Jordan Tour Packages

With Jordan Tour Packages, you can discover world-famous landmarks, breathtaking deserts, and unique natural wonders in just one trip. From the ancient city of Petra to the red sands of Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea, Jordan offers remarkable experiences within a surprisingly compact destination.

The country has one of the strongest safety records in the Middle East for international tourists. The UK Foreign Office, the US State Department, and the Australian DFAT all classify Petra, Amman, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, and the Dead Sea under standard travel advice — not elevated warnings. First-time visitors routinely say Jordan exceeded their expectations, largely because they arrived thinking it was one site when it is actually half a dozen.

Jordan’s tourism numbers reflect this momentum. The country welcomed 2.7 million overnight visitors in the first half of 2025 alone — a 14 percent year-on-year increase — even as regional pressures persisted elsewhere in the Middle East. That growth comes from European, Asian, and American travelers discovering that Jordan is a straightforward, well-run destination with functioning infrastructure, excellent English coverage in tourist areas, and genuine warmth from local people.

The 3 Experiences That Define Every Jordan Trip

The logic behind every Jordan itinerary is the same three anchors: Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea. Each one delivers something the others cannot. Together, they create a trip with no weak section.

Petra: Why Two Days Change Everything

Most visitors arrive at Petra expecting a famous photograph. Al-Khazneh — the Treasury — is that photograph. But Petra is a 264 km² archaeological site carved into rose-red sandstone by the Nabataean civilization over 2,000 years ago. The Treasury is at the end of the 1.2 km Siq gorge, and the site extends for hours beyond it.

On a one-day visit, most travelers reach the Treasury, walk to the Roman Theatre, and start the return climb by early afternoon. They see roughly 20 percent of the site. A second day opens the Monastery (Ad Deir), a 45-minute uphill walk to a carved facade larger than the Treasury, which sees a fraction of the crowds. It also gives you the Royal Tombs in the early-morning light and enough time to take the back route through Wadi Farasa without feeling rushed.

The physical reality: Petra involves significant walking on uneven stone paths, often in dry heat. Sturdy footwear, 2+ liters of water per person, and a full day starting before 9:00 AM are not optional. A knowledgeable local guide changes the site entirely — the carvings and water channels are meaningless without the context of how this city sustained 30,000 people in the middle of a desert.

Wadi Rum: Why the Overnight Stay Is Non-Negotiable

Wadi Rum is 720 km² of protected desert — sandstone columns, ancient rock art, and silence so complete it becomes a physical sensation. Day-trip visitors arrive by Jeep, tour the valley for three hours, and leave. Overnight visitors see something different.

At sunset, the sandstone columns turn from orange to deep red to near-purple as the light changes across about 40 minutes. After dark, Wadi Rum sits in one of Jordan’s lowest light-pollution zones — the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye on clear nights. At 4:00 AM, the desert is cold enough to need a layer. By 7:00 AM, the rock walls are warm again, and the valley is almost entirely yours.

Wadi Rum requires RSCN (Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature) registration for operators. Peregrine handles this as part of every package — no paperwork falls on you.

The Dead Sea: A Physical Experience You Cannot Prepare For

The Dead Sea sits at 430 meters below sea level — the lowest point on the surface of the Earth. The water contains roughly ten times the salt concentration of the ocean, and the buoyancy is immediately disorienting. You cannot sink without a deliberate effort. You lie back, lift your feet, and the water holds you without any input from you.

The mineral content — 21 identifiable minerals including magnesium, calcium, and potassium — is why the water looks slightly oily and leaves your skin feeling genuinely different after a 20-minute float. The experience is impossible to replicate anywhere else on Earth, and it is two hours from Amman.

What no one prepares you for: even a small cut stings intensely on contact. Shaving the morning before a Dead Sea swim is not recommended.

Jordan Tour Packages

All eight packages below include the Jordan Pass, private vehicles, and licensed English-speaking local guides. No shared coaches. No other travelers in your vehicle.

Why Peregrine for Jordan

The Jordan Pass is included in every package.

The pass covers the tourist visa fee waiver (40 JOD, applicable for stays of 3+ nights) and entry to over 40 sites, including Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum, and the Amman Citadel. The pass must be purchased before you arrive in Jordan. Peregrine handles the application and confirms activation as part of pre-departure coordination.

Private vehicles throughout.

Every Peregrine Jordan package uses private, air-conditioned vehicles with a dedicated driver. You will not share a coach with other travelers. The vehicle is yours for the duration of the package — the drive from Petra to Wadi Rum is 90 minutes of extraordinary desert highway that most people want to watch, not sleep through.

Hotel placement matters in Jordan.

The Mövenpick Resort Petra is the only major hotel within walking distance of Petra’s entrance — most agencies use properties in Wadi Musa village, 20 to 30 minutes by taxi. Peregrine lists the Mövenpick as the standard Petra selection for clients. In Amman, the Fairmont Amman and Amman Rotana are the default properties. At the Dead Sea, Peregrine uses the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea or the Mövenpick Resort Dead Sea. In Wadi Rum, all camps are luxury properties with private dome or tented rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and hot water — not dormitory camping.

Licensed local guides at every major site.

Peregrine’s Jordan guides are licensed through Jordan’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. At Petra, this makes a significant practical difference — the site is large and historically complex enough that self-guided visitors routinely miss key structures.

Site-timing coordination.

Petra requires booking through the Jordan tourism portal for peak periods. Wadi Rum requires RSCN registration. Peregrine manages both and confirms entry timing to minimize wait times at high-traffic points.

24/7 WhatsApp support.

The number you get before departure connects directly to your guide — not a call center or booking office.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Jordan tour package for first-time visitors?

The Classic Jordan Tour (7 days) is the most complete option for a first visit. It covers Amman, Jerash, the King’s Highway, Petra (two nights), Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea without rushing any destination. Two nights in Petra is the minimum needed to see the Monastery and the full depth of the site. The 5-day Jordan Highlights Tour is the right choice when travel time is limited to a long weekend or school break.

Does a Jordan tour package include the Jordan Pass?

All Peregrine Jordan packages include the Jordan Pass as a standard component. The pass covers the tourist visa fee waiver — 40 JOD, applicable when you stay 3+ nights in Jordan — and entry to over 40 sites, including Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum, and the Amman Citadel. The pass must be purchased before you arrive in Jordan. Peregrine handles the application and confirms activation as part of pre-departure coordination, so you do not need to manage this yourself.

How many days do you need in Jordan?

Five days cover Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea at a fast pace with one night in each. Seven days is the most popular duration — it includes Amman and Jerash and provides two nights in Petra, which is the right allocation for a first visit. Ten days allows the full circuit: Dana Reserve, Aqaba, Madaba, Mount Nebo, and a second relaxed day in Petra. If you only have four days, Petra and Wadi Rum alone make a worthwhile short trip.

What is the best time of year for a Jordan tour?

March to May and September to November are the two optimal windows. Temperatures at Petra and Amman sit between 18°C and 28°C; the desert is safe for Wadi Rum day trips and overnight stays; and the Dead Sea is warm without the extreme humidity of July and August. December to February is cooler and significantly less crowded — Petra can drop to 5°C at night at its 900-meter elevation, so a warm layer is needed. Avoid Wadi Rum in July and August unless you start all outdoor activities before 9:00 AM.

Is Jordan safe for tourists?

Jordan is consistently one of the most stable countries in the Middle East for international travel. The UK Foreign Office, US State Department, and Australian DFAT all classify the primary tourist areas — Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba, and the Dead Sea — under standard travel advice rather than elevated warnings. Jordan maintained international tourism through years of regional instability and welcomed 2.7 million overnight visitors in the first half of 2025, a 14 percent year-on-year increase.

What type of accommodation is used in Jordan tour packages?

Peregrine uses 4–5-star hotels as the standard for all packages in Jordan. In Amman, the default properties are the Fairmont Amman and the Amman Rotana. In Petra, Peregrine uses the Mövenpick Resort Petra — the only major hotel within walking distance of the site entrance. At the Dead Sea, the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea and the Mövenpick Resort Dead Sea are the standard selections. In Wadi Rum, all camps are luxury properties with private dome or tented rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and hot water.
