Exploring Petra and Little Petra
Start your day early with a hearty breakfast before setting off on a memorable hike through Petra. Your journey will take you to some of Petra’s most iconic sites, including the Treasury, the Amphitheatre, and the Monastery (El Deir).
Little Petra
Begin with a visit to Little Petra, a miniature version of the grand Petra site. Despite its smaller scale, it was once a vital suburb of Petra, accessible through a narrow entrance reminiscent of the Siq. Here, you’ll find tombs, temples, and remnants of water channels and cisterns carved into the rock. Notable is the frescd cave representing grape vines, highlighting the area’s role in wine production. The Siq Al Barid, or the “Cold Canyon,” showcases the Nabataean irrigation system with its rock-carved channels and reservoirs.

Embark on a trek along a lesser-known trail crossing mountain ridges to the Baida region. This demanding hike, part of the Jordan Trail, offers spectacular views of the Rift Valley of Wadi Araba and the intriguing landscape of Little Petra.

Wadi Rum Camel Ride
End your stay in Wadi Rum with a memorable camel ride. Arabian camels, also known as dromedaries, are perfectly adapted to desert life with their single hump and ability to go without water for days. Historically, they were essential for Bedouins and caravan routes across the desert. Riding a camel is easy, with a Bedouin handler guiding you through the experience. Enjoy the unique perspective and leisurely pace as you traverse the stunning landscape of Wadi Rum. After approximately an hour, your camel ride concludes at Rum Village.
Journey to the Dead Sea
From Wadi Rum, embark on a four-hour drive to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, situated 400 metres below sea level. The Dead Sea has attracted visitors since the time of Herod the Great due to its remarkable therapeutic properties. The area is known for its high temperatures, low humidity, and rich atmospheric oxygen. The Dead Sea is famed for its mineral-rich waters and therapeutic dark mud, which have been used for over 2000 years for their anti-inflammatory benefits.

Frequent Flyers & Special Requests
For more information on whether your airfare is eligible for Frequent Flyer rewards, please contact the airline directly. When booking online, please ensure that you have entered your correct number. For bookings made by telephone via our Customer Service Team, please advise of your Frequent Flyer details and these will be added to your reservation. We do not take any responsibility should an airline not register your trip. You should retain copies of your air ticket and boarding pass.
Special requests will be passed on to the Providers but cannot be guaranteed.
