A private, fully customizable 14-day loop through Jordan—Amman, Jerash, Madaba, Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba and the Dead Sea—designed to combine archaeology, desert adventure and seaside relaxation with private transport and flexible pacing.
You arrive into Amman at dusk, the capital’s sandstone blocks glowing in the last light while a driver meets you with a nameboard and a cold bottle of water. That first short transfer sets the tone: efficient logistics, private vehicles, and a pace that alternates between archaeological immersion and deliberate leisure. Over 14 days this itinerary hands you Jordan’s headline acts—Amman’s Citadel and Roman theatre, the Roman streets of Jerash, the mosaic maps of Madaba, the buoyant Dead Sea, two full days inside Petra’s gorge and facades, an overnight under the stars in Wadi Rum, and the Red Sea calm of Aqaba—while leaving room to customize the in-between.

You arrive into Amman at dusk, the capital’s sandstone blocks glowing in the last light while a driver meets you with a nameboard and a cold bottle of water. That first short transfer sets the tone: efficient logistics, private vehicles, and a pace that alternates between archaeological immersion and deliberate leisure. Over 14 days this itinerary hands you Jordan’s headline acts—Amman’s Citadel and Roman theatre, the Roman streets of Jerash, the mosaic maps of Madaba, the buoyant Dead Sea, two full days inside Petra’s gorge and facades, an overnight under the stars in Wadi Rum, and the Red Sea calm of Aqaba—while leaving room to customize the in-between.
Petra demands a slow arrival. The Siq, a 1.2 km slit of sandstone, funnels you toward the Treasury’s carved face; the full Petra circuit stretches across uneven trails and stairways—plan for the Monastery’s roughly 800 stone steps and a minimum 5–6 hour day if you want the summit ridge and back-trail to Baida. Geologically the region is a study in wind and water sculpting: Nabataean artisans carved monumental façades from rose-hued sandstone, while Wadi Rum’s wind-sanded domes and arches read like a desert laboratory of erosion. Historically the landscape is layered—Hellenistic-era Decapolis towns, Roman colonnades in Jerash, Crusader and Ayyubid castles like Ajloun, and the living Bedouin culture in the southern deserts.
Expect practical contrasts: city streets and cafés in Amman, cool mineral baths at Ma’in, and a hard, dry sun in the Wadi Rum dunes. The Dead Sea sits at roughly -430 m, its waters so saline your body resists sinking; bring an old swimsuit and rinse off thoroughly after floating. Wadi Rum nights are brutally beautiful—low humidity and minimal light pollution make for wide-open starscapes.
Logistics are straightforward: private, air-conditioned transport and an English-speaking driver are included; accommodations range from 3* to 5* hotels and a desert camp. A Jordan Pass—required for many attractions—saves time at checkpoints. Pack flexible footwear for Petra’s rocky trails, a sun kit for the desert, and swimwear for Aqaba and the Dead Sea. If you want to add hot-air ballooning over the Petra plateau or a guided canyon scramble, these are available as upgrades.
This trip balances cultural depth and active exploration: plan two full days in Petra, budget slow mornings at Ma’in and the Dead Sea for recovery, and reserve a late afternoon jeep stretch in Wadi Rum for the best light. With a private guide and customizable days, this 14-day loop is ideal for travelers who want Jordan’s big moments delivered with local insight and the freedom to linger where the landscape—or the coffee—invites you to stay a little longer.
Visa rules depend on nationality; many visitors can get a visa on arrival, but check your embassy and consider the Jordan Pass, which includes visas for many nationalities when purchased in advance.
The Jordan Pass bundles entry to Petra and other attractions and waives the single-entry visa fee if you stay at least three nights; it’s recommended to save time and money.
The tour is private and can be tailored—some sites like Petra involve steep steps and uneven ground, but seniors and families can skip strenuous sections and still enjoy many highlights.
Yes—private format allows upgrades such as a balloon flight over Wadi Rum/Petra or guided hikes; these are available at extra cost when requested.
The Jordanian dinar (JOD) is used; tipping is customary—drivers and guides typically receive small daily tips, while restaurant service varies by venue.
Jordan is generally stable and welcoming to travelers; standard precautions apply—keep valuables secure, register travel plans with family, and follow local guidance in remote desert areas.
VIP Jordan Limo operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
