Petra & Wadi Rum

Our overnight stay here is the hidden gem of your Jordan adventure.
The reserve contains a remarkable diversity of landscapes
from wooded highlands to rocky slopes and sandy dunes.
Dana supports a staggering diversity of flora and fauna - 600
species of plants, 37 species of mammals and 190
different birds.
You approach the ancient Nabatean city of Petra via a narrow siq
(gorge), at the end of which the impressive buildings hewn out of
solid pink rock are revealed. You have a full day to explore Petra before taking to 4WD vehicles and heading deep into the wild desert and
towering cliffs of Wadi Rum. You spend the night under the stars in
a Bedouin-style tent before travelling to the Dead Sea – the lowest
point on earth – to float in its saline waters.
Near Amman you’ll savour the magical atmosphere of Roman
Jerash and marvel at the diverse landscapes of Jordan from the summit of Mt. Nebo. Continuing south, you head into Dana Nature Reserve. Here
a system of wadis and mountains extends from high plateau to
desert lowland – one of the best natural treasures in Jordan
