Our family adventure holiday in Jordan, exploring Petra, Wadi Rum and the Red & Dead Seas
Jordan is the perfect place for those looking for an action-packed one-week family adventure holiday. Our itinerary is full of awesome experiences including exploring lost cities, swimming and camping in the desert! Our trip starts at Jerash, where many ruined remains allow us to step back in time and imagine life in the bustling Roman metropolis that once thrived here. We drive down through Jordan to reach Mount Nebo and the Dead Sea, where we can enjoy the unique experience of floating in the saline water. Covering ourselves in the mud, although traditional, is optional! We have a full day exploring the lost city of Petra, tucked away in a series of connecting canyons and gullies, entering via the atmospheric narrow Siq. We then take to our 4x4 vehicles and drive into the deep, ochre-hued desert of Wadi Rum, once home to Lawrence of Arabia. Our vehicles will take us to explore the rocky outcrops and red sands and there is the chance to ride a camel. We enjoy the very best of Bedouin hospitality in a desert camp, choosing to sleep beneath the stars if we so wish. Our journey through Jordan takes us all the way to Aqaba were we can relax by the turquoise waters of the Red Sea before returning to Madaba for our flight home. This is a wonderful Jordan adventure, which simply sparkles with fun family activities, incredible ancient sites and plenty of interaction with the welcoming people of this friendly country.
