4-Day Private Jordan Tour: Petra, Wadi Rum & Dead Sea

Welcome to Jordan! Upon your arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, your private representative will greet you at the arrivals hall, assist with immigration procedures, and escort you to your waiting vehicle for a comfortable transfer to your hotel in Amman. One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Amman has been home to civilizations since the Bronze Age and today blends ancient heritage with a thriving modern identity.

After check-in, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure. Depending on your arrival time, you may wish to take a relaxed stroll through the city’s downtown streets, sample traditional Jordanian cuisine at a nearby restaurant, or simply unwind at your hotel after your journey. Overnight in Amman.

After breakfast at your hotel, around 7:30 AM your private driver will pick you up for the scenic drive south to Petra, approximately three hours through Jordan’s striking desert landscapes. Upon arrival, begin your exploration of this legendary Nabataean city, rightfully recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Enter through the Siq, a dramatic narrow gorge stretching over one kilometer, its towering sandstone walls rising up to 80 meters on either side. As you emerge from the canyon, the iconic Treasury (Al-Khazneh) reveals itself in all its rose-pink grandeur — an awe-inspiring moment that never fails to impress. Continue deeper into the ancient city at your own pace, discovering elaborately carved royal tombs, the Roman-era colonnaded street, and the ancient amphitheater hewn directly from the rock face.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant near the site. In the afternoon, explore additional highlights including the Street of Facades, the sprawling archaeological complex, and the Great Temple with its impressive Nabataean stonework. Around 4:00 PM, depart Petra and transfer to your hotel in the area. Overnight in Petra.

After an early breakfast at your hotel, around 7:30 AM depart Petra and drive approximately one and a half hours south to the magnificent desert wilderness of Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon. This vast, otherworldly landscape of red-sand dunes, towering sandstone cliffs, and ancient rock carvings served as the setting for the film Lawrence of Arabia.

Upon arrival, board a 4×4 jeep for a thrilling two-hour safari through the desert. Your Bedouin driver will take you through sweeping valleys, narrow gorges, and past ancient Nabataean rock inscriptions. At each stop, take time to hike, scramble over rock formations, and soak in the majestic panoramic views at your own pace. Enjoy a traditional Bedouin tea in the heart of the desert before concluding your safari.

Around 1:00 PM, depart Wadi Rum and begin the approximately four-and-a-half-hour drive north to the Dead Sea, descending roughly 1,000 meters to the lowest point on Earth at 400 meters below sea level. Arrive by early evening and check in to your resort. Spend the rest of the evening floating effortlessly in the mineral-rich waters, relaxing by the pool, or treating yourself to a rejuvenating spa session. Overnight at the Dead Sea.

Enjoy a final breakfast at your resort with views over the serene waters of the Dead Sea. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for a last morning float in the salt-laden waters or a leisurely stroll around the resort grounds. The therapeutic mud and mineral-rich environment make for a wonderfully relaxing start to the day.

Check out from your hotel and meet your private driver for the transfer to Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, approximately one hour’s drive. If you have a later flight, a day-use room can be arranged at an additional cost so you can relax in comfort before heading to the airport. Your driver will ensure you arrive at the airport with ample time for check-in and departure formalities. End of tour services.
