Adding Days into Your Jordan Tour

“The desert has gone a-begging for a word of praise these many years.
It never had a sacred poet: it has in me only a lover.”
John C Van Dyke – 1901

Madaba, Nebo & Jarash
Visiting the historical sites of Madaba, Mt. Nebo and Jarash. Following breakfast, we start the day at Madaba. Madaba is rich in history and renowned for its ancient mosaics and Byzantine churches. We take in the highlights of Madaba including the famous ‘Madaba Mosaic Map’ (Madaba Map), consisting of 2 million pieces and dating back to the sixth century it depicts Jerusalem and the surrounding areas. Other mosaics are found in nearby churches and museums. Not far from Madaba is the biblical Mt. Nebo, where, according to Jewish and Christian tradition, Moses saw the promised land. After taking in the views from the mountain we head to Jarash. Jarash is widely considered to be one of the most remarkable and best-preserved Roman cities in the world. It was hidden beneath the desert sands until just 70 years ago, when excavation and renovation work began. This day is particularly long and includes relatively long drive times- (3 hours each way).

Arava Canyons

Not recommend June-August

 Experience some real desert 4×4 adventure on the spectacular off-road routes which wind their way through the Edom Mountains to the Arava Valley (Arabah). We go off-road through the dramatic landscapes of the Southern Arava canyons, driving over the red sand dunes and taking in the superb desert scenery. We continue through this enchanting landscape to the area’s most impressive canyons, here scenic 4×4 trails take us up to the heights of the Edom mountains. The area has scenery similar to that of Wadi Rum yet remains almost untouched by tourism. We visit local Bedouin who tend small orchards scattered throughout the canyons. This tour takes in scenery that is amongst Jordan’s finest. This option combines scenic off-road routes with some walking, it is particularly recommended for the winter season.

price: 2-3 people- $369 per person in double/triple room, 4 people or more – $330 per person in double room.
single supplement $55 per person.

 

Dead Sea Canyons- Wadi Iben Hamad
Hiking through the superb canyons Near the Dead Sea. This full day hiking tour takes us deep into the spectacular Iben Hamad canyon of the Moav (Moab) Mountains in the Dead Sea area. For people who truly love to hike through nature, there can be little that matches the appeal of a trek that combines breathtaking mountain peaks with deep canyons and gorges. These magnificent canyons are unique to this area and flow year-round with warm spring water. Rock-pools and waterfalls are found throughout their length and rich vegetation adorn their canyon walls. We highly recommend this tour to people who love the great outdoors, have a reasonable physical fitness level and are comfortable walking in water. Iben Hamad in the most colorful and picturesque one of all. This day is involved with a beautiful long drive of 3 hours each way. Highly recommended!


Dead Sea Canyons- Wadi Mujib

Between April to October (child under 18 is not allowed) –
Another of Jordan’s renowned canyons is Wadi Mujib. It is the largest and most impressive of all the canyons. its vertical walls tower 500 meters from the base and the streams, which run their length, reach up to 15 meters high after rain. Due to this no vegetation can grow in the canyons. The canyon has a strong stream running its entire length ad getting fully wet is unavoidable. The Mujib is a perfect option for the summer months, when you dry off almost as quickly as you get wet. The hike is more difficult than of option 2 and its involved with a payment of 25$ p.p. as entrance fees into the reserve. This day is involved with a beautiful long drive of 2.5 hours each way. Highly recommended!

price: 2-3 people- $369 per person in double/triple room, 4 people or more – $330 per person in double room.
single supplement $55 per person.

 


adding extra day in Petra- The Monastery, Mt. of sacrifice & Aaron Tomb

This is a full day touring Petra independently or with a local Bedouin scout (no guide); Our staff take you from your accommodation back to Petra and you spend the day exploring yet more of the major sites, you may choose to get a closer look at the Royal Tombs and the archeological ruins on the lower grounds, or for the more energetic the ‘High Places’ of El Dier (Monastery) and the High Place of Sacrifice are particularly popular, you should be aware that to cover both of these high sites on a single day requires an early start and a high level of physical fitness as each one requires a good uphill hiking ability and for most people one ‘high place’ is enough on a single day. Please advise our office in advance if you wish to see both sites on the same day so we can prepare the early transportation. Lunch is again included. And by afternoon you meet up with our tour staff that will take you to your hotel. The cost of a local scout to lead you on your route on the second day is $80 inclusive for the whole group.
Another option for either day in Petra (with a supplement), is ascending top of Jabel Harun (Aaron tomb), we board a local Bedouin 4×4 pick-up for the off-road drive to Mount Aaron. We leave the vehicle where the jeep trail ends and begin the half hour ascent to its summit on foot. On the mountain peak we find Aaron’s shrine and enjoy the astonishing panoramic views from the summit. From here we head down and make our way to Petra’s entrance and to our hotel.

Adding a Bedouin scout for the day will cost $80 more for the group.
The additional cost for Aaron Mt. by jeep: $195 inclusive up to 3 participants 4 people and more $75 each.

Extra day in Wadi Rum- Into the southern Wadi Rum and optional climbing

Hiking and climbing in the wilds of Rum: Climbing to the top of the arch of Jabel (Mt.) Burda or to the top of Jabel Um Adami, the highest Mt. in Jordan- probably the most exhilarating way to experience the beauty of Wadi Rum. We follow dramatic 4×4 routes in our off-road vehicles and by foot explore hidden hiking trails that take in the best of the areas scenery. An exceptional day in the wilds of Rum that few tourists get to experience. Camels can be combined as well during the day.
