead Sea, taking in Crusader castles, Nabataean trade routes, desert mudflats, and the Red Sea coast. All experiences are self-bookable; entry fees and e-bike rentals are arranged independently. Costs are estimated per person based on budget traveller rates — expect to pay roughly a third of the commercial tour price.

Take on one of the Middle East's most spectacular cycling adventures independently — riding the Jordan Bike Trail from Dana to Wadi Rum and all the way to Petra, without the group tour price tag. You'll rent a quality mountain bike locally, book your own Bedouin camp stays, arrange shared transport between sections, and self-navigate using the Jordan Trail Association's free GPS tracks. Same epic desert landscapes, same starlit wild camps and glamping domes, same Petra backdoor hike — just a fraction of the cost and the freedom to go at your own pace. Estimated costs are approximate and based on current budget traveller rates.
