Jordan (Aqaba, Wadi Rum & Petra)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Jordan is a Middle Eastern country bordered by the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Israel, and the Palestinian territories, packing an extraordinary range of landscapes and history into a compact area. It is best known for Petra, the ancient Nabataean city carved into rose-red sandstone cliffs and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Wadi Rum's vast desert wilderness draws hikers, climbers, and stargazers, while the coastal city of Aqaba offers some of the Red Sea's best diving and snorkelling on easily accessible coral reefs. Travellers are also drawn by the Dead Sea, the mosaic-covered Byzantine churches of Madaba, and Jordan's reputation as one of the region's most welcoming and safe destinations.

Classic Petra & Wadi Rum — Self-Launched from Aqaba

A 4-day, 3-night self-launched version of Jordan Horizons Tours' "Classic Petra & Wadi Rum" loop, starting and ending at Aqaba's King Hussein International Airport. You'll cover the same ground — a 4x4 day in Wadi Rum with a Bedouin camp overnight, then the Siq, the Treasury and the main trail of Petra — but booked yourself: public/shared minibus transport up the Desert Highway, a budget desert camp in Wadi Rum, a local Bedouin driver-guide for the 4x4 tour, and a licensed Petra guide joined on the spot (or a self-guided walk with the Jordan Pass). Costs are approximate backpacker rates in GBP, assuming a solo traveller sharing where sensible.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Jordan (Aqaba, Wadi Rum & Petra) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
