Jordan is brilliant, the culture, the landscape, the people and the food are fascinating. A safe place where we felt very welcomed.

Adventure Holidays to Wadi Rum
The Wadi Rum is otherworldly: a copper valley forged into the sandstone and granite rock of southwest Jordan. You’ve probably seen it already. The desert scenery has been used in a string of Hollywood blockbusters, including the Star Wars franchise, The Martian, Dune and, perhaps mostly famously of all, in Lawrence of Arabia, the 1962 classic about the British lieutenant T.E. Lawrence who is etched into local folklore.
Many of our small-group adventures to Jordan visit Wadi Rum. Take a jeep safari into the dunes and bed down there for the evening, staying in a a private Bedouin camp. Appreciate the changing colours of the sand from sunset to sunrise; after dark, gaze upwards as a galaxy of stars puts on a night-long lightshow.
Wadi Rum Adventure Holidays
Pilar Lafuente A Week in Jordan
Karabo Motaung Petra & Wadi Rum by BikeThis Jordan adventure was the perfect blend of history, adventure, and natural beauty. We cycled through stunning landscapes, from the rose-red canyons of Petra, where ancient wonders appear around every corner, to the vast, cinematic desert of Wadi Rum, under a sky full of stars. Along the way, we enjoyed gems like Aqaba, with its warm Red Sea waters and vibrant coral reefs, and the Dead Sea Resort, where floating in the salt-rich water was the ultimate reset after days of exploration.
The trip was thoughtfully designed, combining active adventure with cultural immersion.
Emilie Tobin A Week in JordanJordan is an incredible country filled with breathtaking landscapes, delicious food, and welcoming people.
There is no better way to get to know a country than by talking to its people. Our group was privileged to have Amer with us. Amer is a skilled storyteller and a encyclopedia of knowledge. He encouraged us to ask questions and didn’t shy away from providing honest answers. Beyond his historical knowledge, Amer has a deep love for his country. He is proud to be Jordanian and that passion radiates in every conversation and in every place we visited. I count myself very fortunate to have experienced Jordan through Amer’s eyes.
I am a seasoned traveler and Jordan is one of my top three favourite trips ever. I encourage anyone who has thought about visiting Jordan to book the trip now. You won’t regret it.
