TRIP OVERVIEW
TRIP ITINERARY
NUTS & BOLTS

Travel to Jordan and experience the alien landscape of Wadi Rum and Petra, one of the wonders of the world. Visit Amman, Jordan's lively and atmospheric capital, which is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities on Earth. Trek through a truly unique landscape, passing natural rock formations that seem to defy the laws of nature. Be blown away by the presence of the ancient city of Petra, intricately carved into the red rock itself. This is a truly unique location and a trip that will not be forgotten.

Day 1: Amman

Ahlan Wa Sahlan! Welcome to Jordan.

Your trip normally starts at our hotel in Amman in the evening of day 1. Hotel check-in times are from around 3pm.

Amman has served as the modern and ancient capital of Jordan and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with a 1994 excavation uncovering homes and towers believed to have been built during the Stone Age (circa 7000 BC). Check out sites such as the 6,000-seat Roman theatre built in the 2nd century, or the Citadel, offering panoramic views over the city from the highest hill in town. Within the Citadel is the museum that contains the Dead Sea Scrolls, and also the excavated ruins of an Umayyad palace.

Days 2-5: Wadi Rum Trek

After breakfast we transfer by bus to Wadi Rum. Today is a short acclimatisation walk (2 hours) from Disseh village to the Umm el Twaggy camp, where we enjoy the dinner prepared by our Bedouin hosts and staff.

The next day we continue the trek from Umm el Twaggy to traverse Siq el Barrah, a magnificent desert canyon with immense rock walls (5 hours). We camp in the area between two mountains Rakaa and Mharrak.

We begin the third day's trek by heading to Jebel Burdah (2 hours). In the afternoon, we take a guided climb to the arch of Burdah (3 hours), a moderate scramble on good rock. From here there are spectacular views across the dramatic landscape. Our camp for the night is found next to Burdah.

Today we head southwest to the Um Fruth rock bridge following Khor el Ajram to the Wadi Khashkhasheh and visit the inscriptions of Siq el Khazali, and then continue to Laurence House where we camp nearby. (5 hours).

Accommodation

Camping (with basic facilities) (4 nts)

Day 6: Petra

We leave Laurence House and then go north through Wadi Um Ishrin. We continue with a Bedouin 4x4 vehicle to Disseh village, before our transfer to Petra in the late afternoon.

Accommodation

Hotel (1 nt)

Days 7-8: Petra/Amman

This morning we pay a visit to Petra. After walking down the siq, the narrow chasm which is the only entrance to the city, we come out directly in front of El Khazneh, the Treasury. Continuing to the centre of the city, we pass the houses and tombs of the more affluent citizens, and the amphitheatre.

Continuing further beyond the centre is El Deir, the Monastery, a its superb façade carved into the rock and topped by a huge urn. After our visit we transfer back to Amman.

Please note that when entering Petra as a group a complimentary horse ride is included in the ticket price from the entrance point of Petra down to the Siq. Intrepid recommends passengers do not take this option due to the safety and insurance liability involved.

There are no activities planned for the final day and you are able to depart our accommodation at any time. Please check the 'Finishing Point Hotel' section for checkout times and luggage storage possibilities.
