I invite you to discover the south of Jordan between the natural reserves and the dunes of Wadi Rum without forgetting that it's possible to visit in just a short week! With sports challenges and discoveries of splendid panoramas.

Have you heard of Petra or the “rose city”?

This archaeological city is a must-see! Many tombs, temples, and monuments carved into the pink sandstone cliffs... You can admire it during your tour. Petra is also one of the 7 wonders of the world.

To give you more ideas

An excursion from Mount Nebo to discover a splendid view over the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. A visit to the Wadi al-Mujib Nature Reserve to admire the Jordanian canyon, or that of Dana, the most beautiful in the country. You can meet locals to learn more about culture and history. A two-day excursion to Petra is a must to admire the ancient jewels of old cities. Very early in the morning, you can undertake the ascent of Djebel al-Madhbah at sunrise. Go hiking on foot or by camel or in a Meharée.

Furthermore, set off to discover Wadi Rum and enjoy a night under the stars in the desert for a panorama as magnificent as it is exotic. A country with thousands of discoveries, you'll also have the opportunity to relax with a swim in the Red Sea. Many sites are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. So, the architectures are truly unique, it’s an incredible journey to do with friends, family, as a couple, or alone for example.

Some advice?

For beaches and sun, bring water shoes for swimming and your swimsuit, sunglasses with sunscreen. For every day, take your international permit; the currency is the Jordanian dinar. Also, don’t forget your good mood in your suitcase!
