Journey through Jordan on an 8-day Premium adventure and discover a land of desert treasures and altruistic people. From the soaring facades of Petra to the lowest lows of the Dead Sea, the sunrise colours of Wadi Rum and the ancient ruins of Jerash, Jordan’s landscapes impress at every turn. But beneath its striking exterior is its people – full of heart and deep-rooted tradition. Learn the secrets of Jordanian cuisine with a mother and her daughters, immerse yourself in Bedouin culture during dinner at their camp and travel with a local leader who will illuminate the magic of their country.

Is this trip right for you?
  • Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

Very enjoyable trip to Jordan! Great to see the highlights of Petra, the Dead Sea and Wadi Rum. Would skip the Premium and would prefer more meals outside of hotels.

Fantastic trip. Jordan is wonderful. Zaher was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, kind and generous. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a well rounded understanding of this part of the world.

Premium Jordan with our brilliant local guide and driver gave us the time to enjoy a fascinating country and all its history and beauty. Eight days is not long anywhere but this trip was far more than a taster it was a smorgasbord of delights.

Our decision to use Intrepid Travel when booking a holiday to Jordan was a good one. We were well looked after, the holiday was of a very high standard and the guide (and our driver) were so helpful and knowledgeable. The holiday will live long in the memory.

This was truly an exceptional trip. Jordan is a fascinating country with lots to do and see. Our guide was superb in historical, geographic and religious knowledge. The group had an excellent dynamic, the food was fantastic and the accommodation was really good. Cannot recommend this trip highly enough!
