Pack a pair of light, breathable pants instead (go for lighter colours to reflect the heat).<\/li>\n<li><strong>A lightweight jumper\/sweater<\/strong>: Nights in Wadi Rum can get pretty cold, so pack a couple of lightweight tops you can layer if you get chilly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comfortable walking shoes: <\/strong>Petra is big. Very big. And if you want to get the most out of your adventure, you\u2019ll want to explore as much of it as you can. If you\u2019re the more active type, there are some challenging hikes you can do as well \u2013 ask your leader about the best ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>T-shirts:<\/strong>T-shirts are acceptable, tank or halter tops not so much. The longer the sleeves, the better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your swimwear:<\/strong> No trip to Jordan is complete without a dip \u2013 well, float \u2013 in the Dead Sea, so don\u2019t forget your swimwear.

Some sort of moisturiser is highly recommended to avoid turning into a walking, talking sultana.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A travel towel<\/strong>: Our desert camps are probably not as basic as you may anticipate (they\u2019ve got Western toilets AND showers). Pack a small travel towel if you feel like freshening up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A sleeping bag (November to April)<\/strong>: Blankets are provided, but it can get cold at night during winter, so it\u2019s a good idea to bring a sleeping bag.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Portable charger<\/strong>: The camps we stay at in Wadi Rum are powered by generator and solar power, which means power may be intermittent during periods of low light. We recommend investing in a portable charger so you can charge your phone, kindle, camera batteries, etc before you head into the desert, rather than potentially relying on a non-existent power supply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water purification tablets<\/strong>: Water in the major cities is usually fine, but these will come in handy as you move through rural communities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrap or headscarf:\u00a0<\/strong>More for sun\/sand protection than modesty reasons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mosquito repellent:<\/strong>There are a few mosquitos and other bitey things in Jordan.
