Please carefully read the Tour Details and ArchaeoAdventures Tour Policies on the Wonders of Jordan and Petra Tour Details page.

What’s Included in the Tour: 

• Small group of 6-12 like-minded travelers. (Minimum of 6 travelers for this trip and a maximum of 12 travelers). A quarter of the size of most tour groups. This small-group tour provides an intimate and personal experience in Jordan.  
• Full-time knowledgeable, engaging professional local expert ArchaeoAdventures Tour Leader and expert history and culture guides who will bring to life Jordan’s rich, complex and important history, as well as, help you understand the Jordan and its culture. We will explore Jordan with both our main Tour Leader and also local history and culture guides who are experts in specific locations such as Petra. We will also have a local guide from the Bedouin community in Wadi Rum. These additional local guides we work with are often members of the local community and can help us experience Jordan like a local.  

Note: We work with local women guides wherever we can. Jordan currently has very few women working Tour Leaders, who can guide the entire country. Due to cultural reasons women do not guide on trips that visit local Bedouin communities. We are working with our incountry team to help develop women guides across Jordan, but at the moment this tour works with a mix both excellent male and female guides. Your Tour Leader will be an excellent male guide. In the local communities, we will meet local women and learn about how they are leading their communities. Jordan is a country that is rapidly changing and over the coming years you will see more women in guiding leadership roles. It’s an exciting place to visit, experience this growth.

Can you enjoy traveling in a developing nation? Jordan is a developing, growing nation that has been steadily moving through a fast period of growth and change. It’s an exciting and fascinating time to experience Jordan. As a developing nation many services, systems and levels of environmental cleanliness are not the same as they may be in your home country. Jordanians are a warm, friendly people and are very welcoming to travelers. 

This trip requires moderate activity level – sustained walking for 2-3 hours over rough terrain, cobblestone, and in the heat unassisted.

There will be one day of 4-6 hours of walking, sometimes uphill and up many stairs, while exploring Petra. This day is broken up with rests, stops to take in and photograph the spectacular views and to explore the historical sites. The focus of the day is exploring the sites of Petra and some of the incredible views and lookouts. Because Petra was hidden in a desert siq and built into the sides of the hills and canyons, it does take some beginning to moderate hiking to reach the different sites. This requires a moderate level of fitness, but is well worth the moderate hiking involved to see some of the most spectacular sections of Petra that few travelers visit. You don’t need to be a advanced hiker or a super fit traveler to be able to participate and enjoy this day. A good marker of the fitness required for this day in Petra is if you can walk 4-6 hours around your own hometown with minimal stops for lunch and a few coffee breaks. Some hills and many sets of stairs are required to navigate while exploring Petra, but we take these sections at a slow, steady pace enjoying the views and the archaeological sites along the way. Trekking poles are recommended for this day.

Some days you may be on your feet for the majority of the day. A few days there will be up to 6-8 hours of driving. This trip is not appropriate for travelers using walkers, wheelchairs, other mobility aids, or who cannot stand on their feet for 2-3 hours while visiting sites and walking around outdoors in the heat.

One night we camp at a luxury camp in the Wadi Rum desert. There will be comfortable, modern beds, hot showers, electricity and toilet, but no air conditioning.

If you do not think you’ll be able to meet this level of activity requirement, or you have any questions or concerns please email our helpful staff at [email protected].  

Note: This tour requires all travelers to bring a reusable water bottle or hydration system to reduce our footprint and enjoy a sustainable tour free from single-use plastic water bottles.

We run low impact, eco-friendly, sustainable tours. We leave no traces behind, reduce plastic use and leave as small a foot print as possible with our tours. And we ask our travelers to join us in this effort – contributing to the efforts of protection of the local land, its people, wildlife and culture. All our local guides and staff are properly employed, licensed and properly equipped and trained. We utilized local products and focus on economic benefits to local communities, as well as always considering and minimize the negative impact our tours have on the land and local communities. We are growing our efforts to reduce plastic water bottle use, working with our in-country teams to find creative ways to explore countries sustainably and with as little plastic waste as possible. This is an on-going process and easier to implement in some countries compared to others due to logistic, single-use plastic water bottle alternatives and local education around recycling and reducing plastic waste. Over the next 5 years you will see our tours become ever increasingly plastic-waste free. We look forward to helping you travel and explore the region in a sustainable, plastic-free style.

There are a few ways you can help make this tour sustainable and eco-friendly:

• Bring a reusable water bottle and don’t buy one-time-use plastic water bottles. (We will provide a large jug of clean, purified water for you to fill your bottles from).
• Throw away all trash in properly designated trash bins.
• Recycle where we are able to.

Note: This tour requires all travelers to bring a reusable water bottle or hydration system.
