Our Jordan Holidays

From spectacular desert landscapes dotted with splendid desert castles, to the verdant Jordan Valley; ancient archaeological wonders to bustling souks and cities; busy beaches to the restful waters of the Red Sea, this is a land of extraordinary contrasts. Jordan holidays are characterised by the friendliness of the people, who are quick to welcome you to their magical country. In their eyes, it’s the cradle of civilisation – and who are we to argue? Indeed, Jordan trips are perfect for those with a fascination with the past.

Visit the UNESCO-listed ancient Lost City of Petra, and venture to Wadi Rum where you can camp under magnificent desert skies. Float in the super-salty water of the Dead Sea or snorkel in the Red Sea at Aqaba. And for adventure lovers, there’s 4X4 safaris in Wadi Rum, cycling and trekking.

The accommodation we use ranges from 3 – 5 star depending on the trip style. On some trips a local Bedouin family are our hosts in Wadi Rum where we have a private camp used only by Exodus groups. It’s available on the following Jordan tours: A Week in Jordan, Petra & Wadi Rum Trek and Petra & Wadi Rum by Bike, Jordan and Israel Discovery, and Petra and Wadi Rum Adventure. Our team of local guides are highly qualified experts whose enthusiastic welcome demonstrates their pride in sharing their beautiful country with our guests.

Highlights of our Jordan holidays

Jerash: Buried under the sand for hundreds of years, Jerash has been carefully excavated. Marvel at the Triumphal Arch, unusual Oval Plaza and impressive Temple of Zeus, and walk on the original Roman stones of the cobbled streets.

Petra: An ancient city, hidden for hundreds of years after its third-century BC Nabataean inhabitants abandoned it, Petra‘s rose stone buildings were carved directly into the rock and still retain the sense of decadent grandeur they were built to display. The breathtaking views are one of the true highlights of our Jordan tours.

Wadi Rum: Used as the backdrop to a number of films, the desert scenery at Wadi Rum is astounding. Taking a desert jeep safari into the dunes is a must-do on Jordan holidays. Bed down for the evening and appreciate the changing golden hues of the sand from sunset to sunrise, and after dark enjoy an all-night lightshow from the galaxy of stars above.

The Dead Sea: Float effortlessly on your back in the salty water and let the high mineral content perk up your health and your sense of wellbeing – the most relaxing highlight of all our Jordan trips.

This was a great trip because of the staff that were with us. The guide Anas was so accommodating and helpful, always smiling and wanting to share as much knowledge about Jordan as possible. No problem was too difficult for him to try to sort. The driver Walid was also hugely experienced and helpful. We were a very small group-3 of us and another super couple. Luckily it worked very well. There was a private group of 9 who were doing the same holiday and I presume that was how the 14 was made up. We were made to wait an hour every morning to let the private tour go first and this was probably the most annoying thing about the trip as we had to wait until 9.00 or 10.00 to leave and so had less time in the evening at our destination – a bit unfair but nothing our group had control over. Also think you should state there is really not much cycling in your brochure. And what cycling there is, is predominately downhill-and some of the downhill is very scary. Quite a few accidents between the 2 groups. We had a poor cycling guide who did not maintain a steady pace and this did not help with uphills and downhills. He seemed to care little what the group was doing, rarely looked behind and was also focusing on his training! Our guide spoke with him but I would suggest he is moved on. We had a day with an excellent cycling guide-ammar and so this guy’s failings really stood out.

I already submitted a review form and won’t add to the comments made there. But I realsied that I wasn’t prompted to say anything about the two hotels we stayed in (or maybe I missed that). These were: Edom Hotel (Wadi Musa / Petra). This was really excellent. Clean, efficient, well-placed and a pleasure to visit. I have no idea why it is only described as “comfortable” rather than being given a deserved 4* rating. The only minor downisde was no bottled water in rooms. Days Inn Hotel Amman. Well, at least the staff are nice and we got bottled water in the rooms! But in other respects it is poor and certainly not deserving of a 4* rating. Everything is tatty, the corridors and rooms – despite being notionally non-smoking – reek of cigarette smoke (this applied to two visits and two different rooms a week apart) and, on our second visit, the bath had not been cleaned – there was a wet pile of hair in the middle of it. I am sure that Amman can do better than this for the same money.

FAQs on Jordan Holidays

What does a family tour of Jordan look like?

Imagine ancient cities drenched in history, sprawling deserts where castles rise up majestically and archaeological wonders that give you a deep insight into the country’s intriguing past – this is just a taster of what our Jordan holidays offer. Because our itineraries are packed with exhilarating adventures, Jordan is a fabulous place for a family holiday. From camping beneath the stars at the UNESCO-listed Wadi Rum and floating in the Dead Sea, to discovering the Lost City of Petra, every minute of our Jordan tours is exciting.

Both children and adults will love the electric atmosphere at the Gladiator show in the Roman city of Jerash, or perhaps they’d prefer the thrill of the water slides at Saraya Water Park. And for a truly soul-stirring experience, an overnight stay with stargazing at a traditional Bedouin camp will create unforgettable memories.

How many days do you need in Jordan?

Owing to the number of amazing sights there are to see in Jordan, you’re going to need a minimum of 8 days to make the most of your trip. We provide Jordan tours ranging from 8 to 12 days to ensure you have ample time to explore the main sights and get a deeper insight into the country’s history and culture.

Is 7 days in Jordan enough?

We’d recommend booking trips to Jordan that are a minimum of 8 days so that you can get the most out of your time in this incredible country, especially as the flights are quite lengthy.

Are Jordan holidays all-inclusive?

While you can book all-inclusive Jordan trips, at Exodus we focus more on giving you the best experience possible by introducing you to the most iconic sights as well as hidden treasures. Each of our Jordan tours gives you a clear description of what is and isn’t included and there are also additional activities available. Because our tours of Jordan often allow you free time to explore on your own, you might want to enjoy additional meals that aren’t included in the itinerary.
