Why Jordan Tours

We will pick you up from your hotel in Aqaba or dockside if arriving by sea.  You will then be transferred by air-conditioned vehicle (about 1.5 hour’s drive) to the rose red rock city of Petra, a must-see in the Middle East.  Meet your guide at the Visitor’s Centre.  Wind your way through the mile-long Siq before entering the rose-red city of Petra.  See the stunningly beautiful Treasury,  explore the Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, Theatre, Colonnaded Street, Byzantine Church, Nymphaeum, Winged Lion Temple and the Qasr al-Bint.   After a hearty lunch in the town of Wadi Musa you will be driven for 1.5 hours to Wadi Rum, one of the most impressive desert landscapes in the world; famous as the location where T E Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) spent much of his time during the Arab Revolt in 1916 and where he wrote his famous Seven Pillars of Wisdom.Wadi Rum is a protected area covering 720km2 of dramatic desert wilderness in the south of Jordan. Discover the area during a 2 hour 4×4 jeep tour.  See huge mountains of sandstone and granite emerge, narrow canyons and fissures cut deep into the mountain, some concealing ancient rock drawings.  Bedouin tribes still live among the mountains of Rum and their large goat-hair tents are a special feature of the landscape.
